Was reading in this month's Super Street (in the feature with the supercharged Rocky Auto 240Z) that one of Watanabe-san's next builds will be a VR38DETT in a 240Z! That's gonna be incredible!

Wonder what width tyres they'll put in the rear to deal with traction?!

I want to do that, but with the entire R35 drive train (engine to wheels) and put it in a Datsun 510.

^^ that would be awesome too! Has anyone put the VR38 into anything other than a Juke?

I sold my 2009 to a guy up north that is putting the whole drivetrain in a '57 Chevy Bel Air.

A co-worker said he saw a sandrail at Glamis that had a VR38 in it.

Awesome to hear this from the three of you guys! Now we need some followups and pics etc!

Maybe Dave should get in on this!

Haha......I've thought about putting one in one of the sandrails I build but the VR38 is heavy.....lol. The V-6 Acuras I use only weigh 350 lbs. The way I'd want to do the VR38 in a sandcar would cost alot and it would be rediculous.............how about 800 hp and less than 2000 lbs total weight.....it is very doable.

Would one fit in a 300zx?

A 240 with the VR will do great. Rocky Auto are great, i like their swaps.

There's an idea going on with someone that wants to do the swap with the GR6 into a Hakosuka. I'll open a thread If the project gets a green light.

Wow. Will that be near you or in Japan?

Making the trans happy in a swap would be a project. Nothing is impossible, but tip to tail swap would be the way.

Look what I found!

It is going to be a bitch to install i think. But nothing is impossible like you said, it might take time but im sure its achievable.
