Engine swaps
Speaking of the 240, since I never traded Claire for one 
Do you think we could ever hook up their SR20DET engine in our Rovers? The KA24DE that comes stock in our American versions of the 240 kinda suck but the stock motor in Japan is BEAST!

Oh this is true, but it would be interesting Since we all have problems putting RB26's in the 240s (my uncle drifts professionally and has 3 of them) THAT WOULD BE COOL to put in our fat rovers 6 speed turbo charged monsters. Who cares if it screams as you drive?

Caleb, I do not know how similar the 240SX engine was to the original 240Z motor. Those were bad to the bone. The SX came much later. And much wimpier.
I just picked up a copy of Motor Trend, it has two awesome Nissans in it:
The New Nissan NISMO370Z 350 HORSE WITH 276 LB.-FT. OF TORQUE. It has a world's first SynchroRev MatchManual Transmission, what ever that is.
Nissan Juke R - They took a GT-R driveline, shortened it 10 inches and put a Juke body on it. 3.8 liter/480 HP/436 lb.ft/ twin turbo dual overhead cam 24 valve V6
3.6 seconds 0-60, 11.9 quarter mile @ 117.5 mph without launch control. 6 speed twin clutch automatic tranny. THEY ONLY BUILT TWO SO FAR.

the new GTR i drove was already capable of acheiving some speeds you wouldnt ever want to do with other people in traffic... cant imagine how unstable a juke would feel with that same sort of power hah
interesting cars though, if a bit too heavy/big feeling/techy for my tastes.

Why not just keep the Rover V8, which is a VERY good engine, rebuild it, convert to a HEI distributor and drop on a 4bbl carb and intake?
That would still be cheaper and a hell of alot easier to do than any engine swap.
I have no idea why everyone hates the Rover V8 so much, in the rest of the world it is the 350 equivalent in modifications and build ability.

I for one like my idea of making it a mid-engine vehicle.
