JGTC with VQ30DETT!!! Pic,

This is awsome (to me), I know anything is possible with the right amount of cash, but, do you think a Max with a VQ30DETT would be feasible, could be my lotto winning project

I don't think our FWD platform would be able to handle that. Maybe on very conservative boost. You'd probably still spin your tires through 2nd gear. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

UH, not sure about you, but with a winning lotto ticket, I sure would not be bothering with a Max.

That's a max engine (sort of) in a Skyline

As for the lotto question, I love my max, I always said I would keep it and mod the hell out of it if I had the wonga to do it with

Fair enough...to each his/her own...in my case I wouldn't waste the garage space on anything less than an S55 (or the like) at that point.

I don't think our engine compartment is big enough for all that piping and crap It is already hard enough to put in a stillen supercharger.

The chassis layout is nowhere near factory for a skyline. I've seen this pictures of this setup and the motor is set way back almost behind the two front shock towers. Much like a RX7's engine bay. It gives the car awesome weight distribution.

Also, if I won the lottery I wouldn't buy a S55 or some other exotic. If you started out that way then in a few years you are no longer a millionare (at least that's what I say now)
