the engine will fit over the crossmember but needs to sit relatively close to get the optimum engine/box angle. dont forget the brakes either!

my mate is cutting his thats all i thought it was a stupid idea thanks for the info.

My cross member was modified to fit the engine. Its a shame I swapped everything except for the crossmember into the coupe before realising That was a waste of 2 weekends. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what did they scallop a bit out of the crossmember?

Hey vl383 awesome thread! I'm doing the same conversion into my LH. Stats will be (when its finished): Rebuilt rb30, slight porting, 'stage 2' jpc cam, standard t3 (suspect hiflow-has a bigger compressor wheel), Will stick with standard intake/injectors untill engineered. Also an r33 5spd box, custom sump/gearbox crossmember, CRS engine mounts. Already have a 3.5 9"diff (damn single spinner!) Heres some pics anyways, will try to get some better 1's soon. Goal is to get 200+rwkw with front mount etc. Will be fun!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This is awesome. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha gmhtorana members unite!

haha yeah a section of the crossmember has been scooped out. For some reason the sump at the start of the deep section isnt straight across. It is sort of on an angle. Its hard to describe but now the engine is back in I dont care!!

I see this thread has been started again. Nice work with your conversion. Hope everything works out. I don't know everything about the conversion as it my cousin's car and he did all the work. If anyone is genuinely interested if finding out some stuff PM me and I will give you Mick's number and you can call him and speak to him direct. Here's some vid links of the LC from the other weekend when we were having a bit of fun doing some skids... I think from memory it has pulled 197rwkw.

What kind of dumbarse tries to put a nissan engine in a torana anyways :P

very nice mate ... my uncle has a v8 308 soild motor in one , it is getting engineered for the street it should run low 10s mybe 9s as the last motor ran 11.2 118mph on 15" by 7" street strip tyres and this new engin has 200 hp more then last engin so should be good Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats a nice conversion! I got myself an LC coupe so might look at doing this one day when the funds are more avalible

Yeah mick's car is something you dont see everyday thats for sure, Hey scott what's the quickest time he has done over the 1/8th so far???

I think with a mild 200rwkw he has managed a 7.4 so far on the 8th.

bump - any news on this?

What news were you after? He has run a new PB of 7.2 on the 1/8th

Thats a great time for the power he's producing Wicked car, i see it at most portland drag meets
