My friend has a mad stereo car but is very slow and is about to sh!t it self. He wants to put a VN 6 into it and we are just wondering is that legal to drive on the roads on P's. Also any other stuff u need for it... thanx QUIKVL

it would hav 2 comply with all regulation sin place at the time the gemini was released, which means pretty much nothing, lol, its a pretty legal engine swap, just gotta get it roadworthy, if the swap is done well and nothing wrong with the gem body should be fine

anything is legal if you can have enough money to get it done right and all engineered properly. there is a gemini around brisbane with a rb30 in it.

man rotors are the cheapest engine of all.and their perfomance is second to none in a light car. it would be heaps easier than fitting a v6 and it would blow the doors of it too!

I came across a place that did the conversions fully engineered for.. 1500 or something I think it was. Could definately be wrong, but I think thats what it was, as already said, hot gemini would be your best bet.

I have seen 2 unfinished project Gem's with RB30's in them, guess they ran out of money or could'nt get engineers reports on them. Bloody owerpowered I'd say if turboed correctly.
