Why wouldn't you buy a 3000GT VR4?

[silver]

if you're interested in 3000GTs look into a 1g or 2g AWD DSM instead. lighter, cheaper to mod, parts more readily available, etc

if you get the vr4- just don't try to turn. holy push batman.

Now, as far as 240 w/ SR or RB in it, you are starting with a cheap sports coupe. Their interiors are terrible and in order to look good you really need to get rid of those shitty pop-up headlamps. You will also need to refreshen suspension components. My stock VX seats are also more laterally supportive than those god-awful 240 stockers. It depends on what you ant and how much work you wanna put into it. Either way, you'll have a phuckin bad car!

the (i think) 95-up didnt have the popup headlamps

definatly go with the 240 , look into it alot and drop in a RB25det , then you will be happy , but the VR4's are badass too

Expect to spend 10K on wiring that hard to find skyline motor in . . .


But it would be sick.


Just go with the S13 or S14 depending on what year 240 you buy.

sorry dude but its not that hard. read Sport Compact and youll see

I have a friend that has one built. Its a GTO n1 Spec. Greddy project car. Anyways. Its badass only car ive ever seen waste a street bike on the freeway

Always blowin up the motor though. I would say that service work and realiability issues would be the only reason i wouldnt get one.

i bought my RB20DET full engine and tranny and wire harness for 1100 , not 10,000. If your good with wireing then ur good to go

wow, thats a good deal

i red up on sport compact car's install of one of these into an S14 chassi and it required all kinds of custom crap.

just buy my mustang and throw a supercharger on it. you'll be under $10k and beat vettes.
