Ok one of the first cars i ever bought was an 88 Nissan 200sx (yes that says 200) it had power sun roof, all digital gauge cluster, kewl trip computer
that calculated mpg and how far i could go on the gas i had, nice seats, long low front end , auto and back wheel drive (o it was a 2.0 btw), it was a NICE car, not fast but nice...Now front engine rear wheel drive and did pretty good with the 2.0, but i was layin in bed the other night dreaming of what it woulda been like with a rotary in it... Now imagine that really nice car with a REALLY nice 13b......if anyone has a spare 200sx with all the stuff mentioned above, ship it to me :P I got a project to start and i wanna start NOW!!! :P I know some stumble blocks are gonna be...getting a converter to convert all ECU info to sumthing the gauge panel will understand and so it will be accurate....engine bay space SHOULDN'T be a problem...i think the transmission will clear the tunnel too, the auto was center mounted in my car and sat decently high up....rear end will prolly have to be welded in, i figure i will use the rx-7 rear diff/axle/drive shaft.....exhaust again not a prob...anything i am not thinkin of here ppl? o and the 200sx had lights just like 87 rx-7's too :P pop up style anyway

Looks pretty cool. Is the VG30DET the 3000GT engine?
No, and I MESSED UP, how could I, I should've said the VG30ET, because some 200SXs came with the VG30E, SOHC 3.0 n/a V6. The VG30ET (same basic engine, with single turbo) can hold about 400hp on stock internals. There's no such thing as a VG30DET, there is a VG30DETT (twin turbo), and that was the 300ZX Turbo engine.

CaptainSkoobing used to have an 86 Impulse Turbo.. That car had LSD, a five link rear end, and a pretty evil look.. the engine was a 1.9.. Anywayz, we have been pondering what that sucker would have been like with a T2 engine in there.. it would have saved some weight.. No one ever expected that car to be fast..
