Do it! Always wanted one of these, too... The sad thing is it's impossible to find an unmolested one. They've all been farkeled up by some punk that wanted to "drift", and people want 2x too much for them.My life feels incomplete without a panda Trueno in it.
Anyone know if a VG30DETT engine from a 300ZX will actually fit in a AE86? That would be insane.
You can make anything fit, but engine swaps are a huge pain in the ass. Especially when you go outside the family for the transplant. Changing such a big part as the engine can dramatically effect the balance of the car, too. Usually not for the better...Anyone know if a VG30DETT engine from a 300ZX will actually fit in a AE86?

It would suck ... you'd take the one redeeming value from that car and ruin it.
Why would it ruin the car? Seems like it would be a nice big horsepower and torque boost for an AE86 going from a 4A-GE engine to a VG30DETT. Plus twin turbo on a much lighter car than the Z32.
Something about adding 400 lbs. more shit to a lightweight car and about 300 lbs. of that is in the front. Can you say, understeer?
