you guys are insightfull
k, this is for BONZELITE and BLACKBELTCLUB99
Im goinjg to admit it, i am a newb at this import stuff, thats why im in here chatting it up, as expected.
anyways, i know wayyyyyyyyy tooo much bout cars and muscle car power, so in this case, its not like im not a gear head. anyways, to my point
i have to agree with bonzy cuz the 240sx/silvia come stock with a straight four and are fairly light. and on the other hand, theres this bigger, longer, heavier, 4 wheel drive car, the skyline. nissan has done an amazing job creating this beast in blue, but you have to also keep in mind that the guys up at the head office where they talk about how and what to do to a car, they know what they are talking about,
now, blackbeltclub99, a straight six, 4 wheel drive, and 3500 pounds, wow, i mean, ok in proportion, it sounds like it would be around the same as the 240sx/silvia tuned up a bit. but when you take that heart and power out of the blue beast, and put it in a small (sorry for using this word, but its an expression) rodent, VRRRRRRRRROOMMMMMMMMM, too much vroom. too much torque, as it is the skylines handling and turning is iffy cuz of the sheer power output. and when you drop that into a 240, your handling is gonna go out the window, i dont care what kind of tires you have to claw the ground. 18" diameter, 18" wide, your not gonna have enough fun out of it as you want. your gonna be driving this car on the road i assume. so you might as well go for some handling and and boost up the engine you carry now, it soudns like an amazing idea, i wanted to do it at first but its just not worth it.
right now i drive a 98 malibu, when chevy manufactured these cars, they didnt make brakes for the specific car cuz they didnt know how it was gonna sell, so they didnt want to spend the extra money there, so they took the brakes off the cavaliers and they threw them on the malibu. but what they didnt keep in mind is that the cav is a I4 where as the malibu is a V6 3.1 litre. so basically i have to get the brakes fixed about every 6 months. this is just an example of what your gonna have to deal with. so if your gonna do that make sure you upgradde your braking system first, do all the necessary changes to skeleton of the car before you change its heart.
BRAKES
SUSPENSION
TIRED
PROPERLY RATIOED DIFFERENTIAL
stuff like that, any ways like you guys have been saying, its all opinion
