I can buy a z32 for a nice price!
BUT ...
The car is from 1990 and the engine in the car is from 1996.
The catch is that the new (96) engine is in the car but
they say, they don't have the money to complete the swap,
and it isn't running.
Now I have the idea that they ran in some problems
which they couldn't fix or costs a ton of money.
Have any of you guys the idea what these problems
could be? A wireloom that doesn't fit? Ecu problems?
Old engine NA new engine twinturbo?
Are there differences between the 1990 engine
and the 1996 engine? I thought the later model
had variable valve timing which could cause ecu problem?

Please give me a hand with this guys!!
I wanna be a z32 owner!!!!
But I don't want to piss a way my money!!!
