Thanks guys.

The VQ37 engine, tranny and ecu will go on sale locally but I have a strong feeling they will end up in my living room looking like this

Damn Sam, way to keep it different! I haven't been lurking on the forums much because of work and couldn't believe I missed this from a couple days ago.

The RB is one of my all time favorite sounding motors. Anyone that knows about cars will give you the "what the f*ck" look when you pull up to them.

only in Dubai, one of the first RHD to LHD conversions on the Skyline cars was done there.

Anyways this will be an awesome project. you've planned out everything I guess. Any reason not going with the VK Motors, of course RB motor is nothing less or maybe better.

Gasket kit, head bolts and tensioner kit have arrived and have been dropped off at the shop. Aiming to start stripping down the G on Saturday!

The manifolds were just held against the head to measure clearances from wheel well, we may have to re-route the wastegate pipe.

Wow, this build looks amazing. Jus like how people started ls swaps on 350s, this might be a blue print for the next crazy set up!

It's simple, I wanted a straight 6 with a single turbo and a Nissan DNA. I don't know any LS swap specialists here either.
