Work is boring so I am building my dream !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I now need a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! -built 3.3-liter L-block with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! twin cam cylinder head because why not? Also throw on the OS Giken timing gear kit.

Hmmmm, or somehow make a V12 L motor cause how hard could it be to cut up 2 blocks and have a crank made.....

That car is so pretty!

*Update:

I know these parts are stupid expensive and totally illogical. That’s why I say dream Z. In reality I would just get as much as I could out of performance parts for the original L24 engine (or !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ), triple Mikuni carbs, and a sequential blow thru turbo setup.

DAT $30,000 DOLLAR CYLINDER HEAD. You’re saving money on going with the B1Z (the new production run) over one of the 11 known surviving originals. One of those sold a couple years back for something like $125,000, IIRC.

I can’t say I understand why you’d have the engine stroked out, since the coolest thing about the TC24 is the 10,000 rpm redline.

I’d personally have someone like Kameari Engine Works go nuts on it. But that’s just me.

And I’d also shed as much weight as possible by replacing every panel with dry carbon parts from restored.jp.

No slack or issues when at high RPM. Supposedly the build is good for 8-9k rpm. And the noise is hhhnnngggg

This would never be a real build. I couldn’t ever consider wasting that money when I could just built a nice L24.

That doesn’t mean your Fantasy builds can’t be awesome.

Also, if you want high-revving twincam awesome AND carbs, you can always swap in an RB20 from R31 House.

I guess I could. I updated the post with the more realistic build I’d do.

That isn’t half bad. I’ve never been a fan of the 350 or 370Zs. They just don’t look right to me. Plus huge model bloat

OS Giken heads are priceless. I think the last time I heard of one being sold it was for like, $50,000. You’re better off having custom components made.

But 10,0000 RPM...
