Sorry for posting twice in a row, but worth it for this one. There was a rear, Turbo Maxima V6 engined 240z. I would happily lose a vital part of my body to have this in my life. The guy daily drives it too.

Holy Hiemlich Maneuver! Is there a build story on this?

Total guess here but maybe it started with a rear ended vehicle.

Where did you find that? The front didn't seem that bad this time...

( not sure if it's a VQ or a VG myself, I haven't seen many of them without their boring plastic covers)

The turbo is now significantly larger, the back end is chopped off and I think it has a different bumper aswell.

it's hard to see but in those earlier photo's the rear quarters look removable, you can see the break just between the fuel filler and the quarter window.

Definitely a larger turbo. It must spool up pretty fast, there's not much in the way of excess piping.

I'm more interested in what's going on in the front now.

All I can say is there's a spare sitting under the hood...
