Seems like a dumb idea, but whatever… just thought the infamous Mr. Popcorn, and Shortez can get jollies off this prospect.

hahahaha, thanks BMWWW
I’m part of [twinturbo.net](http://twinturbo.net). I look every day but I guess I must’ve overlooked this one. Probably because the link is so small.
AHHHHH MAC!!! 😕
I went with dubv to a place and they had a million and one RBs for sale there.
Their back “warehouse” has all sorts of engines, front clips, etc.
A front clip for a skyline GTR R32 is $6000+
Still that’s something I would never do. RBs are heavy and much longer than the VG. Extra weight would be hanging forward and it would throw off the balance, plus I don’t like driving my car at 6K+ RPM every time I drive it.
Single exhaust??? The VG sounds amazing

yeah and if its ur first offense u can just go to court and fight it urself take option 3 guilty with explanation and if u got a good story it will get droped down to 2 points or maybe ull just have to pay the ticket
i got caught speeding 2 times first was 33 over and second 25 but both times i got lucky and the cop lowered it down to 15 which is only $52 fine no points
anyway we r getting off topic any1 swap a VG30DETT or RB into an altima? i’ve seen that VG35 into a sentra so i guess it can be done in a 2 gen altima too?

lol no its my 2nd speeding offence…so id rather have sumone fight it for me and not take the chance myself…cuz the cop followed me nearly from scarbs…all the way till vaughan past the 400…soo he saw wat i was doin…and i was definately not staying with the traffic…i was passing all the traffic
