    I know nothing, other than its a brilliant idea.

    I'd be looking through Readers Rides at some of the RWD 3S Celica's etc, few nice builds kicking around.

    Worth considering a jap import RWD BEAMS 3SG engine, or even 3SG Altezza halfcut if you can find one. Although they are atmo, i'd be a good starting point if you get one for the right money...

    i know this is not going to sound good, but why not the sr20? as many have done it before and i believe it's fairly easy to get the conv parts?

    or you just want to be different?

    only thing I like about the nissans is the 1200 ute shape kinda a big fan of the toyota reliability and how easy it is to get power out of the for little $$$
