I have seen a few RB26dett out there as well. I wish I had unlimited Time and money lol

How can you compare the driveability and character of the 2JZ to the S62. Granted the 2JZ is an amazing engine but it just doesn't belong in the E39.

Not sure if you are just interested in the 2JZ cars but you might be interested to read about the DA twins

Oh I'm not interested in the swap just wanted to post the links because I thought the guys did a great job. I'm running my M54 til it dies

I wish I had the money to send my M54 off to hpf to have turned into a beast. Have you seen their 1000whp daily drivable e46 m3? It's sweet!
