I can see the argument "for" this in that it's a bit of fun...but surely it would be even more fun to make a proper "GTR 4x4" that can go stupidly fast off road? I'm imagining a sort of Japanese Bowler Nemesis...
But what's the point of a bowler nemisis?I can apply that to everything, btw.
The point of this, is because they can. If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd do is put a 2JZ engine in a prius. Why?
Because I can.
Can the GTR engine even fit into the Quashqai without modifying the chassis? Never mind reengineering the drivetrain to work in the Quashqai as I imagine the 4wd already in it hasn't a hope of taking that kinda abuse.
Actually the more I think about the curiouser I am about how they're going to go about it.
A running feature on this build as it progresses would be very cool, and then a test against the Bowler Nemesis that Chris Harris covered and maybe a Murano as well

There's many boring f
kers here.
Why own a fast car?
Why eat junk food?
Why jump out of a plane?
Because you can, and it's fun.
Christ, I think I'd rather stay in and cut my wrists with razor blades than go down the pub with some of you.
Whilst I agree with your sentiments entirely I happen to think that this is a less interesting project.kers here.Why own a fast car?

It's JUST too close to the recent Juke experiment.
I love an outrageous engine swap as much as the next man, by all means stick the GTR lump in a Leaf, Evoque, Morris Minor, Trabant etc. but I honestly couldn't care less about this.
Sorry

Waste of a perfectly good GTR. That's all I can say...
+1To create something new out of nothing/spare parts/written off donor; no problem at all with that.
To destroy a very good car to make some mongrel that is probably not going to be as good as either of the two cars you started with makes no sense.
"Because you can" is not a reason for doing everyting. stick pins in your eyes? well, you can.. but its not a good idea is it?

I didn't ask what the point was. - I want an LS7 Vauxhall Omega. I can apply that to everything, btw.
