Is it possible to put a GT-R engine in an FX (specifically my 2005 45)? What would need to change? How much would it be? Has anyone done it?

Might as well get a gtr, it will cost so much money and time

The reason I ask is because I found a GTR engine with 6k miles on it for 14k.

Maybe possible but its going to cost a lot of money. You can't just buy the engine. You need the tranny and a whole bunch of other things. I'm sure it will all be well over $40K
i don't see it happening. For that kind of money I'd rather get a real GTR

Hey if they can stuff one into a Nissan Juke why not an FX???

Haha yeah!
Just curious if it was possible and what that kind of swap would require.

The Juke is better suited for a little ralley drift racer than the luxury (and more expensive new off the lot price) FX. I'm sure it can be done, but no one wants the pony the expense and immense work.

Haha I would too, but otherwise throwing that kind of $ is not worth it

Don't forget how much it will cost you to maintain the GT-R. Brake job alone on GT-R cost close to 8 grand. Oil changes are $200-$500, transmission and differentials are $1000-$1500 and so on...

More than just the engine obviously. I doubt the FX transmission would bolt right up then there is the intercooler piping, intercoolers, ECU, both driveshafts, rear transaxle, specialized motor mounts, etc. In other words, it would be more beneficial to do forced induction on your current platform.

^This.
Another thing to consider is that your FX trans will only hold ~425hp when "fully built" by the only place that offers the service (Level10). Bone stock, the GTR motor already exceeds that limit. You'd be much better off selling the FX45 and installing twin turbos on an FX35.

I've been saying for years that Nissan/Infiniti should come out with a limited edition FX, maybe only 100, and just put everything underneath the hood of the GT-R in a FX.
