Billy From St. Petersburg FL 240sx LQ4 swap Hey,
My names Billy, I'm 29 and I'm a drifter from Florida. I have a 1992 Nissan 240sx with a SR20DET 4 cylinder turbo (330whp). I've been drifting for about 9 years and It's time to step my game up to play with the big boys. I pulled a LQ4 from a 2002 GMC Yukon Denali and the plan is to swap it into my drift car. I will be putting it together and getting it in the car initially as a budget build using f-body accessories and c6 vette exhaust manifolds as they clear the steering shaft. If anyone has any helpful input or anything they can donate to the cause, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking in!
PS, Here's a pick of me (Black car) and my bud about to trade paint

Welcome. Check out the "Conversions & Hybrids" section. That could prove helpful to you. I don't know if there are any 240SX builds there, but you could start a thread about yours.

Welcome from California
I'll be damned, they went and made a sport and called it "Drifting" we use to do this drifting thing back in the late 60s early 70s except we called it sliding and we achieved it by having bald tires on our cars since we couldn't afford tires that actually had tread on them. You haven't lived until you've seen a 1959 Chevy Belair 4 Door with a 348 and a 3 speed sliding (Drifting as the call it) around orange cones (that we borrowed from local street construction projects) in the back of Von's Supermarket parking lot at three in the morning. As long as you kept the rpm's up the tires kept on burning.
Be safe but always have a good time.

It was inevitable that I'd make my dad proud and drop an American V8 in my racecar. He would always tell me about the good ol days and his hotrods. Crazy technology even back then like his 350 with a roller bearing crankshaft that would turn 12,000+ RPM! Ed Garlits (Don Garlits's brother) custom made it for him. Then he stopped making them because they would have a tendency to explode lol.
