Crank is tight/hard to turn. Comes complete carb to oil pan. Uses a vg30e Nissan engine from 84-89 300zx, maxima’s, pathfinders, trucks, quest/villager’s Or a vg33e from xterra’s, frontiers, quest/villager’s Currently has a junkyard vg33e from a 2002 villager installed, will include a good vg33e crank and vg30 block/heads as well.

New Spindles Extra springs Extra 4.11 3rd member (Rear-end) Car is in Richmond VA. Some say the body is ugly, others love it this way. It’s like a mut. The Chassis is solid. Price reflects the ugliness of the body. Uses five star racing bodies if you want to look sweet. Put in a junkyard Nissan V6 and you will have a super fast car for under 3500 bucks. $3000 for the car + around $500 or so for a good engine. The car is as it came off the track when the current engine expired. Edited October 6, 2011 by Guest Quote
laze1 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 What is the wheelbase of this car? What class does it run in NASA? Quote
joeser Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Wheel base 95” to 97” I run it in Sports Racer in the stinger group. Its really up to you and the group you race with. There is no real class for it so SR is a catch all. Another pro 6 car I know of runs in the SCCA in a GT class. FWIW I has raced against a diasio and prevailed on the old setup. The new setup is faster and much more pleasant to drive on. I have learned more about chassis design and setup from this car in the past 2 years than I have over the past 10 years of racing an IT/PT car. Quote
