Is it theoractically If i possible should one day lup a VQ35DE up from the 23DE is it legal?I've heard engine swap can only be of the same engine cc, otherwise would be a engine mod, aka impound. I saw someone mention on mcf about a Mazda 3 lup from 1.6l to a 2l engine.Because im not sourcing the VQ35DE from Fairlady 350z but from the 350JM. Since the J31 has three engine lineups QR20DEVQ35DE,VQ23DE and the 230JM chassis is the same as 350JM Do i just have to pay more road tax +etc or a outright ban? Quite skeptical of this as i really wish to improve performance of the 230JM as like what Ryosuke Takahashi said, every engine has its limit.No matter how far you tune it it will one day reach its end of lifespan. It would also lead to greater performance gain I do not wish for anyone to look down on me and say si ginna why are you building castles in the air as i really will be forgoing poly for ITE because ITE only has Automotive engineering course that allows me to get more hands on approach on tuning and maintaining cars.and even sacrificing my lunch money to buy car magzines to learn .In every possible fyi my lunch money is only $6 for a 16yr old kid.If i am deemed to be a keyboard warrior by the old birds, please do not forget that i have given my utmost consideration to performance-fuel loss and legal binding laws.I do not wish to circumvent and cheat laws, and will duly pay up any road tax evaded by any form of engine cc gain and maintenance.What my passion is is to tune cars. Constructive comments will be highly appreciated Once again, i wish to all MCFers, a very happy new year 2009 and all the best.

Toyota is planning to make their hybrid cars cheaper and increase production due to growing demands for it over gasoline cars...that means...we can decrease our reliance/demand on petrol... finally a way to hit back at our oil cartels! http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/14/automobiles/14toyota.html
