Well hello again!
For those of you who don't know, it looks like I'm stuck back in the UK for the next few months waiting for this global pandemic to resolve itself
Needing something to keep myself busy I'm planning on stripping down the L28 N42 - F54 combo that I have sat in the garage and doing a ground up rebuild ready to drop into my 240z.
Now I have no experience whatsoever in building an engine but you've got to start somewhere so I really need all the help and advice you can offer. I've read dozens of threads but lots still goes over my head right now.
I want to build my ideal fast road engine for the car as its the only area now lacking. It won't be the most powerful engine out there but the idea is that the car remains very usable while being more than capable of overtaking when required etc.
Most importantly I want to set out my goals for the engine:
Bolt on mods that I already have and intend to use:
What kind of budget do you think I need to be looking at? I'm not looking to spend the earth but appreciate the investment in quality parts for the long run.
You are all the voices of experience, I'm here to listen, try not to make mistakes and ask lots of questions...

Most importantly I want to set out my goals for the engine:
- 200bhp at the flywheel (rather slightly over than under)
- High revving engine, it needs to safely be able to rev to 7k rpm consistently (Not looking for a debate over torque being preferential for a road car, its my preference and driving style)
- Remain street-able
- Reliability
Bolt on mods that I already have and intend to use:
- Ztheraphy Carbs
- Zstory Racesport Manifold
- OS Given Lightweight Flywheel (4.7kg)
- Electronic ignition
- Cold Air Induction box
- Mishimoto rad, electric spal fans etc
