Recently acquired a surf, was ment to be a cheap site jeep for work to save me wrecking my personal van as I keep breaking it due to the mud and rough haul roads.
anyway, couple of weeks of driving the surf and I'm on love. I want to keep it as a toy and improve it.
It a gen 2 on a J plate, done 250000 miles and for its age and mileage I was surprised there not to be any rust, and I've done my best to look for it.
It also has big wheels, 2"body lift, snorkel and stainless exhaust. Was bought with a 12 month mot for £1200.
I'm looking into engine swaps, 1jz being the favourite.
however (this is where I'm seeking advice)
i have a skyline and a forged 550bhp rb25 200sx.
I have a spare rb25 with supporting mods to take up to 425bhp.
I am wondering if I should fit this into the surf and if anyone has done it, also gearbox options.
