“Did you know that if you own a car you can do whatever you want with it…” is anyone even mad about having such a cool engine in that car? 😂 and also it’s a quite original build, a breath of fresh air from the LS, 2JZ, RB swaps that are common these days. Nothing wrong with those, but it’s nice to see something more original for a change of pace.
Turns out I can't do with my car what I want at all though- there are things I can do- but then I can't legally drive it.. and then there are a lot of things I am not even allowed to do in the first place.. like washing my car in my own driveway... or storing road unworthy cars on my private property...
@@bigcncguy lol I’m guessing some of the ultra purists out of here would be mad, but then again this isn’t the channel for purists. I find it great that they found a great Nissan engine for that car that isn’t the common go to suspects.

@@samthesr20man you must live in Queenstown , because hardly anywhere in good New Zealand does -5 appear during the day, infact most below zero temps are gone by the time the sun rises, but then I live in the sunny bay of plenty lol
Imagine taking a ride you know well. One that topped out at 88HP when new... on a perfect day. Then just drop in 500HP and a really sweet six speed, oh and it doesn't mind 8k ripms. That would be the coolest experience ever.
have watched since you started skid factory watched every vid kept an eye on turbo yoda since he was brought in for turbo expertise on mighty car mods with Marty & moog enjoy alllll your content KEEP IT GOING !!!! :)
This is a breath of fresh air. Wow. I don't know the owner, but was concerned it would cop some boring arse turbo whatever and auto combo that would make the car really uninteresting. But this is perfect. No inbreeding, retains the aspect of being a driver's car, just turns it up beyond 11. What a perfect project.
I give more props to people who do custom work on their own than people who buy parts and slap them on. I love custom stuff. The only purity I care about is the purity of joy you get when you modify your car to suit your own dreams.
At the end of the day … it is just a piece of metal, worth only what someone is willing to pay, and I’d have zero problems cutting into it for a project like this because the results are going to be awesome!
I reckon this will be my favorite Skid Factory project! I love a bit of RestoMod... 🔥🔥🔥 Ps. I nailed the “what car is this?” challenge from a couple of videos back!
Vk56vd has a front sump. Found in Infiniti M56 / Q70 or Nissan Fuga. It's the direct injection twin throttle body version of the Vk56. Love the great content and gorgeous builds. Thank-you
I didn't knew that my car wasn't my car until you mentioned it. You cannot just make the car so much better or even modify it in the way you want... ;)
Being an ex Titan Owner, I will say the VK sounds amazing, and in the Titan Trucks here in the USA they haul ass stock. So imagine in this small car?? Very underrated engine, the Titan Truck as a whole is very underrated here in the USA. This is going to be an epic build. 👍😎
Epic build guys... very much enjoy the content! Al - "Buy Merch" - just received my Gerfingerpoken merch stateside. Thanks guys! Their merch guys have this figured out for FAST US shipping via Australia Post... and AP provides email updates! Great job!
Kiwi from Sunny Dunedin here. Had no idea Nick had a YT channel lol. Thanks for the heads up. Actually discovered The Lab through your NZ tour as well, and I've watchd everything Glenn has uploaded since.
I bought that Allied Performance projects cap, I really like it. A tip if anyone is struggling with sweat stains on caps (we've all been there 😅) use Sard soap and some kind of scrubber to agitate it with water as well obviously. Then rinse it off. It will remove sweat stains.
I love love love this project. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure there are a bunch of 'purists' that are annoyed at the choice of motor. Not me. It's not like it's a GTR. It's been kept pure in terms of the brand so that should soften the purists' annoyance factor a little at least. I will say that, whilst I was purchasing pistons anyway, I definitely would have upd the compression, if that was even possible. I'm sure 12.5:1 is still BP ultimate friendly but even 11.5:1 would have increased the torque. Still, apart from that tiny annoyance, perfect !!!
That engine is huge...Reminds me of the VH. 90° V8 with fat dohc heads. Looks like it'll be fun trying to fit some air filtering device without going full hilbilly spec bonnet. What a machine!
Swaps I have done all been simple, also many years ago, less rules. XP Falicon with a Windsor 260 V8, Series 1 Escort with a 2 litre twin cam, HK Holden with 265 Hemi Charger, still have motor, currently a simple SBC 350 , ex Corvette in 81 Jeep Wagoneer, was thinking Nissan VQ30DE for the HK, yeah sounds shit but will be a quiet car done for long trips, cheers , good vids

nice scale bro, ill never give it up
Lol!
Engine is lighter, The weight is in the 6 speed.
I chose wrong.
Better make sure they're calibrated - never gonna tell a lie...
On tonight's episode: The prettiest engine the boys have installed, and Woody loses a bet with his barber.
Can't help from reading this in Clarkson's voice
TONIGHT:
Pretty much what I thought
I never realised he was that way inclined! How long until he gets a rainbow flag tattoo! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And i will get the funk out

I fully expected to see an RB or a JZ go into it, to see such a unique pairing and still all from the same stable, who could hate this?
Someone is definitely mad
As a vh45de lover I always wanted the vk as the next step. Just a Nissan head with the oem plus vibes.
Turns out I can't do with my car what I want at all though- there are things I can do- but then I can't legally drive it.. and then there are a lot of things I am not even allowed to do in the first place.. like washing my car in my own driveway... or storing road unworthy cars on my private property...

12:26 lol Woody nailed the Jordies outro cameo
Never change Al. You're a god damn treasure.
Woody’s gone super saiyan for this one must be a big build.
Haha. Thought I was the only one who thought so🤣
8ball Z
Once its running he will have a full Mohawk
This thing is going to sound absolutely angelic at full bore with a good set of pipes on it.
Hartley's mentioned an 8-1 exhaust
Angelic is not exactly the word I was thinking of... But good none the less! :P
@@andersjjensen Then you listening to the wrong angels.
How good was the test? I replayed it a couple of times and I'm thinking about making a ring tone out of it.
Hope it's just my fone didn't sound like it was singing too me😬 sounded like a renault-nissan not a nissan nissan 😔

i'm from the old continent so forgive the ignorance please, but how cold does it get down there in NZ? love you guys btw
@@dnltbrca - 5 Celsius on a normal winter's day
@@samthesr20man that's a warm day in W. EU. well it used to be, but it will come back, it always does.

V8 is cool and all that, but man if it was a flat plane screamer aswell! :D
88.8hp..... don't forget the .8 that's where the party starts
600hp*
It's nice seeing a V8 swap that isn't an LS. I've never heard of this engine before and it's exciting to see something original.
It's something different, that you don't normally see over and over again. Love the build.
I live in canada. These are everywhere in vans, trucks, 4x4s and large sedans. Three of my friends have them.
@@geepuller1 they are everywhere in stock form yes, but not a typical swap engine.
@@user-180-mand90 hopefully that changes over time , here in the states . Just a magnificent engine . I own one bare bone stock . Oh the temptations
Dear god that sound! Thankfully that awesomeness made up for being subjected to Woody's haircut...
Same concept but in a s30z. Huge Nissan lover and all Nissan v8 are underrated
That's so pretty it's almost criminal hiding it in an engine bay..
have watched since you started skid factory watched every vid kept an eye on turbo yoda since he was brought in for
turbo expertise on mighty car mods with Marty & moog enjoy alllll your content KEEP IT GOING !!!! :)
Best inappropriate use of a jack stand I have seen in a long, long time!
Since they're doing it it's now classified as a completely appropriate use of a jack stand! :P
Industry standard.
There’s a lot of dollarydoos behind this build!
This makes me so happy that it's not just another fucking LS swap
This is a breath of fresh air. Wow.
I don't know the owner, but was concerned it would cop some boring arse turbo whatever and auto combo that would make the car really uninteresting.

Also, in the states we have the VK56VE with the higher 11:1 compression. Would love to see that with itbs.
22:38 with Woody burning Al's lack of facial expressions is top shelf.
12:27 cheeky FriendlyJordies reference
I absolutely love it when old classics get a new life when they are revamped with newer technology
That perfect classic car!
You're going to make it so fast. Balls to the wall Boys!
Bloody awesome! The Hulkosuka is going to be mental.
Too right Al
Your car you do what you want to it !
Love the video mate
At the end of the day … it is just a piece of metal, worth only what someone is willing to pay, and I’d have zero problems cutting into it for a project like this because the results are going to be awesome!
Al is The Man of Many Expressions
Amazing engine build by Nelson. Look forward to seeing this in action!
I reckon this will be my favorite Skid Factory project! I love a bit of RestoMod... 🔥🔥🔥

2010 we got the vk56. But we did get the vk56de, then it eventually upgraded to the vk56vd.
CR variations normally from 10:1, upto 11.5:1 too.

September must be pride month 👌🏻 good to see you are fully supporting it woody 🤣👌🏻
TR6060 is 66kgs and one bloody chunky box !!
12:24 nice little Friendlyjordies reference
Vintage car, modern muscle... gotta love it
Wicked editing skills Woody. Loved the stereo cross over during the montage and the engine noise during the credits. Nice one bro!

It's inconceivable that I'm only the 133rd person to like this. Love the sizing up vids. Ground work is key.
this is going to be a riot to drive! so refreshing to see a V8 that isnt a LS, bravo!
10:05 That crane lowering mixed into the music sublimely...
Al and Woody are bloody good Kiwis.
Can’t wait to hear it run I think this is an awesome swap. It’s good to steer away from the norm and do something different.
That engine is a real piece of art. Or Jewelry.
It’s going to bend that GTx like a pretzel.
Nahhhh it won't
I like your attitude! Glad to see YOU are doing what you think best.
This is quickly becoming my favourite project on your channel. The next video won’t come soon enough for me.
I spy a ford boss motor in the background haha love the content guys keep up the good work 🙂
that horse power in that car. pretty ridiculous in this car. under statement of the century.So cool been waiting for a series like this. VERY COOL.
Dude I'm loving this build, the Hako is one of my dream cars and I've always wondered what if it had a V8. Thank you guys for building this
I love that they're using his son's music on this channel now.
Some drift guys in the states have been using these VK56 engines for the last few years… my goodness they sound unreal on the pipe!
Met Nelson a couple of years ago at Porsche festival, pretty neat to see this all working well
I hope you guys can do another road trip like you did in NZ. I enjoyed it and gained a couple more channels to watch.
Soooo keen! Nice work so far. So much planning would have already gone into this and there is probably a tonne more to go.
Lastly the redheaded stepchild. The VK50VE
Having a TR6060 (which are also in fg falcons btw) in our ED falcon i can tell you they're heavy AF best part of 60kg with everything
That's so sick, cannot wait to see and hear this thing go!
This swap is cool as, and heaps better to see something other than an LS swap
Beater?
That engine is huge...Reminds me of the VH. 90° V8 with fat dohc heads. Looks like it'll be fun trying to fit some air filtering device without going full hilbilly spec bonnet. What a machine!
super cool project you guys got here. cant wait to see more..
For anyone who is curious, Yes the engine builder is ex F1 Driver Brendon Hartleys brother.
I drove a Titan with this motor in it back in the day and it felt gutless.
This motor is amazing! Just wow
As a VK56DE owner (2005 Armada) I love this build the most. She's gonna rip.
i own a car. its like al was talking directly to me. its going to be a good month
Don't be putting your balls in the shiny new intake.
Love the show been following the builds since the stagea.
Swaps I have done all been simple, also many years ago, less rules. XP Falicon with a Windsor 260 V8, Series 1 Escort with a 2 litre twin cam, HK Holden with 265 Hemi Charger, still have motor, currently a simple SBC 350 , ex Corvette in 81 Jeep Wagoneer, was thinking Nissan VQ30DE for the HK, yeah sounds shit but will be a quiet car done for long trips, cheers , good vids
What a beautiful motor. Maybe the Kelly Supercar team has a dry sump from their old V8 nissan supercar
Nelson's race engines use a Dry sump, Were hoping to use a wet sump though.
8 pipes into one collector sounds insanely good, look it up.
I think I just fell in love, this car is epic.
If this was 1987, with hair like that, I would say that Woody is heading to the Hacienda in Fortitude Valley!
So Nice Build, Unexpected Engine inside this Beauty.
Continue like that guys, it's making smile early in the morning.
Do we get a sweet heart for guessing VK56/TR6060 weeks ago? 🤣
loved big al's devilish grin with that grinder xD
Such a cool build, can’t wait to hear it with those TBs wide open👌🏻
Five... Hundred... Seventy... Horsepower.
Wow this car is going to be mind blowing.
I'm betting the VK engine is almost the same exact weight.
Oh snap made it to the end I'm proud of me, hahaha.
im doing this exact swap into a datto right now, this is gold.
Great project, That really is a crazily powerful thing to put in such a light car 😀. Interesting to see what you’re going to do to reinforce the body!
I love those US titan V8's. Tons of torque, great sound, and not an LS.
Really surprised people don't do more with them. Solid even in stock form.
cant wait to hear this running, going to sound mint
Yeah the Hako is cool n'all, but the hoist motor is running at the same key as the music. Was a pleasure to listen to 😁
Woody laughing at his own hairstyle was so wholesome
That engine bay now!!! Looks so good
That thing needs a TT Industries 6 speed sequential gearbox
OMG! 😲 Can't wait to hear that sing!!!
Next level👍 And I won’t tell anybody that the Bedford made 1112hp😉 and the Hartley special weighs 181.6kg with the starter 😮.
I admire what you are doing to the car with the engine swap. I could watch you do any jobs guys keep up the great content
Would the real Slim Woody please stand up? Looking forward to rest of this build series, it's gonna be epic.
What a sweet conversion this thing is gunna be wild
This thing is going to fly and sound so nice
Another nice, light weight DOHC V8.
