Trev, Everyone always goes on about the lexus 4l v8 but the nissan v8's 4l and 4.5 are basically the same and by what your saying obviously have the go to match. I've always thought a 4.5 litre nissan v8 would be good in a 260z with the factory auto, theres something about keeping the engine in the family (nissan), zoom put a toyota six in and I don't like that very much ;( anyway guess it's personal. The micra's are a good little revvy car i think auto's are different are weird as well 1 gear and everything.
