Holy Christ, they are a third the price of a 2jz-gte or LS1 here. Just searching my local craigslist shows a low km JDM VQ35de for $1000 and a 6spd trans for $500. That's £1061. Sometimes you'll even see a VQ35+6spd+everything out of a wrecked car for decently cheaper than that too.

For half the price some of those UK sellers are asking for VQ35's, down here I can pick up a VK45DD V8 ready to go: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/engines/auction-1063685476.htm

Not that it would fit in an RX-8 anyway, from a quick look around they're even bigger than the 1UZ.

I love that Toyota every now and then almost remembers how to have fun, like the Blade Master:



It's a Corolla hatch with a 206kw 2GR-FE shoved in it. Then they gave it soft suspension and an auto, but still.

Also what do the Japanese care anyway, by the time the plugs need doing they long ago flogged the car to one of us South Pacific suckers.
