I am very lucky as my dad is giving me his Diamante.
I think it has a 6G72(i think thats right).
What i was wondering what modifications can i do it as im not planning to do anything at da mo.
Would the twin turbo engine from a 3000gt/GTO go i there or would it just make it as heavy as the GTO is originally.
If this is not possible are there any turbo kits.

Any help would do aswell as some links to any body kits for my Diamante(its a 98shape) :D

Howd mate, check the Mod Advice page under Tech Info in the nav bar, this will give you something to go by.

The GTO motor will fit but expect it to be an expensive conversion.

The only off the shelp turbo kit is the RPW twin turbo kit which goes for around $12,000 AUD - Check with RPW on this one.

There will soon be much cheaper turbo kits on the market so keep your eyes peeled :D

Welcome to AM mate :D

A 98 shape?

The GTO motor will not fit. Unless you want to waste ridiculous amounts of money on making it fit. It sits the wrong way around in the engine bay. It has the same orientation as the 1st gen Diamante with the dohc 24v 6G72, in fact it is the same motor without turbos.

Your best bet if you're looking turbo's is to talk to RPW about their kit.

... Or if you don't want to spend 10k+, and can wait a little while check this thread ( http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4506&highlight= ) and see if anything interesting crops up.
