BAM! theirs probably $2k dollars right there, if you do it yourself, along with the $7k car.

So show me, you say its been done, blah blah blah, show me, I dont wanna see some POS dyno queen either. Theirs more then just making the power with these cars, especially when your looking at a two engines, that can be built to the same level, but one costing considerably less.

If nissan engineered the engine properly, We wouldnt have to pull the engines to replace the turbo's, If they engineered it properly, it wouldnt be built on 1980's technology and apparently reliability. If nissan put any thought into that motor, they would have left it as a concept.

LMFAO. Please try to put a VH45 into a Z32 for $1500. It won't happen.

q45's can be bought down here for around $5-900 with reasonably low miles, sell the car afterwards make a majority if not all of it back. adapter plate is around $300, assume about $50 for raw metal for mounts, assume you already have the trans, then $3-400 for the clutch setup.

I bought each of my TT's for $5k. Neither of them needed turbo work, timing belt work, injectors, etc. Each had about 125k miles.

then the market must be different between socal and chicago.

Also tell me how a VH45 swapped Z32TT would be any different than a regular Z32TT regarding HICAS? And if you're talking VH45 swapped NA vs natural TT, I'd also like to point out that, in 8 years in the Z32 world (and I'm going to say it, working at Ultimate Z), I've seen a whopping 2 broken HICAS systems. The people who eliminate it do it by personal choice, not to fix it... it's usually not broken.

I never said I was going to swap it into a z31TT chassis, also broken is different then worn out, sloppy tie rods, leaking lines, or because it would be one less thing to worry about.



Ooooohhh... 450rwhp. The stock VG30DETT can do it all day long. Stock VG30DETT's have done over 700rwhp. You're not going to sell this motor on power capability... compared to the VG30DETT, it doesn't make any worth bragging about.

you missed where i said the stock fuel system as well. the limits of the VH havent been tested in the US yet, but people in australia and NZ have been using these as race motors, pretty much since they came out to give an idea. (but i take it you have never researched this motor)

Go read my last post. Greg Dupree daily drives his 9-second TT. Dr. Dean Delvy daily drives his 10.6 second TT. Sebastian (not sure of his last name, but he works at Specialty Z) also daily drives a 10-second TT. There are many people with reliable, big-horsepower TTs.

how reliable is reliable in your eyes? I meant something that all i would have to do is change the oil and put gas in it and drive it around the country type reliable.


Funny, because I don't recall you ever being useful on this site.

And i dont recall you doing anything other then spouting "the VG is the best **** the rest!"


I've probably experienced more and achieved more in my life to date than you will in your entire lifespan. But that's irrelevant.

I kinda doubt that, working at a shop and going to college doesnt really hit that big in the life experience department, but if you joined the army or something that would be different.


Is this SERIOUSLY an argument? Are you kidding me? This was the sole comment that made me decide you respond to your retarded tirade. Because there has never been a good engine that was discontinued? The old 350's and 351's from the 60's and 70's were never good engines? The 2JZGTE wasn't a good engine? Ron White said it best... "next time you have a thought... let it go."

the 350 is still manufactured to this day, thats close to 50 years of (a successful) run time, Dont know/care much about fords. And from what I have seen the 2jz's have head gasket issues and i still lol to this day at the 1200WHP 11 second supra.


People who have broken Z32s are the same people who bought cheap Z32s that weren't well maintained. And it's ok, because not all of us can afford what good condition TTs sell for. If you pay the proper price for a good condition TT, they don't break down all that often. Ask people like Bernie Bilski or my friends Ryan, Andy, or Gary, all who have immaculate modded TTs that are almost always running. Any car that isn't well maintained will break. Your argument is completely and utterly null. And as for the difficulty of working on it... that is a bullshit statements just like the rest. The car was designed to compete with Porsches... go look into what it takes to repair some of the things on those cars. Same with any car laced with the technology that the Z32 has.

the problem with a properly maintained TT is that they are fairly far in between and are usually in upwards of $6k of course a well maintained car is going to be reliable, but I have seen alot of well maintained z32's have serious issues down the road (almost always injectors and coil packs) I still will never agree, pulling a plenum to change the injectors and the absolute bullshit dealt with when changing a timing belt is just rediculous. If i had the money for a porsche, then i could obviously afford someone to work on it.

You argue poorly, to say the least. Think before you speak... and read my signature. Let it sink in.

2+2 N/A With Auto to a TT with Auto then to a TT with a 5 speed. And Im stuck with fixing all the ****ups this Z has had in its poorly done N/A to TT swap and installing a 5 Speed.
