Anyone got a spare VG30DETT they want to get rid of?

 

try b300z. he SAYS he is gonna do something with his, but.......

 

haha, i am its just top secret, thats why i havent told anyone what ive done yet
i dont know if silvr wants to pay shipping to his place anyways

 

I have a friend that has a VG30DE for sale. its got 16 bent valves lol. (timing belt snaped) if U want it. uh,,, we live in cali and willing to ship let me know if intrested.

 

the blocks are different for hte DETT/DE for the oil squirters if I remember right.

 

you remember right.

 

and i thought for how the tranny bolted cuase the TT was made for a larger flywheel and clutch diameter no? or did i yank that one outta my ***? i swear i read that on here though somewhere.

 

Close...the tranny bolts up exactly the same. the bolt pattern dosent change. the difference is the bell housing of the transmission itself.

 

ohhhh.....cool problem....answered. i guess. lol. so do these oil squirters have any proven ability to help the engine though? oh yeah and where do they squirt?

 

Under the pistons.

 

hmm...yeha i could see that as benificial to cylinder lubrication. i wonder why they wouldnt just save manufacturing and production money and leave those standard in all the engines, only thing different should be the compression and the rear end diff's, nissan makes no sense for the other reasons. they must've wasted so much money designing differnt internals in teh engine and transmission housings, and its kinda pointless no?

 

How many stock internal engines have you seen that can handle 500rwhp without major internal work? In the end I do believe the VG30DETT was the best V6 ever produced.

But yes, cost was a major reason for the 300zx to be cancelled in the long run. The new 350z isn't as quite overengineered and the quality difference in the interior and some aspects of the car is quite obvious.

 

check out post #7 in the swap mass merge thread. a little gem that b300z found that i merged in there with na/tt block and car differences.

 

holla

 

Yeah thats prettymuch a copy/paste from Z1's swap writeup in their technical information page... I refer to that alot especially since im currently planning my own conversion which Z1 is going to do the bulk of the work.
