-------------------------------
g'day ppl
i reken u should stick to the VG there is lots and lots of tuning potential in the engine, it is 1 of the most unnderrated engines out there due to the RB series success with the Rb26dett, The Rb26 has cast a shadow over every other engine that has or even will come out of Japan.

VG is a very good, strong engine with heeps of potential, throw some money into a vg30dett and ull b right mate.

iv seen some nasty figures produced by a Vg, enough Hp to make the toughest HSV run and hid under the carpet.
(k HSV is ozzy but think pontiac GTO)

its a top engine and plus ull b all Z then

First off...Kyle from SGP Racing...and you see why I like SGP.

From Z31.com's "1/4 mile times" section...

Danny 88ss 11.47 @ 123

Adam88ss 88ss 11.75 @ 125

And those are VG30ET's. There are a bunch more cars on there that are deep into the 12s. I'm shooting for 11s or 12s eventually in my 86T.

And finally...



Your bud in the tubed-n-stripped Z running 11s either wasn't trying or needs to hit the drawing boards cuz he aint cuttin it. Zs definately aren't drag cars, but, past a certain point, a fast car is a fast car...and Zs can be extremely fast cars.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

that z31 is nuts. full interior, that is even more nuts. i see the powertrain as a big part of the car, big part, it is what makes the car go. but that might just be me.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

if people are built Z for power i think corvette engine fit good with alot space in Z32 . v6 twin turbo is fun , but imagine V8 Twin turbo . stock Vette run 3.9 second Z will run 3.7 or 3.8 second

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

Did that seem a bit... Incoherent to anyone else?

Sorry dude, but I think what your saying is a Vette engine in a Zed?

... Ok I guess. Figure out how to fit it, and props to you.

I was thinking a CA18DET. Yes it would be dropping liter size almost 1.2liters. But hey, no one else would have a CA power Zed in the states right?

Of course it would have to be tickled up a bit, just to get the thing to drive ok.

Waste of money in other words...

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

actually samhain, there was a z with a ls1 engine in it on ebay. the engine bay looked a lot less crowded with the v-8 in there, even though it is bigger.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

Like I said... Props to you if you figured it out.

I didnt say it wasnt possible. I said it wouldnt be easy.

My buddy wanted to drop a 350 into my first Zed when the engine was out... But we couldnt get it to mount up right without SERIOUS modifications. So anyone who can do it, PROPS.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

Its not V35 GTR... It's just Skyline.

Or are you talking about the new "R35 GTR"?
Rumors have stated USDM it will hold a VH45DE. And JDM will have claim to a VQ30DETT.

RB in a Zed... My choice.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

i saw two z with Vette engine already , so i have to said it was easy than swap N/A to TT . Vette Engine are less wires harmness and not taking space. i have done a timing chain on 240SX , the electric wires i have to said it harder compare to honda and camry. Nissan cars built electric wires too much . 300zx engine built poorly too many wires and hose easy to break if you mechanic you know what i'm taking about. Place i work have done quite a few 300zx engine change. i would want to trade my prelude for 90 Z32 2+2 then swap TT . but my machanic say if i bought a Z he will take vacation . That mean i have to do swap myself , no no that not going to happen . i Have heard from other mechanic say that 350Z engine is better than 300zx , the wire harmness and hose .
i haven't working on one yet, i would like to . i'm a fan of z32 i will get one someday .

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

... I think I read something about a 300ZedX here... But im not sure?

Haha, just messing with you dude.

VG's are very difficult to work on. Thats why its better if your engine ever has a problem... Just swap it out! Rebuilt, or Reconditioned VG's never last long.

I believe they changed the designation, they're calling it V35 instead of R35, do a google/yahoo, you'll see.



As you can see, it has Skylines taillights trademark.

Re: Poll: The Ultimate Engine Swap!

That is a conceptual Skyline.

All of these R35 Skylines your seeing online are computer generated designs.

They are utilizing programs such as Maya, FormZRadioZity, Cinema4D, etc.

I know all of these programs well, and I have designed my own version of the R35.
I personally like mine the best... But o well.
