which model for an engine

[fastmaxxcooper]

which year of the 300zx and what model had the best quality VG30DET or VG30DETT engine. which one has the most potential and most reliability when maintained? thanks

for the z32 (90-96). the 92-95's are probably the best. the 96's are just as good its just that they lost some horsepower. there is no such thing as a vg30det unless it is custom made.

there IS such a thing as a vg30det, just not in the 300zx. it came in the cedric vehicle which was only sold in japan. anyways, 91-96 should be the best years. the '96 truthfully didn't loose any power, it lost power to emissions but then gained it back by more aggressive cam angles. the peak hp is the same, it is just where the peak hp is found at is different.

well i was referring to the u.s there freak. but either way i didnt know that there was a vg30det produced. i learn something new everyday.

joel grannas's single turbo conv. as a very bad ass machine. i watched all those videos and i wish there were more. i have been admiring his z since day one. just about the convertible that i like.

Im planning on making a Single Turbo version of a Slicktop... When I win the lottery.

Joel is currently developing a Single Plenum... One throttle body, gets rid of EGR Systems, excess vaccum hosing, clumped up EFI Wiring, etc.

I cant wait to see how it comes out.
