uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 wsup guys! names Chester from LosAngeles. i just got my first 620 yesterday at an auction for $200 =] came with a new tiny carb and new mastercylinder. Im not really sure how much mileage is in it, btw its clean title. I think it was orange before coz when i popped the hood the engine bay is orange. Goals for now: -lower the truck -switch to discbrakes -get wider rims and stretch tires Question: is it possible to swap in a VG30ET coz i got an 84 z31T sitting at home. THANKS!!! enjoy the pics!

dat521kid Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) welcome, those last 2 pics look great the vg will fit but you have to remember its heavier than an L series motor, so i'd say upgrade suspension :D Edited June 19, 2009 by dat521kid Quote Link to comment

uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 VG30ET perfectly fits?? it might be heavier but more power right? unless i could do something with the L20b to make it go faster. Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 if they fit in 510's they fit in 620's for sure but youre gonna have to modify and fab things, yeah it will give you lots of torque over the L20 but also are you gonna have it efi or carbbed? Quote Link to comment
uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 hmm interesting. ill just have someone do it for me. ill have the efi but at the same time im a fan of twin webbers. i just need more torque i guess. kinna got addicted to it. haha Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 The VG30E would probably fit fine, the VG30ET would really cramp the engine bay. With the 510, having to plumb in all the turbo exhaust and intercooler piping takes up a LOT of the engine bay space. I have a buddy doing one now, and he can't even get to some of the exhaust manifold bolts because of all the crap in the way. The NA VG30 would have plenty of torque. Quote Link to comment
uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 has anyone done this swap already? Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 awesome lookin truck... here's what you do... if you're gonna have somebody else do it then take the 300z... get stock manifolds off a non turbo vg30 tell the guy you want the vg under the hood with the non turbo manifolds, the turbos just inside the bed inside a truck box like this. and then you get a twin turbo truck.... a clean install under the hood and rediculous torque for that light ass truck... not to mention... you could upgrade the turbos and have something like this (i couldnt find the link i wanted. a drag car with two turbos in the trunk so massive they took up the entire trunk basically, think it was a fox body coupe.). be a super bad ass setup. you'd def need to upgrade to that disc brake setup and prolly wanna get some fatter meat on the rear... i realize this is redic. expensive, but i would do it if i had the money or fab skills. :D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Nice $200 620 :D I say if its running leave it as is & drive it for the summer. Take time to research options too. Beebani,Mklotz & Fineline all make/sell disc brake conversion brackets here. Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 clean lookin truck, not a bad score for 200.00 dollars, by looking at it i would say it is a 74 or older, the side vents on the cab give that away, i agree with pac, drive her and do alot of research, the vg will fit, i have helped put one into a five ten, so i know it should work in the 620 cause u have more engine compartment room, and welcome to your new home away from home, and always make sure to ck the faq's first, then ask questions, we have a fairly large library of info here and alot of very knowledgable people here also, and they r always willing to help out:) tom Quote Link to comment

Beebani,Mklotz & Fineline all make/sell disc brake conversion brackets here. yea its running. but not so good. it may need a tune up. best would be a rebuild but i have a z31T sitting in my garage and i wanna make a use of it.

uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 dat620 yea pretty good for a $200 truck =] finally, something i could whenever i go to the junkyard.. its just hard to fit bumpers and everything else inside my z31. its a 78 tho. so far i found alot of infos here. thanks to all.

yellowdatsun Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Nah, no pics of his swap, but it is cramped, bad. Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 i do not want to burst your bubble , but most cabs past the year of 74 do not have vents in the cab pillars, if u do not have front disc brakes, and u have cab vents, the truck is a 74 or older, if u have front disc brakes, and it has vents in cab, then some one switched the cab, thats just the straight truth, all trucks after 74 had no cab pillar vents , i used to live in san diego, and i would see a lot of 620's that had the vin plates changed and registered as newer models and or older models, that is why i stated what i did. if in doubt ck the rt frame rail just below the the altenator, on top between the oil filter and altenator, the vin number is stamped there also, if u can not find it, ck to see if it is ground off or covered over, that is also an old switch trick, just trying to help out a fellow datsun peep with the knowledge i have so u won't be trying to get stuff for the wrong type front end brakes, etc...and also later on for future registration purposes, if a wise a$$ dmv person knows the frame rail vin trick, even thou u bought it at auction, u r still responsible for your vin regitration in cali..:) just some fyi Quote Link to comment
73dat Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 x2,with dat620........:cool: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Its got front fender emblems for a 73 model year, and it has the early core support too. Definently not a 78. Quote Link to comment
uhhitsfuzzy Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 oh ok. i guess someone changed the year in the pinkslip and registration. thanks for the info. so this would be a 73? Quote Link to comment
