spdcrazy Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 hey guys, long story short, i love my 300zxtt. and when my fiance told me she wanted a 280z i couldn't resist, so now we have a 77 280z as well. the feel and look of the 280z is amazing! so i have been thinking of something new for my vg30dett when its finished. thoughts? 510 wagon sits highly on my list. as does an old skyline but i think they would be hard to find. any other ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment

The horde demands OICS!!!!!! That VG30 would go nicely in the 280Z; but I wouldn't let a girl drive it after that. Girls can't drive. And if they can, they're not really girls; they're something more awesome. They're women who've had an appropriate upbringing. *OICS: also known as PICS. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 VG30DETT into a goon? Only 2 or 3 ways to get it right and an infinite number of ways to fuck it up. S30 Quote Link to comment

Dirk Diggler Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 You guys are dicks. That's why I like you :fu: Why not keep the vg in the 300 and stroke the 280 to a 3.1 or turbo it? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Forget 510 anything and the skyline you already have a sheel to put it into. Swap the '77 motor and tranny into the 300zx and put the VG30DETT into the '77. Give the 300zx to g/f. Done. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Put it in a 320. Blow everyone's minds. Quote Link to comment
spdcrazy Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 interesting responses. sorry for the mis spell. i obviously meant shell. the vg would be good in my 300zx of course, but i like being unqiue, hence the imagination. why do some of you say no to a 510, i know its a tight fight, but it has also been done as far as my searching has shown me. the fiance is actually a pretty good driver! haha, but if she stays interested in the 280z when its closer to being done, it will be just a mild street car. dont have much for pics of the vg since its in pieces in my closet, nor do i have much good to show of the 280z as i'm still working on bushings and suspension stuff to make it reliable.

Is this a spare VG? Don't pull it from a perfectly good Z to transplant it. What is going to happen is you will end up with two broke ass cars in your lawn. If it's a spare, put it where ever you want. Make sure you've got plenty of ammo for the cash cannon though. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 stick it in this where it was supposed to go. http://www.conceptnissan.com/1980/1987_mid-4-4.jpg Quote Link to comment
Gary Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 you're right its been done a couple times, both SOHC and DOHC TT VG's into a 510 it does fit, trans tunnel needs widening but other than that the firewall doesnt need to be recessed. pretty sure strut towers need work its a serious conversion though, lots of welding and a bit of chopping. "different" wont be enough of a reason to pull you through it i reckon - thats just my arrogant assumption though :D Z32's themselves arent overly common, quick ones even less so. everyone in that kinda crowd goes for other nissans or toyota for fast, their 6's are a lot easier to work with if i had a z32 id try make it into something that made people wonder why there arent more 300zx's driving about :D low, very subtle body mods, clean, some large wheels with spot-on fitment, built engine and some more fast. i dunno if making it single turbo would be practical but if it is id go with something like that to try tidy the enginebay up cos its cluttered as from factory. maybe a nice shiny new intake manifold to replace the stock pair, and a slight bonnet hump to clear it all sounds like work but when you think about converting it into a 510, its probably less work and the result will be killer :) 1 Quote Link to comment

spdcrazy Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 and no my vg isn't in my 300zx. hasn't been for a long while. this engine build is taking much longer than i expected, still need to get the crank knife edged. and do more research on cryo treating, and such.

Gary Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 its cool many of the ones over here have headgasket problems :( specially when theyre boosted up a bit so you hardly ever see any with work in em for fear of having to do anything to the engine, labour cost is ridiculous cos of their enginebay as im sure youd know :D itd go pretty good in the 280, that'd be far easier to do a conversion to. the width might be tricky if its a TT but shouldnt be too hard to deal with in the zed. you'd have plenty space up front too for cool stuff like V mount i/c and radiator or if youve got fitment problems you could go single and put the turbo up in front of the engine with some nice manifolds to suit Quote Link to comment
