sr71sss Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 w/o much hassle go with the 200sx se v6, you can use everything except the oil pan as it it a front sump. intake is a better fit w/o much to do unlike the stock 300zx manifold, you probably will need to source the distributor and intake from an early nissan pathfinder with TBI, I think everyone has been using the "saudi" distributor but I'm sure some one on here will chime in to fill in my blanks Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 The tranny tunnel in the goon is to small for the big nissan auto, which also has an extra control modual, aka some extra wiring is involved. Just a few things to think about with the auto trans. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 if you plan on running a carb, you can easily drill and tap four holes in a stock vg30i (early pathfinder) intake to mount a weber carb or you can pay vg30.com 200 bucks to modify the same intake to run a two barrel holley. i would use megajolt jr for the ignition, it's cheaper than putting a saudi dizzy. the saudi dizzy is a drop in installtion however, but good luck finding one. also, if you are planning to use headers and want to make your own, a good place to start is to get a set of mercury villiger (they come stock with the vg30e) exhaust manifolds, they are factory shorty header style exhaust manifolds, and just hack off the pipes and weld your own to make a fully custom fit. i haven't tried this yet, but i dont see why it wouldn't work.

Good tip on the manifolds, might have to try that in the future. Quote Link to comment

Its not like you're hooking up 200 wires. Its more like 7 or 8 wires that actually splice into your goons harness. The rest just attaches to the engine itself and thats just installing connectors to the sensors they belong too. I think its easier to run the EFi simply because of how difficult it is to source the parts mentioned above. g/l with the swap. peace. Quote Link to comment
cgovia Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 what about the fuel pump issues can I use a after market fuel pump? Right now I have a faucet electric pump running my 1600 Quote Link to comment

chumstone Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 here is a photo of the brake pedal and some other parts as well as 300zx manifolds. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 here is a photo of the brake pedal and some other parts as well as 300zx manifolds. are you selling that stuff?? if so id be interested possibly in that brake stuff. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 here is a photo of the brake pedal and some other parts as well as 300zx manifolds. the passenger side exhaust manifold is not from a 300zx, it looks more like from a pathfinder, i can't really tell from the pictures.

cgovia Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 how much for all the mounts motor and tranny? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Does Dave have any VG30 kits on hand? When he has them he cant sell them. Then somebody has one and cant sell them. I say dont waist your time esp if in Hawaii parts are harder to get. Back in the day I seen alot of 510s in Hawaii in the yards rotting away. Just get the car running with what in it.
