well i pulled out a spark plug on my VG30E and it was burnt and had oil on it. I was told it could be internal, the rings on the piston is shot or my valvues aren't working right. either way something is wrong with the engine. The loan it is on is so corrupted and screwed that i can't just sell it so i was wondering if the VG30DE engine out of like a 92 - 94 SE or 95 - 99 engine would fit cleanly with my engine mounts and auto transmission?

any suggestions or advice?

The VE30De is not a clean swap->

but another Vg30 is.

It wouldn't be worth it. If I were you I would swap in the VG30E-T instead of a VE30DE.

VG30E-T is the single turbo out of a 300zx right?
would the VG30DETT fit with twin turbo's?
and if not would the VG30E-T bolt right up with what i got now?
without having to modify the whole engine bay or transmission?

Yes. Z31(84-89 300zx).

would the VG30DETT fit with twin turbo's?

Not without some major surgery. The VG30DETT is absolutely MASSIVE! If you've ever seen one out of an engine bay(like me) you know there is no way in hell it will fit without making body mods. Not to mention the turboes/intercoolers.

and if not would the VG30E-T bolt right up with what i got now?

Engine bay, no. Transmission, no. Mounts and some other stuff, yes.

you have a website or something for that?
i'm worried bout the cost and transmissions and stuff, i found a VG30ET for $595. If i don't have to buy a new transmission it's not going to dig into my pocket to much. Damn i want to do it.
hmmmmmmm
sorry for askin so much, i know it's annoying but now the wheels in my head are a cranking away and i'm pumped.
haha
if you got a site on how that was done i'll do it soon.
like in a month or so. that's if not having to buy new tranny.

1988 Turbo 205hp@5200....227tq@3600....top speed 137mph....0-60 7.4seconds......Quarter Mile 15.4@92mph...
The VG30ET can do better than that can't it?
that's what the VG30E maxima's come pretty close to running.
their #'s wrong?
