I seen it installed on a 97 max.
The person who did it still cries how much his maxima sucks.
I do not recommend.

Also if im not mistaken, that tranny is for rear wheel drive. There is a lot of work to be done to make it rear

VG30DETT is going to cost me just as much and it weights bout 200lbs more than the VQ motor. I am planing on using a 4th gen ECU and wire harness to make it all work. I'm still undecided on the engine we are going to use, I am trying to push him into a VH45DE like the one in my Q45... I'm kinda partial to that awesome V8.

so a VQ30DET = less power in our maxima's even the hp ratio is more.

Is a turbo VH45DE in a 300zx possible (fitment)? I've only seen it in a 240z with TT.

Is it possible to bold up our vq30de fwd tranny to a vq30det of a nissan cedric.

Yes our FWD tranny bolts up to the RWD VQs. Its possible to install this in our Maximas, but the motor mounts will be a small challenge.

What's it supposed to say in JDM? I've seen JDM engines with English writings on the covers. (i.e. SR & RB engines)

JDM means Japanese Domestic Market, do you think they have the engine covers in english for cars that are sold in Japan?

I know what JDM means but I don't see the relevance of an engine not being "JDM" if the cover has english markings.

The picture above is of a JDM SR20DET Bluebird engine...I've yet to see an engine cover with non-english markings. "JDM" engine cover markings not found.

Because it is hard for "Nissan", "Skyline", "Pickup", etc. to be written in Japanese. All cars and engines are labeled in English in Japan.

Even the engine naming system for every Japanese Car company uses English/Romantic letters. i.e. VQ30DET, RB26DETT, 2JZ-GTE, B18-C5, 4G63-T

my hole feels the same as it did before posting, no rape here. What i was talking about is where it says turbo. shouldnt that be in Japanese? if not then ok, just seems like the japanese might want to be able to read their engine covers.

This comment seems to be borderline assaulting the Japanese of being illiterate and the rest of the world population who doesn't speak English as their primary language.

It's financially unsound (if that's a word), as a company, to invest more money in engine covers so that a certain population/country can understand words like "turbo" or "intercooler."

in Japan the CIMA F50 (American Q45) 2002-2005+ comes with a VQ30DETT and a VK45DE 4.5Liter V8 option.


get a VK45DE from a Q45 or M45
get a Impul stroker kit from Japan and stroke the engine to 470Hp N/A
Shove it in a 300Zx and see how long those axles will hold up

Impul kit is so expensive that after all said and done you could buy a pristine condition 5.5 gen.

Where do you get the 470ps from ? There is no factory VQ30DETT, only DETs. DETT stands for Dual Overhead cam Electronic fuel injected Twin Turbo.

Impul has a CIMA F50 with a stroker kit on the 4.5 liter and the 470hp was their dyno #.

Sorry for the extra T in the DET for VQ.

300Hp for a maxima on a stock VQ DET is still good power. better then anything bolton the VQ will do N/A.

If someone Did this to a maxima whats their screen name so i can ask a few questions.

Is it possible to bold up our vq30de fwd tranny to a vq30det of a nissan cedric.

Been to Japan. They use a lot of english words in many areas including, but not limited to: Engine covers, anything slightly western, engine covers, McDonalds, engine covers.

Did I mention engine covers?

The VQ30DET uses the same sensors as the VQ30DE except the MAF probably.

The motor mounts, starter, IM, and coolant pipes, etc. are for RWD and will not directly bolt up in FWD car. Tilley took all of the parts off a VQ30DET and put it in a FWD block and put a turbo on it. I don't remember off hand a lot of info on it. I do know the intake Manifold won't fit under the hood. So no this is not a direct swap. The transmission bolt pattern is the same though.

It would be a good swap for a 240SX.

wow, way after the point, and way off the point. i was saying since jdm means its from japan, it should be in japanese which i guess is wrong. since i live in the US, having my engine cover in english makes sense... try reading all of what i wrote before you say stuff like this.

and by the way, the people with this vq30dett mess i think. im pretty sure one person is saying they arent factory (which they arent according to that website) and the other person is saying they exist which is also true. the difference is according to that website they do exist, but they are only used in race cars.

I never said they didn't. They didn't build FACTORY vq30dett's for street legal cars.
