well ill reply...heheh

anyways, i think that 3rd gen guy is using the 3Z single turbo from the older Z31 300ZX's. the twinturbo would be way different and super hard with lots and lots of custom fab stuff. The 3rd gen guy has posted on here with pics also.

The 300ZX TT has the same BLOCK as the 92-94 SE maxima's. I don't think a 4th gen swap would be possible with a realistic budget. Even getting it into a 92-94 SE would not be fun, were you gonna put the intercoolers and stuff, PLUS it's RWD and we are FWD!!!!!!

I have a hydraulic ground compacter, it might work. Now what about the RWD thing. OR you could just buy one like me.

drive backwards?

Yes, that's it, look at the engineering skills between us. Maybe you could rig some ropes and have handle bars to turn and flip the seat on it's mounts.

as long as it goes FAST i don't care, I've said it before and i'll say it again. I'll drive a board on wheels that run's 10's in the 1/4.

- My friend got to drive a 3rd gen with a 300ZX TT motor. He said that it was, "f-ing fast."
- Apparently, the kid who owned the car had waterlogged his original engine or thrown a rod or something catastrophic, so he had the 300ZX motor swapped in. It seems like it just fit right on in from what he gathered. Talk about a sleeper!

put the driveshaft???? thats no weekend job either on the front end body work, the z32 engine is huge compared to the VGs in 3rd gen Maimxas.....

The_quorum

I think you'd have an easier time getting that engine into a J-30. That was RWD at least.

guido_sst

The J30 used the same VG30DE engine as the normally aspirated 300ZXs, though swapping in a VG30DETT isn't really an option due to limited space in the engine compartment. I have heard of a few J30s with a VG30ET swap from the previous generation Zs however.

vmok

I thought the 89-91 Max GXE and SE used the SOHC VG, while the J30 used a DOHC VG, and the 300ZX na used a DOHC VG with variable cam timing, and the 300ZX TT used a DOHC VG TT with variable cam timing up till like 94 or 95 where it lost the variable cam timing, hence the 20hp drop in the 95/96 model twin turbo Z's. I also thought the 92-94 Max SE used a DOHC VE engine, similar to the VG, but not quite...?

If you want the TT engine why not just buy the entire car? The 300ZX TT is an amazing auto.

auto??? did i hear hell freeze over. i did, someone just suggested that you buy a 300ZX TT AUTO?? that auto will last long, maybe 100K if you baby it.

Maximamike

I can positively say you should read up more on the 300ZX twin turbo, especially the auto ones.

vmok

I think the Z TT autos have some sort of launch conrol that sacifices shift quality for the speed of the shift during full throttle launches. It can probably shift faster than most people can!

i almost bought a 300Z TT about a month ago and a lot of the auto's i saw were rebuilt or replaced. As for the shift control i don't know, but i have seen some with a HKS shift kit(don's vb mod basically)

Too much NOS there big guy.. I think he means auto as in Automobile.

kaleb

You are incorrect.
The VE30DE does not have the same block as a VG30DETT

kaleb

J30 has no less room than a Z32. Remember the turbos are mounted below the engine basically. I bet it could be done pretty easy. Slap a FMIC on there and you're cool.

However, it would still be quite pricey.

The HKS ALC(Automatic Line Controller) tricks the valve body solenoids into sending more pressure. Its like a computerized version of the VB mod.

i'm sorry i know i mixed it up. the VG30DE is very similiar to the VG30DETT, the room might not all be there, but i bet it could be done on a J30 maybe.

95Max

Hey dmbmaxima88,

I was refering to auto as in Automobile.

To bad you didn't get the TT. It is super fast and fun to drive.
