90% of the later z31 open diffs are four pinion, very few had 2 pinions. Yes OP it is dependent on build date, like stated above 4/87 and up.

Score! Welcome to the 2j club. Where did you nab this from?

They work awesome! Also, they create torque if you look at dynographs of the folks using them. What turbo are you looking at?

Is the TT oil pump a sizable upgrade? Also, i noticed on many na2t build threads folks switching out the GE HG for the GTE thicker HG. Were you looking for quicker spool time by using the GE HG and retaining the higher comp? I am at the point of collecting parts to put my GE back together and was just curious about some of your choices for parts.

Might wanna check this out before cutting up your car, its alot easier than you guys think. http://www.northwestnissans.com/board/threads/104488-1972-Datsun-240Z-UP-Garages-Build-Thread!?highlight=UP+Garages+73+240z

Thats why I was asking.......if its a front sump design and it would clear the engine would be far back anyways. See what I mean? I am just going to build my own pan like PAT does and place the engine appropriately. Thanks for the responses guys!

Most of the swaps I see in this forum are mid sump jz series. has anyone successfully swapped in a front sump engnine? To me it looks like from everyones pics that there is enough room and especially with how far back these things sit. I have a 2jz front sump engine I have been building for the past few months and was getting ready to purchase a mid sump setup from a gte engine locally. If I don't have to spend 300 bucks on that guys sump then I can move onto buying other more important things like my transmission. Someone that builds his own pans such as yourself Pat would most likely know if this would clear or not. Btw, I love your setup and I can only imagine how fast your car is! My friend and I put a 1jz into his TE corola, that thing weighed about as much as our z's. It was consistently laying down low 13's high 12's in stock form and then when he went single, low 12's weren't even an issue.

thats a 4x4 truck he was mocking this up into as well, that makes a huge difference in clearance. he hasnt been heard from in a while either.

no not a huge demand. I have a decent thread over at z31p that shows the first set I did. Everyone whined about not having injector bosses so I changed them. Now there up to everyones liking apparently but now theres been a crap ton of layoffs and people have no money. So, now I am whoring myself out to all the boards. lol!

If your trying to fit it into a HB you will have a very hard time doing it in a 2wd. The turbos hit directly on the frame rails, you can notch them to clear the turbos but it will make it very difficult to work on. They only clear the frame rails in the 4wd's due to the raised engine height. All I am saying is you can have the accurate measurements but its going to hit either way and you will need to cut. peace.

I figured the guys that visit this site dont venture onto other boards too much, i thought I would post these here as well. Respond to the for sale thread in the classified section if you wish to purchase a set. Otherwise all comments to how they look and you feel they will function should stay here. thank you!

Anyone got a map for the he351? I was told it was an HYfrom an 04 dodge but later found out its an HE. Thats what it looks like, its bigger far as compressor housing size than an HX or HY. Was told the compressor wheel is 2mm larger than an HX but has the same size turbine wheel as an HY. It spools pretty late on my vg30 but would like to know what its capable of HP wise. peace.

your car is my cars visual twin! only yours came with all the goodies. w-series, CLSD, and 5speed Keeep it lookin good man! peace.

what a waste of time. I would swap a vq in over a vg30dett or yeah even stick with the vg30et. I loved driving my friends z32tt it had over 450hp but it was always breaking. maybe the less cramped engine bay of the z31 will help with the heat but I doubt much. I wish they didn't break all the time and it wasn't ever life threatening. Its just the fact that you had to always be under the hood with the damn things. I heard Osaka was good but I would still support your local importer if they have decent feed back from others. peace.

the turbos will need to be rebuilt before you would ever need to pull the heads/ replace the oil pump. Just stick with the vg30e, I got sick of pulling my friends vg30dett all the time. Sure it was mostly a drag car but it was still a pain in the ass.

which car? very vague description.

Send a message out on the nwdatsunowners site, there was a guy selling a really nice white 240z with a chev swap mated to a manual trans. I saw it at a show in august so, I dont know if its still for sale but it was a really nice car and a great deal at 6k. peace.

you never ever worry about boost until you realize how much HP your after. Boost is just a number in conjunction with the size of your turbo and how much HP that particular turbo delivers with that given number of boost. make sense? In other words don't tell people how much boost you want to run. tell us how much HP you want. peace.

VG30dett engine is a fun engine but its not very reliable. If your wanting more power and choosing the turbo route then your on the right path. The engine your Frontier has is capable of over 400 reliable whp as it is. To get there you will need a better fuel system, ECU, turbo manifold(custom in your case), and many other little things I cant think of right now. I have swapped in a vg30et from a 86 300zx into a HB pickup which is the same frame as your frontier, essentially. The firewall mods and engine mount to clear the turbo were the only extensive aspects to the swap. This truck walks WRX's and hangs with modded Sti's all day long. Its running the stock 5psi of boost and an ETS FMIC. So, in short boost your vg33 and be happy with it. peace.

how much for the intake and injectors?

A couple people have built 250hp n/a engines with what I consider little mods, like cam gears, cams, and a pathy intake. Vg wagon layed down 200whp in his 510 wagon with just cam gears and pathy intake. I believe he is going for even more with his new 3.3 build but I havent talked to him about it in a while. You can find him over at forum.ratsun.net or he goes by Dman over at z31performance.com. peace.

90 maxima engine would be a single cam, a 93 would be a dual cam. I doubt you have a 93 engine unless you did all the work involved with such a swap. A 92 ecu would have to be from a very early 92 to work in a 90's car. I am surprised it even turned on really, lol. peace.

your guys's wagons are hot! You should join forum.ratsun.net and show em off. We dont have enough wagon hotness over there, lol. peace.

Wasnt being a dick as I have stated this over and over in his other thread, I havent heard from him in a while either. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127023

pathfinder, 200sx(v6), and truck manifolds are all the same.
