That is sexy my friend. My dash is apart at the moment installing speedhut gauges. Taking me a year. Hahaha. Don't ask.
I always wondered what dash would fit in these s30s. Seeing yours makes me go that route.
I need to figure out which wire goes to the senders. Each time I search none of the wires match any diagrams

Has anyone tried to swap the vg30et cross member or is that a fantasy of its own?
-
Rb25? Bolt in? I was leaning towards the l28et. Resale value and according to research can pack a mean punch. Bang for your buck sort of thing. Unfortunately, not easy to look for.
I was willing to trade the 300zx for a complete L28et swap.
-
Hmm what does "bolt right in" really mean? Still cost $4000...
-
Oh wow, so a full subframe swap. That is fairly involved. The factory S30 subframe is spot welded in, so you would either have to undo the spot welds or cut out interference points. I would then look for Sixshooter (sp?) build, at least I think that is him, he has a brown S30 with the 300zx wheels, he swapped over everything and I think he's running a GM ECU.
Something I would suggest is sitting down and thinking about the why's behind the swap. It is a fair amount of work, would be a bummer if you were not happy with your engine choice.
I was more curious to see what people did and what issues in the aftermath with and if anyone has done that. Even if anyone has the zx mounts on the s30. I'll check out sixshooters and get some info.
I thought about so many motors and decided on the l28et. I mean, why not. Drop in and have fun.
Sr20
Expensive in comparison to the above and the next that follows. Produces less torque than the rest.
KA
Needs more work to be ready for boost. I like this motor a lot, as much as the vg.
Rb
$ $ $ and work
VG30ET
In the garage. Hahaha. Torque, boosted already. More powerful than the l28et including part for part upgrades.
From the research, I concluded that the vg would be as much work as the others to swap. So long as you don't buy mckinney or cx stuff. I didn't plan on spending anything except for maintenence things.
Thanks for the response and lead.
-
Whoops. I guess a reply is needed there.
I thought about that, being difficult to work on and also eliminating that factor once in the s30.
There's a vacuum leak somewhere that will be fixed before swapping.
My plan, if I'm able to, was to swap the whole differential and shafts hoping to get a 5 lug set up.
-
I think bloz up did do one, I want to say six shooter (sp) did one as well?
Depends on what you want out of it. The Vg30 has some problems, but a lot of the complaint is that it is difficult to work on/get access. That kind of goes away when you put it in the enormous engine bay of the 240z. You would loose the CV axles going to the 240z, and run into other swap limitations.
Is there anything wrong with the 300zx turbo? I see them fetch a pretty penny up here once in a while.
-
I've been trying to sell my 84 300zx turbo for a while and, I guess, subconsciously don't want to. I've been bouncing back and forth on what swap I wanted. Mainly the main ones that tend to pop up from S30 owners. You know. Big blocks to RB,SR,28et,stock and maybe even KA.
I came across someone who wanted it for the ecu and wiring and some other thing/s I forget. They bailed out last minute on me, for good reason.
Now, I think I want to go VG30ET into the 73. I've seen a couple topics about this swap. One of the best documented was Zr8eds. Not sure if that's the correct spelling. Unfortunately, it was for a 280z. Unsure of the year.
Still not quite certain if I wanted to go on and tackle this, but it's sounds fairly "simple". I dont mean that at all. I know what task this will be. Words are great, but I would like to see pictures of mounting.
I've heard a KA alternator bracket for clearing the frame rail;using the pathfinder or the vg plenums to clear hood latch; not putting the swap too far back for turbo clearance of the steering rack.
I have a complete vg30et car. I was wondering if anyone ever known of someone that just subrame, with the mounts, from the z31 and mounted it somehow to the s30.
If the swap was aligned to meet diff to driveshaft to transmission will the motor mounts align better?
More questions, but I'll start from there. Thanks for the time folks. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Try not to hurt my feelings. Haha

I have an L24 with a 4 speed. I bought a speedhut speedometer that turns out to be an electronic one. Any ideas of how to install it or will I just have to get a mechanical with the cable attachment?
-
I have a '73 240z and am trying to install speedhut gauges. Does anyone know where I can get these terminal ends? Or would I just have to get new terminals and connectors to install them?
-
Sorry for your troubles. On the bright side you have plenty of shops to choose from in SoCal. I'm up North in the Bay and 3 that I know of. They're not even Z shops, well, one Z shop and the rest were Z mechanics that of Z shops that closed down.
Sounds like you have a nice set up there. Like to get some info and ideas if that's alright. I have a 73 stock. I was in line of buying a donor 82 turbo. Couldn't bring myself to it knowing my motor was pretty damn near perfect running condition and weather strip is old, gauges inop, fumes, fumes, fumes. Little things here and there.
Speedometer wiring help

What does this lead to?
I have a 1973 240z and I've been trying to locate the proper wires for the speedometer with no success. Im tryung to install speedgut gauges. Ive wired and mounted the oil, temp and fuell gauges. All I've searched says that a blue and red wire or blue, but none for these. It's behind the speedometer.
Do I have a wiring harness from another car? I'm assuming it's a power lead, but don't want to fry anything.
Any help, suggestions. Thanks.
