Wedge

id say 9 or 9,5 in front and 10 in the back is a great combo but i dont have much experience its just what my track buddy told me .

I signed and i told them it would be great if drifting got some coverage to

Yeah im kinda curious about the price too ?

Im going to get my plate next week ill try to see if they have 280 ZED or maybe 280 VQZ or 280 VQT

I thought about the 240sx dash but incorporating the S30 triple gauge in the middle . Its still a dream but ill start some drawings soon .

Small question do they weight more then the factory ones ?

You can get a smaller battery and you can swiss cheese the metal plate behind the seats CF hood FBG fenders (not so light compared to stockers) Aftermarket A-arms light wheels helps alot ... cant think of more without going hardcore swiss cheesing it .

Join the VQ35 crew .

Nice Jesus badge ! hehe

I have a sunroof on my Z it was their when i bought it and i hate it i cant wait get rid of it .

Id love the fact that someone could document this swap because its a dead given that this engine is better deal then an RB26 here in Canada and RB26 is 3000$ plus 1500 more for the GTS tranny and then you need to rebuild because those babys dont get good treatment useally . I made a rought cost without labor for a Build VQ35 with Sleeves,rods,pistons two used T3/T4 custom manif. gaskets ARP studs and hardware , clutch kit but no exhaust and i get around 8500 $ and good for 600hp++ easy to make that much on an RB considering the disponibility of parts and tuners that works those engines it would take more to make as much on an RB . 8500 $ can be less if you have good contacts on parts etc. its my 2 cents ... i really think the VQ is the engine made to go in a S30 its new meets old .

Good to see people getting some interest in the VQ swap ! You will probably be done before me i just got the motor no tranny form a 2005 350Z cant wait to start fiddeling with it . Too bad i dont have the cash to start building it . Their is a great article on NICO on how to do twins right the first time (turbos you perv's) go check it out its pretty well written .

I got the same issue with my ebrake ill try and cut the wire or adjust the rod even further . The big problem is that the adjusting rod is behind exhaust and drive shaft and the part where the cable is going to each side i just right over the diff. so its a pain to work in that area .

And is the stock L28 clutch a 240 mm ?

Thanks Jon and J.Soileau , i remeber that thread .

Yeah mostly lost in translation . I dont get the part but the rest seems easy its to use the Q45 axel mutants and use that instead ...

i Know the GTR32 has a R200 CLSD short nose with 6 bolt outer so maybe the Q45 half shaff conversion could be applied to it dunno yet im still searching for one to check it out .

That on a L28 right ? I was wondering the same thing if a 240sx clutch would fit on a L28 . EDIT= I just checked ATC website and their heavy duty pressure plate has the same part number (SKU: 83705500095) and Centre Force has the same part number for both their kit (225mm) on 240sx and 280Z L28 equiped . Good to know ! Further searching told me that SR20DET clutch are 240mm and KA24DE are 225mm

I was wondering the same thing she's cute !

Thanks Pete S !

I tried bleeding the brakes and its my first time wasted half a gallon of brake fluid and its still not working . A freind a work asked me if i inverted the calipers like they say the right on the left and etc , i said i did then he told me thats your problem the bleeder is at the bottom and needs to be on top . I felt stupid for a couple hours . Im gonna switch them back on their original side left on left r on r and try it again . Dunno if its installed right the bracket ears are towards the front of the car .

Good question i never did a comp test on a crate engine but if you have a ecu a battery enought juice to crank the thing enought time to check it out ... anyone else could guide him .

Is one of your brake line in your kit diffrent and shorter then the other ? Ill try to take pictures of the hole thing im finishing it up this afternoon

No need to worry hook it up check the comp ratio on all cylinder and and change ALL fluids and a new timing belt ,and a new head gasket . Those engines are pretty stout if well maintained , if one of the cyl. is not compressing in the FSM specs open up and rebuild it .
