Oh I know all about that motor, I drive a 1993 Pathfinder with that motor(got the car in late 1992). It is a fantastic motor in the Pathfinder and I bet it is even better in the Z. I guess I was misunderstanding something else. I knew the timing belt was expensive as we have had that changed, but I didn't know everything else was reasonably priced.

I mean is the VG a bad idea from a financial standpoint?

any more pics by any chance?

Got a link or pics of it?

you know how much hp it was making?

What would be a bad idea sorry that was not clear?

So it is better than the QR? What is the redline of both? What about the milage which gets the better milage(mpg)? Also I know the SR20det is illegal but the SR20 fwd is legal in the state of Cali. But is the SR20de rwd legal? And what is N/A potential of this motor and what milage could I expect out of it?

Yeah I found the redline to be a little low in our pathfinder compared to our FX35 with the VQ35.

Well as long as I can make at least 200hp and 200tq I should be cool, even if its N/A and you couple that to what a 2400lb weight I should be doing 13 in my quarter and get 25mpg street(I think). What about an supercharger how well do they work on the QR25? Is there another Nissan motor similar to the QR(excluding the SR and CA)? Is the Ka24 any better than the QR25? What is the weight of the QR25 could not find a substantial info? Thank you for all the answers.

So is the general consensus that a N/A VG30de swap simple but a VG30de turbo and twin turbo require more work? I think I may want to use this motor for a 240Z if it is an easy sway in N/A form or even in an S/C form. The only thing I didn't really like is the redline. I have Nissan Pathfinder with the VG30de and the I find the redline to be a little to low. Does the 300zx have a higher redline?

Could one add the SC of the VQ33 to the VG30 with out the issues of the turbo VG30?

more pics and specs of the car please? I wonder if they added the 350Z navigation to it. I would not be surprised if this weighs something like 2550lbs.

Does not matter as long as I can get pretty decent MPG and at least 200hp. It looks like my best engine choice would be the VQ25HR, which makes like 0-60 in 6.8 seconds in the recently Skyline sedan and makes around 30mpg. But they don't make this engine for the North American market so was looking for a similar feature from an engine.

Is that the S1 rev-up upgrade the 2005 and above VQ35 manuals got?

so if we use the whole QR25 motor and tranny off the Frontier would one run into some of those issues you are facing? Like the lock out and such? Btw is the Frontier using a 6-speed in the QR or is that just in the VQ?
