I just recently bought a 95 n/a manual 300zx. Im not a real big fan of the VG30de/VG30dett Im more of a V8 type of guy. Everywhere I go I ask around about the Nissan Titan and the Q45 engines. I know both will fit inside the 300zx but I want to know which has the biggest aftermarket, and wont burn my pockets for labor. My original plan was to get a Q45 and twinturbo it but I found a crashed nissan titan, front fender is gone and radiator is damaged but the motor is still good. The owner doesnt want it and is relinquishing it to me for $1,500 dollars which should I consider.......Vq45/vk56????
Also, I know I would need to buy a Twinturbo Z tranny to handle the torque of these monsters or could I keep the stock tranny????
Need help guys!!! Someone was telling me to just throw in a Inline 6 rb26 or 2jz motor and call it a day...but thats not where my heart is.....
Im kinda on a budget I got like around 4k to spend on the engine and swap.
