Scott has posted on this site in the past and hopefully can give us a bit more information as to how things are going and how the car runs.

Guest lambsr Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 I'm nit-picking to a degree but that's a VG30ET not a VG30DET (ie quad-cam) engine. I'm helping a mate fit a VG30DET to a RHD 260Z and I'd pretty much echo this guys comments about engine position and the gearbox mount. But the engine mounts on a DET engine are a bit more problematic to say the least - they're offset fore/aft by about 4 inches (one side compared to the other) !! Fortunately with the RHD cars you don't have the turbo/steering arm clearance problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted September 13, 2001 Author Share Posted September 13, 2001 Hey, thanks for that clarification! Do you have any pics of your setup online? I'd love to see them. Have you considered relocating the turbo to the GN position? That would likely eliminate the need to redo the frame rail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja240z Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 In the spirit of the game, gentlemen those that fantasized about a carb version of this engine with headers. Check this out!http://www.vg30.com/510vg30parts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
