Guest Simon Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hey guys, Anyone know where the VG30DET is from, it’s not from a 300zx. Double overhead cam and single turbo, the 300zx only have twin turbo or non-turbo with the double overhead cam version Is it the same motor as the VG30DETT just single turbo Any info would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 The VG30ET is from 1984-1989 300zxt's single turbo single overhead cam V6 3.0L The VG30DETT is from 1991-1996 300zxt's. they are twin overhead cam twin turbo 3.0L v6's.

ZROSSA Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Simon, Are you looking at a single turbo 3.0 lt dohc engine or a sohc single turbo engine? I think the japs mad a dohc 2.0 single turbo v6 that was in a a cedric or something. Not sure about the 3.0 Dohc with a turbo.

Kevin Shasteen Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 (?); Were the 91-96 NON-Turbo V6's also DOHC's? I'm Not really up to snuff on the last gen Z's. A V6 DOHC, turbo'd or not, would be a pretty sweet engine in an earlier gen Z! I was scouring a local salvage yard this past weekend and came upon an early 80's Toyota Supra Celica w/the DOHC I6; this was the first time I had ever seen that particular engine: looked like it would also make for a nice engine swap.

David K Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 there is a VG30DET DOHC out there. He isnt talking about your average everyday VG30DET single cam or the VG30DETT dohc.

Nissan Cedric Y32 Series The Y32 was in production between late 1991 and 1994. It's engines include the 2960cc DOHC V6 VG30DE engine and the 2960cc turbo charged DOHC V6 VG30DET engine. Nissan Cedric Y33 Series The Y33 was in production between late 1994 and 1998. It's engines include the 2960cc DOHC V6 VG30DE engine and the 2960cc turbo charged DOHC V6 VG30DET engine. Nissan Cedric 430 Series The Y34 entered production in 1998 and is still being made today. It's engines include the 2960cc DOHC V6 VG30DE engine and the 2960cc turbo charged DOHC V6 VG30DET engine.

David K Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 a vg20det 2.0 dohc came in some of the z31's called the 300zr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 mm.. pretty sure thats an early model NICS rb20det that came in the 300ZR usually quite a good engine.. but the version they put in the z31 just seemed to well.. suck quite a bit! tiny lil ceramic turbo and some very weird computer hijinx made it pretty average.. especially in the quite heavy z31 body.. in its other incarnations in the R31 GTS and then going to ECCS in the R32 GTST it became a much much better engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Where in Texas? I want to find out what all they had to do to get the vg30DET in to a 300.... How much of a headache am I gonna get in to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
