macambra Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) To set the stage, I've been an L motor guy for decades. I sold off my S130ZXT 6 or so years ago to someone who had more time to care and feed it. Life has changed. My son enlisted. My daughter has fond memories of the ZXT and now that she is approaching driving age...she thinks I need a Z-car again...and my friend just bought a 370Z... I am pondering over a 84 Z31 AET. I used to work at the local Nissan dealer and repaired VG30s in Zs, Maxipads, and Partfinders all the time, but never combining generational components. After re-establishing my account here, I read through a bunch of threads and think maybe I have a handle on the build I wznt to do. I'm thinking a VG33ET with VG30DETT crank/rods/pistons/oil pump/lighweight flywheel/ Z32 5sp and 87 VG30ET manifolds, cams and timing set. EMS will be MS2 possibly DIS. Greddy BOV, 440cc injectors from Osidetiger. Haven't looked at intercooler options yet. I'm in the research stage prepairing to plan logistics. What did I miss?

JSM Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) All in the 84 chassis or S30? This guy is on Facebook and makes all kinds of wild things. https://www.puckerfactoryfab.com Edited December 24, 2019 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macambra Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Z31 chassis. I'm done with S30/130s. I'm too old for the smaller cars. I want some comfort. I wasactually debating between Z31 and Z32. I chose Z31 because I don't want to work on the DETT engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Stock exhaust manifolds are fine, the intake on these motors is everything and hard to improve significantly, GTX35/82R turbo works well. If you have spare money spend it on the intake, get pro help there. Edited January 3, 2020 by 260DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
