Jay1970Z Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Hey guys, I've been in the hunt for a new daily driver and I was wondering how hard it would be to swap a VG30DETT (JDM or Domestic) into a 2+2 or any NA Z32. I just saw a JDM VG30DETT half cut on ebay with a buy it now of $2500, and theres a guy on ZCar.com selling a 1990 2+2 Z32 auto (supposedly in immaculate condition but not driveable) for $3500. Total before any labor or extra parts necessary would be $6000 for a fast, low mileage, 2+2 (which I would prefer because I need some extra room) and the insurance company would see it as an NA, so a little cheaper insurance. So what I want to know is can this be done, and if so, could I do it myself or would I need professional assistance. I can do most of the work on my L24 or a SBC, but looking under the hood of a Z32TT just scares me. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Guest MegaShaft_2000 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 It's been done plenty of times. As far as engine swaps go it's easy since the VG30DETT was designed to fit in that chassis. Check Twinturbo.net for information about it. Keep in mind that the guys on there aren't the most technical bunch and an engine swap is a radical operation to most of them.
