rp975 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I was wondering if anyone has any info on installing the VQ30DET into an early Z car? I was thinking that this might be good because it is a newer Nissan engine, apparently it is all alloy and has a timing chain instead of a belt. I'm not sure how wide it is or what transmissions are available for them? Also if they are a 6 cyl version of the VQ45 V8 , which I have seen a photo of in an early Z, if so it is fairly wide. If anyone can help with some info that would be great. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 you mean VG30DETT or VG30ET? unless im just dumb and or never knew about a VG30DET here in the states. EDIT i see your not in the States.. not sure on the DET, but its been done with a VG30ET from a USDM Z31 300zx. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp975 Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi Mike, I did mean VQ30DET, it is a 3ltr version of the new 350Z engine but with a single turbo and is available ex Japan from a Cedric I think. Some importers are bringing them into Australia. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavD3 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi Robert, there was post about VQ35de in early Z while ago, and there was few ideas until someone posted that this engine is too tall for S30 engine bay.You can search this or high thech board for more info.

Thaniel Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I was wondering if anyone has any info on installing the VQ30DET into an early Z car?

Doubt anyone has done it yet do to the fact they VQ30det is not sold in the states and must be imported special. I'd just go with the VQ35de and get the whole drive train.

Savage42 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I had a VG30ET in my Datsun 510 and was considering a VQ35, but I then got the V8 Z bug. A friend just finished putting a VG30DETT into his 510 and the 510 engine compartment is much smaller than a Z, as there's no way a SBC will fit w/o cutting stuff up. Anything is possible with enough time and money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
