Cruez Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 N/P alexideways, I thought about the VG swap in my 510, but now I'm thinking more the lines of a KA swap... really wanna do a VQ30 swap though more fabbing involved..... Otherwise I might be hitting you up for the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 what about those guys from australia that had an FJ20 in their car that was stupid fast? I think the thread was in the timeslip forum...That might be a swap to consider. did a quick search, found the thread, with videos in the 4-cylinder forum:http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=112999&highlight=fj20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwik240z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 N/P alexideways, I thought about the VG swap in my 510, but now I'm thinking more the lines of a KA swap... really wanna do a VQ30 swap though more fabbing involved..... Otherwise I might be hitting you up for the parts I am doing a VG30 swap into my 510. I have a 1987 200SX SE with the VG30 and 5 speed that I picked up from a member of hybrid Z last year. It is a decent car with 118K miles on it. Paid $200 and the guy drove it to my place for me. I too would love to do the VQ swap but I agree that the fab is a bit much. I think I will wait until Mario at TSR comes up with the swap kit first. I heard that he is working on it. I like the KA too but I have the VG30 and I picked up a team thump install kit (motor mounts, trans mount, oil pan and oil pickup) pretty cheap. Should make it easy. The VG30 makes the same power as the KA but the VG makes more torque. I have driven both a vg30 510 and a KA 510 and I like the way the vg feels better. I guess after driving my LS1240Z I am kind of a torque junkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Veritach - The FJ20 came standard in these S12 cars in Japan in certain trim levels, they were known as the Leopard and also the Gazelle and in RS-X form has the beautiful FJ20ET standard.

Tell me more about these cars, what exactly is the FJ20 & ....ET, did whe got them here in america? After seeing that video, I think it'd be a good candidate for the swap. I'm not looking at 9sec. "I'm all about curves, stickwayz or sidewayz" but, I sure like some power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm all about curves, stickwayz or sidewayz" but, I sure like some power. if you need info on these cars. you can contact mean street speed and custom here in Toronto, Ontario. They have about 10 of them on their lot. various models, even the coupe version. One is getting an FJ20 megasquirt transplant right now. There's a guy in the land down-under that has a FJ20 Gazelle, Ben Diggles. on a budget of about 100 a week, he got it to run 9's on slicks. the car is bad ass. I sorta like the 200sx because theyre like a nissan version of a AE86 corolla. And one of the good things about the 200sx is it's turning radius. Turn the wheels at full lock and you'll see what im talkin about. HUUUUUUUUUUGE wheel angle. Granted, with any engine in there, you could toss the back end out with a steering angle that high, but with some good suspension you could probably keep all that car in control. also, the newer models have a nicer interior that is reminiscent of the new G35 coupes, if youve ever taken the time to compare the two. those are the models i like. I think 1991 ish? Either way, as a nissan fan, i'd make some mods to those cars cause they're fun and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexideways Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Can you get pics nd a bit more info on this interior cause, exept the awesome color and the sloshbox the first thig that sruck me when I saw the pics was: DAMN THAT DASH!!! LOOKS LIKE S**T!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 FJ20 I know was available in the skyline at one point, I'm not an expert on that engine. That thread I linked to implied that it was the original powerplant for that car, but I don't know for certain. I know there is a thread in the 4 cyl forum about somebody putting it in an S30. It's a 2 litre twin cam, single turbo fuel injected engine, supposedly extremely stout, but like I said, all I've got to go on is hearsay. I'd PM the guys that started that thread, and also run search or two and see what pops up. It's always best to talk to somebody with first hand knowledge when you are looking to spend money, if you ask me. I do know that car was replaced by the S13 in 89 in the states, but we also had a 2 door sentra that was called the 200sx for awhile. Maybe they did that interior? If you could get pictures, that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOKS LIKE S**T!!!!! i'll see what i can do. but even i was impressed with the dash from that one that im talkin about. its one of the cleanest i've seen, and for 200 bux it was bought.
