73DatsunZ Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think I read somewhere on here that a member attempted it, but it didn't fit because of the turbochargers and the manifolds. So he went with a VG30DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG383 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 thanks, yes my concerns were clearance side and bottom of the motor. it would be just too sweet to have it drop right in.... WG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 This is the only S30 I've heard of with a VG30DETT. http://www.specialtyz.com/aboutus.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30 SPL Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Alt Z in Huntington Beach,CA also had a VG30DETT in a S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z24O Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I had a 260z with a VG30DET in it,man it was a tight fit,they are a tall wide motor but they are built for boost...better head sealing than an RB due to the head bolt setup,hate to have an extra turbo in there and then try and work on it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRZ man Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have one of those single turbo vg30 motor, it looks like it would fit, but I also got a vq35 and I think it would be better on a early z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 A guy who has a z shop out here has one in his 280z. It is a super clean car with nitrous, but it is an automatic. supposed to be insane fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
