ZR8ED Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 As many know, I have had my VG30ET powered 280Z for more than 10 years. It is also for sale, so I have been getting much more email regarding the car lately. A guy from the east coast told me about a deal he had just missed out on...A VG30ET powered S30! and directed me to check it out online. I did. Nice car, but was done a bit differently, and it is not intercooled, but still had air/con. Claimed 400hp at 9psi (With no I/C that is almost impossible) A couple of short cuts taken on the install, that I didn't like mainly the placement/shifter location, but otherwise a clean looking install. In all my years of internet surfing, I have come across only a few of these swaps, and even fewer that were completed and running. I understand that not everyone is posting about their Z's on the net, but I suspect that there are not that many swaps out there PERIOD. Anyone know or have seen any others? (BTW this one was from Florida. Dark Red, and supposedly spend $60K on it. Swap was done maybe 3yrs ago..when the car was being built) Post a link if you know of any online please.

GodZilla Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I know this is a VG swap but not sure which exact VG it is http://riseautosalon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9:project-datsun-280z-update I can take lots of pictures of it if you want. You can also check the gallery on that site to see a few more pictures of it. Edited July 19, 2010 by GodZilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) That's a DE. Not really a fan of all that extra weight in the back though. Edited July 19, 2010 by FlatBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 This is the only VG I've seen in person, and it's just a VG30E. It was at a brisbane car show back in.... 05'? It was just after I got my sencond Z, and my first show I went to with ZONC members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
