Administrators BRAAP Posted September 9, 2010 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hello. I am new at this websight so please bare with me. I am planning on doing a vg30dett engine swap in my 1974 datsun 280z. If you car is a '74, it would be a 260Z, if it's a 280-Z then it is '75-'78. ... First question.. Will my stock rear end hold up to 360 hp? ... This forum has been around since early 2000, dedicated to extreme performance Z cars. Every post since 2000 is still here and rest assured the topic of diff strength has been covered and literally beat to death. There are members here running low 8 seconds in the 1/4 mile at over 150 MPH pulling, (see pic below), with the stock Datsun Diff. Instead of wasting even more bandwidth and web space on a subject that has already been covered adnauseum we ask that new members get comfortable with the search engine, (it's actually rule #2 in our rules and guidelines) as well as read the stickies at the top of the drivetrain section. Spoon feeding readily available information is something this forum frowns upon. Has anyone ever done a true 300zx twin turbo motor swap into an s30? I see alot of vg30det but very little to no vg30dett... Yes, Greg Dupree, well known VG30DETT builder/tuner and owner of Specialty Z, http://www.specialtyz.com/ probably has the most famous VG30DETT S30 conversion, it was covered in one of the Z car magazines years ago. Gregs VG30DETT Z; Here is one that started, engine in the engine bay, then scrapped; http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/52179-vg30dett-280z-conversion-picsect/ Stock Datsun rear end!
