300zx v8 dyno

[nismonick300zx]

do you have a build thread on this car cause im doing the same thing and just have a question on the shiftter set up, im running a T-5 trans and i dont see it reaching the where the shifter would sit??

thank nick

[beegeezee505]

This Is a smokin' build! I had a 300zx from this era, my favorite. I wish I knew how to fabricate stuff cause I would do the same. I've been thinking about getting a 240sx and doing the vh45de swap. The engine has a nice note, but not nearly as aggressive as the one you have here. By the way, that body kit is totally bad ass.

Do you have any advice for a novice tuner? I'm trying to get into this kind of thing and my only real experience is installing car stereos. How do you learn fabrication?

[skulls21]

Nice car, nice motor very bad combo!!!!!!!!!

[eclipsegsx765]

ehh putting a V8 in a japanese car. It looks & sounds great good job.

[funguy7979]

somebody please develop a swap kit for this car...!!!!

[Donpire]

What a SHAME of swapping the motor!!!

[tombstone200]

cool

[PKMTrainer61]

as much as i love 300zx. THE guy bellow is a idiot

[scavenom2008]

thus id heresy how do you dare heretics. You whom have temper with the true spirit and reliability of a Z deserve to have break downs and oil poodles on their inferior v8 engines

[geminitwin1234]

it was at the bottom of the ocean ...get a grip

@scavenom2008

Negro Please, the vg30dett is a nightmare. Timing belt job is over 10hrs, even replacing the spark plugs requires a damn cherry picker. Dont get me started about engine harness and injector issues.  VG30 FTL

[scavenom2008]

What????? a cherry picker for spark plugs are you knotts or clearly don't know what you are talking about? you wont have any harness issues as long as you keep the contacts clean and protected with dielectric grease the injectors could be easier to replace but there are methods that dont requiere the removal of the plenum. i have done it all so i know what i am talking about. Ill give you the estimate on the timimg belt but once again how many times do you change the belt ........1 every 60k

[johnadams2781]

im working on the same project is there anyway u could share some info on where and what kind of mounts are needed it would save me alot of time

[bizenniboi]

that thing is cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeean. what kinda seats are those?

[PijnigeR]

Clean?! It has chrome wheels....If anything is not clean it's chrome...

[999jesster999]

what exhaust i am building a 383sbc and i like that sound

[geminitwin1234]

3 inch all the way to bullets

[RMD3]

is that a proform carb? how do you like it? im doing a carbed ls1 into my 944 and am deciding between carb brands

[geminitwin1234]

no problems with it.very responsive

[oldsmanguy]

weeeeeeeeeeee!

[jimbo2351]

so what were the numbers?

[geminitwin1234]

413 to the wheels no nitrous

[PijnigeR]

heavy ass? All Z32s, even the 2+2, are nose heavy.

[PijnigeR]

That made no sense at all. Why is eveybody so hostile on youtube? All I did was post a fact. Not hostile at all. Clearing up "you" ignorance has nothing to do with this. Something wrong with you or something? Did somebody did something horrible to you for you to become a badass keyboard warrior?

[45Mang]

so what engine did you swap for? sounds like a beast!

[geminitwin1234]

a .60 350

[splackman88]

fire wall, motor mounts, and tranny cross menber?

[splackman88]

whats mod did u have to do to make this work? looks great!

[geminitwin1234]

WICH PART

[DVcustomZ]

I am a Z owner and builder big VG30dett fan, but I have to admit that is an awesome job. Love the hood and body work. The only thing I would have done different is I would have boosted it too. Imagine what that would sound like that motor a decent size 70mm turbo. Also what paint code is that that looks beautiful you could swim in that paint job

[geminitwin1234]

the first plan was to turbo the car just ran out of time. i have two 52mm i was going to put on it ,but now those are going on a 63 chevy II im building.the paint code is a black off the 03 maxima with a touch of deep blue for the depth.

[DVcustomZ]

sorry to tell you but I am copying you. Shoul have painted next month will post vid.

[geminitwin1234]

cool let me know when its done with some pics

[powerskay]

any vids yet driving? would love to see it smoke the tires...lol

[geminitwin1234]

ill try to get some more on here

[powerskay]

Are you using the stock rear end? what tranny?

Would love to know more info about the details of the swap.

That car is Sick!!!!!!!

[geminitwin1234]

yeah im using the stock rear end. Its an n/a with 4;09 gears. Im using a t350 with manual valve body

[romangonzalez18]

how much did this swap run you

[geminitwin1234]

about $3000 minus the cost of the motor

[romangonzalez18]

as in 3000 total ?

[bantambunny]

How did you get around the manifolds, were they custom fabricated or did you find another way?

[geminitwin1234]

they are sanderson headers.they are the shortest ones they make

[bantambunny]

Thanks buddy

[daniel32nicolosi]

Not bad for an NA motor. Healthy numbers. You probably spent less money then I did on my motor. I have over 20,000 dollars in my VG and putting out 750+BHP on twin turbos. lol

[geminitwin1234]

a whole lot less,only about 8,000 in the complete car,but i also do all the work myself with a buddy of mine.this was a katrina victom so it was the perfect canidate for a v8 swap,hopefully get to about 550hp with a little shot.

[daniel32nicolosi]

are you running open headers?

My GOD that is loud. Sounds like those dogs that are all bark but no bite!!!! lol

[geminitwin1234]

its full 3 nich exhaust. just sounds that loud inside the building. 413hp to wheels with no squeese is enough on this prodject

[bantambunny]

So what was the result? I'm building a smallblock 383 stroker Z32 at the moment so interested to see what you get stock without nitrous
