VQ240z Startup and Rev

[METALGEARZETTO]

RB30 or VQ35/7 ? I can't make up my mind!

[s30zman]

hey dude your in nc also no way i have 6 zcars!!!!

[ncfatcyclist]

cool!

[jdmsai1]

Nice and cleanly done swap. If I ever had the money, I would want whoever did this do mine.

[4our]

How much was it all together for this set up.. Im thinking about going with the VQ35 motor rather than the 2jz Motor...

[bncr33vspec]

It's beautiful!!!

[MrSouthernman73]

I applaud you man for NOT putting a chevy motor in and opting for the Nissan VQ series V6. Now if you DO decide for a V8 later, Fuckem all up with a VQ45 :-)

[MrSouthernman73]

@MrSouthernman73 Correction...that should be VK45DE ;-)

[TheJdtj]

v8 r easily to blown

[twofortyrida]

@MrSouthernman73 its a vh45 or vk45 my friend

[MrSouthernman73]

@twofortyrida Look above your recent post. I made a self correction 3 months ago :-)

[elomni87]

very clean man. and sounds good.. was it a hard swap.. itd be nice to supercharge it..

[chiveshardcore]

you have enough room for like 5 turbo's in there.

challenge accepted? ;D

[4531236]

muah!



[mounlasy]

Sweeeet!



[sctrep]

very nice. Looks beautiful!!!

[RedResurrections]

look at that gap, you could have dropped in an ls1.

[BankstersR4Communism]

@RedResurrections Or use that room for a massive turbo if possible :-P

[ImWeezzel]

could you tell us more about your build?

[Ej1djknew09]

are you on a forum or something? did you document the progress of this swap?

[TheCompanyMediaGroup]

[MIZQUITLI]

I loved your old set up with the L28ET, but this is bad ass I just got my VQ35DE today and gonna be swapping it into my 280zx.

[240zguy240]

added a liter of displacement and gained about a foot of room in the engine bay. well done.

[sunstone12]

Very clean very nice

[LimitlessAeon619]

Looks damn good, I'd drive it.

[themikepotter]

I got a boner. Thank you.

[skylineracr]

Stunning. Very tastefully done sir!

[brownmokey]

turbo's next?



[superjump01]

The only thing I don't like about that engine is the intake manifold is ballz ugly, not really important but to me a sports car engine should look like a styled piece of art,something that compliments the style of the car.

[wajalama]

@superjump01 So that's what it was...LOL

[wangantalon]

I loved your car with the L28ET!!! this is even more awesomeness!!

[OGmr420]

nice clean swap and sounds great, i envy this car(:

[phillylele]

nice build engine bay looks fresh!

[j1mbOZ31]

i bow to your skill. this is great and i like how you kept a Z engine instead of a LS1 or RB or whatever they're throwing in an S30 these days (too freakin common -_-) but seriously love this i might actually consider a VQ in my Z31... hmm lol

[200sxxxxx]

simply BEAUTIFUL!

[maingauche36]

seriously where do you house the dilithium crystals?

[280zxNick]

You have a loud fuel pump

[thexworms]

DUDE that's sick!

[brapboys503]

Bet that baby handles NICE with all six cylinders BEHIND the front axle.

[maingauche36]

where do you house the dilithium crystals?

[jhaze918]

haha badass man! new school meets old school...looks factory and sounds mean!!! good fuckin work!!

[furious530]

did u buy or custom make the motor mounts and member?

[kubahobo]

NICE i hate v8's so this is godly

[just2stoned]

I live down the road from ya'll in Nashville. Would love to see that car driving around.

[dkhaha]

dude thats fuckin wicked. you should add twin turbos on it. or at least a singel

[Sackajawiiia]

jfc, now thats just jizztastic... fuck i want one. Great job man, keep the nismo spirit alive! :)

[erikmendoza03]

beautiful car

[catlinm123]

Very clean

[1stcar280zx]

hey wow nice car. i love how you didnt follow what everyone does a put the v8 in. i like that you put in something true to the company as well. amazing car man. i wish mine looked/ran that good.

[tscurlyninja]

how much did it cost for the swap and motor??

[tsslaporte]

So what did you pull in the 1/4 with this?

[olddirtytoyota]

i love ur car!

[blackychan328]

how much did this swap cost

[XenoRacing]

wow your engine bay looks so empty. wire tuck ftw

[wyochubs]

i saw your website before i ran into the videos cuz i was looking up if anyone was even thinking about swaping the motor very nice im still debating on using the vq or athe v8 that infiniti uses though

[hugens26]

Good Job man what year is yours by the way

[Zedman260]

Compliments on the install...very well done

[napz510]

Nice!

[LIFTEDXCHEVYZ71]

Sex.

[Zedman260]

Like all the other comments, Excellent work there...well done.

[211Alucard]

Very very nice job.

[funguy7979]

very clean swap congrats.

[MegaTronn]

Very nice swap. I'm looking to do the same swap in my 280Z but with a Stillen supercharger added. Hope I don't have to butcher the hood or get another hood like the 350Z guys do.

[DivineBetrayal]

@MegaTronn you probobly would need a custom hood cause his looks like it just fits as it is

[jeepxjftw]

your car is sex

[tribaldrummergod]

dude, that engine bay is soooooo clean. Nice job man

[krazyhooligan]

real tight

[phillylele]

So sexy love your Z

[ray1244]

1:05 was a dream :D

[isaacd101]

what transmission are you using and did you do anything to the rear end? very nice swap im wanting to do one with my 260z when i get it going

[MRGTRB26]

that Z is sick man i would love to have a S30z like that

[280zxNick]

that is the coolest Z ive ever seen in my life serious i gotta say that is so badass

[firstgenon24s]

Looks and sounds AMAZING!

[pLaTiNumSR20]

PERFECT!

[007johnie]

turbo that beast.

[iceefreet]

cleanest swap i have ever seen.

[tarasdv]

dude this car is awsome

[tegagsr]

not only does that look good and sound good but that motor has alot of room in there to work on, great swap

[menm811]

gahh i love the sound

[CamtheMan926]

y not like an LS1/ something bigger...you got room

[twiistedsixx]

Wanted to keep this car all Nissan, LS1 has been done in every car imaginable many times over. The number of VQ swapped 240z's you can count on your hand.  Plus all the room is for turbos down the road :)

[twiistedsixx]

I also got the chance to be creative and design everything myself. When you are doing something that nobody else has done you get a more of a challenge which is what I was looking for.

[CamtheMan926]

dude i love those responses...i feel you about the creativity thing and ESPECIALLLYYYY the turbos. Hell if you wanna be creative and stuff put 4 fuckin turbos in it hahaha...no but for real i like it a lot congrats on the swap

[Hoobastnk90]

@twiistedsixx cuz an ls would be a disgrace noob

[the1stonyxriddle]

@Hoobastnk90 What is your opinion of the rb series motor being in a 67 Mustang Fastback? Still feel the same? It's stupid that people have these biases. If you really want to be technical about it, this engine is NOT built by the same people that built the car, anyway. Fast is fast and anyone who gets off their ass and does something about it deserves recognition.

[TXmatrix2nr]

@CamtheMan926 weight distribution is better with the VQ i think

[0akcliff]

@CamtheMan926 and he wanted to keep it nissan dude, i aint mad atcha

[49Shortvid]

@CamtheMan926 ls is soooo boring and simple. the z swap is sick and has meaning

[just2stoned]

@CamtheMan926 don't need it. A v8 is too much. This just feels right. At least he put a Nissan back into a Nissan. Thumbs up for not putting a V8 in it. 

[kazanyemmi]

@CamtheMan926 LS1 is lame, especially since everyone puts that engine in what ever it fits, some people don't like crossing streams either

[drz00241kid]

@CamtheMan926 yeah but the vq makes the car more balanced then any v8 or striaght six you can put in there

[AngelOfNight9]

@CamtheMan926 Because this motor is just fine and it's nice to see him staying within the Z line fir the engine, all it needs is a turbo or SC to fill that space up just nice.. and completely outperform an LS1

[13NinjaTurtle]

Beautiful, have u taken it to the quarter mile yet?

[twiistedsixx]

Nope, going next weekend!

[13NinjaTurtle]

lemme know what it runs... ur car is bad ass

[masterace088]

@twiistedsixx so what was the quarter mile time?

[joelchils]

@twiistedsixx this was like year ago (youtube says )

how fast did it run the 1/4 mile?

[takulovesanime]

oooooh wow sexy tone from the rear.

[matrox]

Fast car but sounds like a tin can.

[MrYellowlegged]

omg that thig sits way back and all that power its almost like amid engin car must handle beter what kind of motor mounts did u uste did u make them urself man that is a really nice set up im very impressed

[sirsupra]

U in NC?

[twiistedsixx]

Yea

[sirsupra]

Cool man so do i im near raleigh my brother owns a 1980 L28 280 zx turbo with a t66. i own a 88 Supra with a 2JZ swap and im running a t88 were bouts u at?

[twiistedsixx]

Sweet, sorry for the late reply.  I got to school in Raleigh at NCSU (be here till Dec 09). I live in Mooresville though.

[sirsupra]

Dude fucking sweet man i live in greenville ,nc id love to meet you and see this fucking car im in a Nissan car club its called CAROLINA NISSAN look it up

[olsoncor]

Did you have to create all custom dash and interior to accomodate the engine? How does it handle? I used to own a 77' 280z and I am looking purchase another z car soon and do a restore

[redpr5]

@twiistedsixx lol mooresville. lived there for a hot minute, fuck that place

[acuraboy101]

@sirsupra twiistedsixx lol wow im a junior at state. weird that i randomly saw this video and read your comments. i drive an 02 dc5

[snailp00]

did fab your own exhaust system too??

great job btw. :D

[zrunner240Z]

Dude that sounds TOTALLY BADAZZ!!!

You need to run it at Mooresville or Wilkesboro sometime.

[brownmokey]

Damn man that is bad ass! whats next turbo? how does it handle compaired to the L motor? ...How much would this swap cost a broke ass college student like my self?

[actafool2f]

now that sounds sick

[darkcorsair247]

whatever, its light, in the future everything will be made out of "plastic"

[brownmokey]

Ya kind of like my 98 saturn sl1

[n00bSLicer]

Yes, its purely aesthetic.

[twiistedsixx]

More then likely.

[twiistedsixx]

Right, right, right the Mona Lisa. Well look man, this car right here is like the Mona Lisa of the drift world. Han rebuilt this bad-boy from ground up. We talkin forged pistons, bigger turbo, new rise, new crankshaft, plastic engine cover. Hey man, Han's labour ain't cheap, you feel me?

I put it in there cuz its fast and furious, gajin

[titenate]

I might consider rerouting that exhaust.

sweet car though.

[SadPotato]

Fucking awesome!

[ilovecoupes]

clean swap, and it sounds sick

[mejum]

your engine bay is amazingly clean and the sound is heavenly.

[oNAGAo]

That is absolutely beautiful. I want.

[mugee18]

perfect car balance nice

[GTnumber1]

Genius..Absolutely brilliant...This guy inspired me to make the VQ35 swap on my 2002 Sentra Spec V. I'm getting a VQ engine/6MT Tranny with 55000 miles for $1400.00. Labor will be around $800.

[clutchmaster01]

damn. clean ass fuck

[casefc3s]

jesus that sounds AMAZING!

[ivorton23]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[hatamakoto]

wow it mounted perfectly clean and fit.
