As a certified nissan tech, I'll tell you working on those vg30dett's can be a complete -----! BUT.. they are great cars. I love driving them, and they got some decent power from the factory.

good luck dude!

Well my friend got his for like $3500 but it was in bad shape. Most of the damage was comestic interior ,frt torn ,fender dented ,blah ,blah ,blah. Luckily the engine was in great condition and the turbos spool are loud as ---- ,sounds a ------ evil banshee or the reaper about to take a soul ;). We are almost done just need a little body work ,paint and some electric work and BAM.

YES, very sweet looking and I think we can all say they have no room to work in... I've had a few experiences with them and dang, pisses me off >:(

I love those cars though, hear they are just great to drive.

they are not impossible to find i see them all the time moreso than the supra turbo now those cars are hard to find. my dad has a 300z it is hell after 100.00 miles and wait till you have to change the timing belt its sure not like a honda

Re:What's red, has twin turbos, and is sitting in my driveway?
 
Anybody ever heard of a possible RB25DET or RB26DETT (Skyline engines) into a 300zx like yours? I would think that'd be fun; you would have more engine space (if it would fit, front to back length) than that V6, and it can handle the high boost better. Would that be a 300Zline? SkyZX? dang fast, anyways.

funny its the opposite here. i see supra turbos but not z's. im in the los angeles area so this is obviously a regional thing

Re:What's red, has twin turbos, and is sitting in my driveway?
 
If it hasn't already been done CHANGE THE TIMING BELT!!!!!!! If it breaks the engine goes with it, besides that they are great cars. Is it auto or stick? Or could you even get the TT with an auto trans?

um trading a v6 for an i6 is retarded

Let's swap motors. You give me the VG30 and i'll give you my L28.

Traitor.

.... and fawk Jim Wolf. You see what he charges for ECU retunes/recurves that need to be AFC-corrected?? I'm fairly certain Mike already has a daughterboard on the way for his ECU and will be DIY. :>

Re:What's red, has twin turbos, and is sitting in my driveway?
 
There's a lot to be said for L28 power. Around here, you see a few 12 second old school z-cars with turbo and nitrous and when they blow, it's about a fifty-dollar affair to be back on the road. Maybe a just like the way I6 engines sound...

Re:What's red, has twin turbos, and is sitting in my driveway?
 
My motor has never given me any ----, and it has hella mileage. Almost 200k and still running like a champ.
