yochase Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have started to assemble parts I still need a transmission and a harness. I also need any help and pointers I can gather. I have a vg33er out of an 01 frontier and a computer out of an 89 300zx. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment

jvb5577 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Not a very common swap at all in a 620, so not much information as say a KA. Read the above article, lot of good information. 1 Quote Link to comment
yochase Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks, that is a killer build. It will save me lots of time and money. The old l18 is long gone. Let the pain begin! 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have started to assemble parts I still need a transmission and a harness. I also need any help and pointers I can gather. I have a vg33er out of an 01 frontier and a computer out of an 89 300zx. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Can't see any similarities between a VG33ER and an earlier VG30D or DTT. That 'computer' is no use to you. How well does the exhaust fit with the torsion bars in the way? 1 Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 The last build I saw took a custom oil pan since the VG motor is a front sump. I don't know how critical it is to have a rear sump since my engine (SR20det) is a front sump. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Steering is in the front and there's a cross brace supporting the fronts of the torsion bars. Both kind of in the way forcing the engine higher. 1 Quote Link to comment
yochase Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Jwt is flashing the computer to run my setup it's out of a z31 vg30e not a dohc, the exhaust is the least of my worries.i am using d21 manifolds and they fit like a dream. For the oil pan I am running the z31 pan and moving the cross member forward a little. I got the engine as low as I could. As far as the steering I just flipped the center link over re drilled and sleeved the idler and pitman. 2 Quote Link to comment
