72 327 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well I have the 72 610 with a 327 sbc in it and then I just brought this home today. It has a JDM I think skyline 4 door motor in it. Bigger turbos, 500cc injectors, and chipped currently in need of a serious tuning. All leather. Its a 91 300zx TT Quote Link to comment
521Lvr Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 very clean looking. nice find. how do you intend to tune it? I mean besides mechanical stuff. what computer programs and such? Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have a buddy that lives close by. He has done many 300zx's. Its going to be a custom chip so I can pass smog (california) and be able to open it up and play a bit. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 well if its a skyline motor its a straight 6 which im not sure would fit.. but probobly would, unless its from the g35 style "skylines" either way take pics of engine bay PLEASE! ;) Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 pictures of engine? we can tell ya that it is in a heartbeat! TTs are fun, my buddy is almost done with his build, goal of 1200whp I think, we had 450ish on all stock engine, LOADS of fun Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 If its a turbo(S) engine then it would be an RB26DETT. Very expensive engine. Or maybe the previous owner just likes to throw around the term 'JDM' a lot like it means it has something extra in it. A JDM engine in a Datsun truck usually means an L18 which is weaker than the US market L20b. :) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i dont like buying things that were just "thrown together" altho if it does have an rb26dett that would be pretty sweet and jdm could also simply mean the old engine blew like the vg's usualy do and he just ordered one from japan Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 It looks just like the stock motor. I'll call the guy tomorrow to find out what motor it is. I sure its just a stock replacement. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 a stock replacement would not be a skyline motor it would be a vg30dett which would be a stock 300zx z32 engine, which is a good engine :) all engines have they're pro's and con's Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 you guys are forgetting the new skyline motor, the v6 version, common in our infinity models, thats what a skyline is in japan, not as cool as a r34 skyline, but still whatever floats the boat. nice z32 by the way, post pix of the engine bay and we shall see.

lynchfourtwenty Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 well if its a skyline motor its a straight 6 which im not sure would fit.. but probobly would, unless its from the g35 style "skylines" either way take pics of engine bay PLEASE! ;) i didnt forget that... but the cost of that would be ALOT so i didnt think it'd be that one although anythings possible.. but that would make that z32 worth ALLLLLOOT of money!! vq35dett MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's probably a JDM engine from a "fairlady" which would be the same as the stock 300zx vg30dett as te Twin Turbo cars came with stateside. Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 does anybody know where the numbers are on the block that would say what block it is? As if I was going to be able to find them in that engine bay. Theres no room to do sheeet in there... Ill get pics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 yep, pics Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 UPDATED Pics!!! I found out the motor is from a SEMA? same block as the ZX with slightly bigger rods. Its a single turbo sedan in Japan. But all the z parts went back on so its twin again.. And my friend is Vernon from Raver Motor Sport in Visalla, Ca he is the bulider of the car that currently holds the land speed record on a full body z. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 The engine serial # for the VG30 is on the block, below the rear of the right cylinder head. Good friggin' luck seein' that!! Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 nice, not a skyline engine.. but still nice Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 vg30dett auto tragic? looks like it still has the super-hycas 4ws setup. fun little car Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 so is the 4ws system good? Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 BTW i found out that its a SEMA motor same basic block but bigger rods. JDM yes but not a skyline. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 nice nice, either way.. bet its FAST! Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Its fast but I think if I could get my trucks HP on the ground it would be faster. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 The 4 wheel steering is said to be very good for keeping the rear from comming around (oversteer) on high speed turning. I've never driven a Z32 though. Its only found on the turbo Z32. :) The car looks good. Quote Link to comment
