talk to boostedzed (the guy from unique auto sports). he seems to have a thing for 300zx's and UAS does rebuilds for these motors frequently it seems. he would probably have access to dimensions and mounting points.

if you successfully put one in where an rb20 used to live that would be a pretty interesting swap.

ALOT of midrange punch compared to an rb20....

One thing comes to mind........ HEADACHE!!!

It would be an awsome conversion given the wieght of an R32, I have herd of it being done with a 33. But it would be a big MO FO of a Job. Ever seen how packed a Zed's engine bay is?? I'am sure that it would be more viable to do a Rb26 swap IMO.

I know someone with an S13 Silvia with a VG30DET in it. Has some mods like a Trust TD-06 turbo, upgraded fuel system, intercooler, 20psi boost etc, makes over 250rwkw... the thing is an absolute monster ... if it didnt have quite so much traction issues itd definately give quite a few unmodified/lightly modified GTR's a run for their money :)

from the looks of it, extremely difficult. Theres no room in the engine bay whatsoever, the bonnet had to me modified (has what looks like a BA XR8 bonnet hump on it) to accomodate the cam covers... its a damn big engine squeezed into a damn small car...

But im sure it could be done again, but it would involve money and time, as long as youve got both youre set. The engine was out of a Nissan Lepord (sp?) as I dont think the VG30DETT would fit in much besides the 300ZX (double the amount of piping).

I might see him out tonight, if I do ill have a talk to him and see where it was done, what it involved etc if you like.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
