Nissan 300zx engine?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #15042 of 15057 |
Hello
I am still in the early stages of my clubman build which has halted for some
time due to being unable to decide on which engine to put in and the price of a
newer engine.
I have been offered a nice vg30dett 300zx twin turbo engine with wiring loom,
ecu etc for free and was wondering whether i should use this.

If i use this i can move along with my build and finish the chassis to fit the
engine, or else i have to wait a long time before i can afford to purchase a
newer engine.

I was after some advice as to whether i would be causing myself a lot more drama
down the track in regards to emissions etc. or should this engine be reasonably
ok in that regard?

Thanks for advice
Joel

G'day Joel, I've been for a ride in a +100 Locost with VG30DE and it certainly did go a bit, the owner Peter wanted to put the TT Version in it but I...
