1972 240z S30 VG30DET (Very Good 30) Build Thread

Hello again, for those who know me or have seen my builds yes another damn project. For those that dont know me, a few of my build are on this forum.

Here is one of my current builds:

Recently aquired a 1972 240z with 108,112 miles.

Having an new extra vg short block laying around and a set of cima heads and manifolds, I decided to swap the vg into a s30.
Borgwarner s200sx
Looking for around 550-600hp.

Heres my list so far:
Stock motor with ported cima heads and jwt springs
Relocate position of turbo from driver to pass. side (not enough room to keep on driver side)
Aeromotive fpr
Walbro 485 pump
-6 feed and return line
ID1000 injectors
Borgwarner T4 turbo
Custom top feed fuel rail
Turbosmart wastegate
Greddy Profec B boost controller (Old School baby)
R32 gtr front brakes calipers with custom bracket (I will be running 16" so I will try to fit the largest rotor in them).
Custom intake manifold with q45 throttle body
Had a pair of ARC z32 intercoolers laying around that I will have modified to a single.
z32 master cylinder and possibly pedal
z32 clutch master and possibly pedal
possibly z32 diff installed
HKS Sport z32 Muffler
Magnaflow 59959 Catalytic converter ( Im kind of a tree hugger)

The paint on the car will be redone. I purchased a new center console, new seals from black dragon and a bre rear spoiler.

The respray will be porsche's carrera white

Where im at now:

Motor motors with urethane have been made, transmission mount has been prototyped ( This along with a few other pieces will be made out of billet aluminum), shifter bracket done, Oil cooler bracket made, ic done. The turbo just got in yesterday ( Borg Warner Airwerks S200SX-51 aka s251), T4 twinscroll flange, the fuel rail stock came in as well. Next will be the exhaust manifold, then exhaust.

very nice i though about this swap but with the regular z32 engine not the cima one. I avoided it for weight reasons and no time to make the mounts. please keep this post updated. very cool.

Any info about the wheels in the grey z32 in the background of one of those pics?

Nismo LMGT1, photo of the wheels are in my other build thread

Want to sell the lmgt1? Specs? Pm me

My guy is back in town and was back to working on my car. Got the turbo manifold complete, and now he is working on the fuel rail and intake manifold.

Another Update: Soda blasted the engine bay and got 2 coats of basecoat before the clear goes on.

On the to do list:
Rebuild steering rack
Firewall bulkhead for heater core and AC
Powder coat/Zinc/Anodize Metal parts ( IC piping/crossmember/all suspension parts/ exhaust)
Custom Radiator support made and welded in
Fuel tank ( from a fuel injected Z)
Fuel lines ran
Modify new 300zx efi harness

Man goal is to get everything ready as i have my tuner coming out on t6/12/15 to tune my other z and would like to have this one up and running to get tuned too.

I will focus on the exterior and interior after the tuning is complete.

Very cool. Different. I'll be following this one.

Part off to be Powder coated, zinc or anodized.

Thats pretty awesome stuff man. Different for sure, I like it

Interesting build. Subbed!

I also have an build thread on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/1015618771783716/

I've always thought the S200SX and the VG would make a great pair! Looking forward to the results of this build.

I will be running the adaptronic in my 240z build!!! I love this ecu in my 1000+rwhp z32, that the decision to run it in my 240z was a no brainer. Should have this bad boy up in running within a month. Stay tuned as this will start to progress pretty fast.

Im going to put everything together for the tuning, and then take most of it apart to do some cleaning up of things ( Wiring, heater core, AC, power steering, interior, body work)

Last thing on the list to get is a driveshaft.

Car on the lift ready for some work.

Finally in the garage for the "rough" assembly. Will be putting the car together of the next few weeks to get it ready for the dyno day in mid/late August. After tune, body work and interior, and re-powdercoat. Going with a different color.

it was on sale when i purchased for 2k. It does come with free shipping to your house.

Do the lift posts not secure to the ground? I'd be scared of it tipping over when the car is in the air.
