I would contemplate that myself. S12 is better fitted for an inline 4 motor anyway imo but damn they rip with the vg30 in there. few little tidbits. Still gotta ways to go. The engine has been completed for a while rundown is:
9:1 cr maxima core engine
Full floating pin upgrade/nippon stock bore slugs
z31 rods
stock gaskets, head bolts, etc....
ACL and King bearings
Shimmed maxima reman oil pump
six puck offbrand
Balanced and polished crank
Fresh hone
Lapped valves
Shaved heads
OEM spec'd rings (nippon)
No portwork of any kind. Doing emissions delete on intake now. Just plumed the injectors with new seals and stuff. Slapping the gearbox back together....the usual....
Not in order. I ripped this engine down after test fit and rebuilt it with a few little extra tweaks. She's almost ready to drop in and wire up. This pos pan-o-jank i've been slaving on has taken up alot of time and tbh even in the right shop environment i'd rather have someone else do this for me. Oil pans are no joke.....
Rack mod and angle stuff doings because stupid derft car. Nevermind the suspension. THey were temperary items and will be handled asap.
I've been here for a while. I just lurk. My stuff isn't high class baller enough for the internets and i dont take it seriously enough. lol. Should be back in the game of driving my 240 in october i hope. Because it's not a build thread i recommend doing this:
Use the z32 5 speed (any trim level)
Or use a t5/71c. 71c vg30 bellhousing allows the use of sr, ka, and rb rwd transmissions. I am using STOCK transmission mount location and the intake manifold BARELY clears firewall. I had to beat the lip flat. Gigantic pain in the ass for your average dgaf chill mode hobbyist. It is rumored the s12 crossmember makes this a bolt in affair using s12 or z31 engine mount brackets. I'm just going to weld some bs together and make shit happen.
