But i'm bringing this car hard 2011, fresh paint, new kicks, and a freshly rebuilt motor.

I had that same problem with the guy swearing my clutch was brand new, smh not even close I had to buy a new one. If you sell those rims I might be interested they look good.

tryangle · 10-25-2010, 07:06 PM

This is a really nice build love the suspension swap and the new power plant is way more wallet friendly in the end.

i've been selling them i want 550 + shipping

Worth every penny. The one front tire has some mild curb rash but is perfectly fine. Tires are still pretty good.

and yes this powerplant will pay for itself in the long run, parts and stuff are a lot cheaper, and Its easier to work on if I NEED to do something to it.

I'm going to try to keep this car a long as possible.

itwillboost · 10-25-2010, 11:27 PM

I gotta get the spindles for the 5 speed swap but if I can get them for a decent price I am down. And if you ever need any engine stuff I have 4 spare ka's lol.

Future_gohan · 10-26-2010, 06:13 PM

haha I have enough ka parts laying around. But just let me know they're coming off the car pretty soon.

Darkvillin · 11-27-2010, 02:45 PM

Future_gohan · 11-27-2010, 02:54 PM

Thank you, hopefully everyone can recognize it next year when its white

fyneyoungstunna · 12-07-2010, 08:55 PM

any way around the custom oilpan sump?
also if your much in the Christmas spirit wanna pm me the details of wiring for this swap?
ill put a bumpersticker with your name on it on my Z.....

Tantwoforty · 12-07-2010, 09:10 PM

nah there isint any way around the custom sump with ka into a z32

on another note if your doing a VG into a 240 you just need a j30 oil pan and sump.

and the wireing is pretty simple, use a KA ecu and a KA harness. all you gotta do it look at the pinout and make sure all the 12 volts are correct (switched and non switched) make sure all the gorunds are correct and wire in the tach and IGN.
then troubleshoot. and thats prety much it.
the 90's era nissan ecu's are quite simple to transplant.
I.E sr20 into a honda delsol. wireing only look like 2 hrs, cake mode.
you just need a pinout for the ecu and a full wireing diagram for the Z and the 240 and the VG, a good logic probe and a vold meter.
just do some line follwing and its not to hard.

bardabe · 12-08-2010, 11:08 AM

my only question is, Why?

Awesome swap, Mike. I didn't think you'd actually go through with it since you're always changing your mind, haha.

that i can't do, if i did all my work would be useless figuring it out. But I can do the harness threw my shop.

@tant - yes, theres no way around the custom oil pan, the sump sits directly on the crossmember with the motor mounts i made.

with the vg, even with a j30 oil pan(which i have) you still need to modify it some to clear the crossmember correctly. and I will be using a vg30 harness and just modifying it to work on a 240, because theres an igniter and coil packs, making a 240 harness work would be pointless.

@rhs - yeah, I know i change my mind a lot, I want everything, but you can't have everything, so i change my setups often, but my 240 is the last chassis i'll own for drifting for a long time, and i'll be keeping the vg30 in there for a long time, as for this z, I don't know whats going to happen to it.

if i keep it its getting my 18x10/18x11 wheels and a fresh paint job, if i don't keep it, i'm getting a 350z, that's the only car i'd switch too.

Future_gohan · 12-22-2010, 08:22 PM

Okays, heres the update.

I have my wheels, not installed yet but shortly(18x10s).

I purchased an act stage 3 unsprung clutch.

shortly ordering my headgasket so i can install my built ka head.

Once all that's done and installed, i'm sending my knuckles and lcas to powered by max for some hardcore modifications, to have a z with the most angle ever ever.

and ordering they're coilovers hopefully.

Then its going for paint and getting new fenders and an oem front bumper

then getting it retuned so its more reliable.

the end. pictures soon. just wanted to give everyone a heads up
