i wonder if its worth the money, ithink i'll stay stock with the wire harness just the same. i haven't done much so far to my car its sitting in the drive way with no heart in it . it's enogh to make you want to cry. why does everything i try to work on have to become so complex lol. i'm looking into parts and i think i can use a j30 oil pan off a maxima, i think it matches. i know a place to order my wire harness from and i'm looking into a guy to biuld me motor mounts, then when thats done all i need to worry about is the tranny. i also need to buy some bolts and misc. parts for the engine. just little things. if anyone could does anyone know of a website that has exploded images of the 2 engines i'm swaping?

Look at the swap your doing it's not an easy one lol you picked a pretty hard swap to begin with now had you gone with like a ca18det or sr then that would be a whole different animal...Good luck with the swap I have yet to see a vg30de s12 running...

yeah he has a good point, if you didn't want problems, this was the wrong swap to try  Will the engine fit? Probably, but all the little bullshit details to sort out... no thanks for me, but good luck for you!

Well guys its been a long time. i haven't been on in months cause my car has been going no where. I was getting to the point that i was gonna throw in an old 360 small block in it but i have refrained and will now be finally starting in full speed ahead on getting my "200zx" under way i'll have pictures on how its going in no time. I find myself with alot more time to work on this do to my losing my job and my new found source of project funds unemployment. So give me about a week and i'll have some interesting pics
