if it is really from a GT500 skyline.... then its probably a 3.2 and puting out a good 500hp..... and... you know... worth 30-60k but... a VQ30DET-T from a gloria... well thats probably a good 900 bucks...

I have a VQ30DETT. There is a sopt on the valve cover that says VQ30DETT seriel 001 in those words. I know it is all aluminum because I can lift it with another persons help. The motor is assembled as well. I will get some pics up soon. When I was reserching this motor I found that it was never a production engine but only used in the GT500 cars from 2003-2006. I know the vq30det was in the glorias, but this engine is marked as vq30dett. The engine also has the signs of a race motor like the dry-sump. The person that I got the engine from has had it for a long time, and is in some kind of position with Nissan. I know pictures will tell all. I will get some up tonight. O and the guy I got the engine from knows it had some kind of racing history. But I do know it is a VQ30DETT it says it right on the valve cover.

the jgtc engines were 3.2's like irax said, so im not quite sure what youve got on your handsi cant think of any other cars that would use anything close to the jgtc engines either, the prototypes from the late 90s all had small displacement v8's, the nissan engined prototypes here ran alms gt2 with turbo 4's, super taikyu runs engines developed from vq35s and sr20s, etc etc...not sure

i was actually trying to look that up thinking about this, i dont know the bore/stroke of the vq30 or 35 off the top of my head, they could be destroked 35s, or they could be bored and/or stroked 30s, and the latter might explain the namebut all specs ive seen about the car have always called the engine a vq32dett, and you cant look up anything current because theyve been running the vk's, and the new gt-r is going to retain that engine, so any info you find on vq powered gt500 cars will be from archives

I know wikipedia is not always right, but if you look up vq30dett on wikipedia it says this, The twin-turbo VQ30DETT is an engine used in Nissan's race cars, primarily in the Super GT (formerly the JGTC). First used on the Skyline GT-R race cars during the 2003 season, this engine currently powers the Fairlady Z race cars - homologation rules allow them to use the VQ30DETT in lieu of the stock VQ35DE. Race output of this engine is estimated at around 480 PS (473 hp/353 kW).It is fitted to the following vehicles:
2003–present Skyline GT-R JGTC race cars
2004–present Fairlady Z JGTC race cars
2005–present Fairlady Z Super GT race cars
2006–present Fairlady Z Super GT race cars

Just because it is wrong about the super gt cars doesnt automatically make everything else wrong
and if it was a 3.2l then more then likely would have said VQ32DETT

thats what i was thinkingbut the only other place i can think of a vq30dett would be drag racing, because no other nissan engined racecar runs a twin turbo VQ, anywhere but i dont know enough about drag racing to tell you if thats where it came from

If it was a 3.2L it would have been a VQ32DETT. Why do you guys think it was 3.2L?

The simplest way to make a VQ32 is to use VQ30 crank and rods with VQ35 pistons and block. Basically a de-stroked VQ35. If they were to stroke a VQ30, they would probably use VQ35 crank and rods with VQ30 pistons and block, but that would produce a 3.3L engine....

Dang once again another night tunning(making it driveable) the new suspension. I am officially finished making my care driveable again, so now I can snap some shots to give you all a better idea of what this engine could be.

It looks like a non-factory made sticker. It was probably just confused with VG30DETT...

And also check out the front of the engine, it does not look like a street car motor. And also nissan made the vg as well. This motor does not look like a vG30dett.

I never said that this engine isn't a VQ and I know that the block has "VQ30" stamped on it. I just said that whoever made that little white sticker (maybe a junkyard) probably confused the engine with a VG30DETT, but they knew it was a VQ?? I don't know why that sticker is there, I'm just trying to make a justifiable reason why it's there because I know that engine is not a turbo VQ race motor.

No, the front of the engine, aka timing chain cover, doesn't look like a race motor. It looks exactly like a FWD Maxima VQ30. It even has bolt holes in the timing chain cover for a FWD engine mount. I never said that it looks like a VG30DETT, but I know that there's morons out there who get these things confuse.

The person I got the motor from said he did not know exactly, but he thinks it was from open wheel racing(he said indy car). I know nissan probably never had an indycar motor. I will take the valve covers off and take pics of the cams.

I also know when a factoy makes a race motor they use factory blocks and some esthetic parts. I also know the person I got the motor from does not know what it is. Is there a place I can run the numbers stamped into it? I will take pics of the cams because they could reveal alot about the engine. If the guy will let me I might be able to take the heads off as well.

You're right. That's a maxima VQ30DE. Look at the LH valve cover...Someone must have confused it with the VG30DETT.

It really looks like the VQ30det i have. It's from a Nissan Cedric originally bound for the US. That way, it would still look like a VQ with all the markings on the block saying so. It's a tubo built engine and only depends if they run the larger stock single on the LH side of the engine with the RH bank running around the back. Too many people i speak to start talking about the VG30dett rather than the VQ30det... I'm building mine as a VQ30det+t. A guy in WA has managed to get 500hp atw in his R32 skyline on stock internals. I would be supprised if it is not a VQ30det to be honest.
