Would be appropriate and fitting since to sport this swap in a 240 requires a bulldog, and probably a set of cajones to match the monster mayhem that will result!

Any Idea on the eta for the s14 swap kits? If you need a s14 for R&D I would be willing to help locate one for you guys to have imported.

HOWEVER- if there is someone who is willing to send their car to me in Bahrain, I will design and do the swap with VG30DETT/5MT for $7,500.00. The shipping of the car to bahrain and back is $1,500.00, roughly. For $7,500.00, you will get the complete VG swap, as well as some of my other parts (side braces, crossbars, suspension goodies). I got a lot more to say on this, so if you are seriously interested, hit me up at the e-mail address.

so im guessing u guys at 180sxfactory used custom Power sterring lines, vacuum/brake booster lines, fuel lines, rad hoses, clutch line, Throttle cable, radistor hoses and basically anything with fluid in it that connects to the motor. right???

KA-T why settle for anything less?

Anyway, I'll still do my own once I get an S14 to rip into.

As for updates- without a doubt. Once I'm up and running on NICO as a vendor in September (I'm on vacation right now in Thailand), I'll be able to talk more freely about this kit, as well as my other products I make for the S13. NICO is the place for me to communicate with you all, as well as to get feedback. The folks who end up with 180SX FAKTORY WERKS products, I am hoping that they will provide feedback. I, for one, thrive on honesty and candid talk, and it is only through that form of communication can improvement and refinement occur. As you can tell from my business site, I am very niche in what I do. Not too many companies out there are into just one line up of cars. I don't expect to get rich off of this company, monetarily. I just want to get rich on knowledge and information to pass on to all, as well as to receive. Money doesn't drive me, but pure passion from the heart, and humbleness to even be within the community of Nissan S13-S15 fuels and guides it. Again, thank you...

I would also like a price for the kit, and a date when you think youll be churning them out. My S13 begs me for own everyday freeflowdiablo@gmail.com..... keep us updated with ANY info/thoughts you have

centerforce clutch x aem c.a.i x straight pipe borla exhuast x se alloys x pioneer speakers x pioneer mp3/wma head unit x 180 power folding mirrors x full leather s14 interior x 2 10" kicker subs x sony amp x brand new quarter/hatch glass =
"bOOst's" 92 s13 hb <3

not much as of now motorwise, but you try being 16 and save for a swap as well as pay for the car and all upgrades/insurance independently...

I am very impressed by what I have seen so far. I am a huge Z32 fan and I own a 96 twin turbo along with 2 1990 twin turbo parts cars. The 240 is my daily driver and I've always toyed with the VG idea, just so I can be consistant with all my cars . I don't do any major work on my cars since I lack the tools, facility, and know-how involved to do a swap. This kit will definitely make things easier for my friend who has done all my mechanic work and twin cam/5spd conversion on my 240. He will not touch a VG in a Z, but I know he'll think differently with one going in an S13. Before I wrecked my 1990 300zx, it screamed at 17 psi on the stock turbos. I can't even imagine what that will be like in my 240. You have a future customer here if I can convince my mechanic to do it.

Thanks for being impressed ! As I said in a few threads ago, this swap puts the S13 into a whole entirely different category. The closest I can put it is it is like a Z32 with massive weight reduction, and for the faint of heart, I wouldn't recommend it unless you've got the cajones and a donut for your neck because this thing will inflict whiplash

If your mechanic can put legos together, then he can definitely do this swap, since I have taken all the hard stuff out of the equation. Timeframe to do the swap in the hands of a competent person is one solid day provided all the prep work has been completed for doing a swap. My thoughts are that before even putting the engine in, one may as well go ahead and replace the normal consumables like clutch, water pump, timing belt, as well as inspect the front for wear and tear (steering boots, bushings, et al). You can figure another day to do the wiring and tuning, unless you are getting a VG30DETT with a known history. The dash wiring is cake

EDIT: Is there any way to keep the AC? I have a guy who has made custom lines for me for my twin cam swap since I have a 1990 and I'm using the twin cam compressor, and I'm sure he could make some for this swap. The oil filter seems to be in the way, and I'm guessing it isn't that easy or you guys would have done it.
EDIT2: haha sorry. Just read the first post.

He said he would definitely do it with this kit. I'll make sure to put a lot of new parts on while the motor is out. My car was running great, but the turbos had high miles, so it'll be time for an upgrade . The most work and money will be spent on insuring that the motor will be reliable. I'm getting really excited about this now. The 240 community is always open to new swap ideas, since there are already so many available, and the engine bay is so versatile. There are some skeptics out there, but we'll show them. EDIT: Is there any way to keep the AC?

I'm already ahead of you on the oil filter. The oil filter relocator kit that comes with the master kit comes with a fitting to plug into the stock filter location due to the placement of the stock filter area and the subframe. You having the Z32, you know how much of a pain it is to just do an oil change.

As for the A/C compressor/lines, I can hook them up and run the A/C. If you notice the oil filter relocator, you can mount it any place you want, granted if you have the clearance. I chose that spot for no obvious reason.

Anyway, thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm not doing this swap to win friends, but as you know, to give the S13 community something more to think of instead of the normal.

You can get the headlights on eBay .

They're like $162.00 a pair. Just go to eBay and search for "S13 head lamps". Basically, they are knock-offs of East Bear (who stole the idea from RE Amemiya back in the day), but they work the same and are a lot less expensive. In this day and age, if the item works, and it is of good construction, why not go with a no-name? I'm beyond the label whore thing when it comes to aesthetics. There's things I won't chince out on (safety and internal/external performance), and there are things I will (exterior/non-hazardous items), as long as it is made well. Happy shopping!

$1500 for the kit??? Is that our nico price? Is their shipping on it?? I'd liek to do my own brackets myself. But would rather just buy the kit so no headaches and I've had enough of those with my Ka-T Available for purchase yet??

Late September, my friend, and the price that's on the site is for everybody. I am not making big money off of it or my other products. It's one of those things where if it's priced too high, nobody would buy it, and if it's priced too low, I'm not covering my overhead and I may as well not do it. I gotta pay the grocery bill for two other guys. Shipping should be approx. $125 with insurance.

Oh! On a separate note, when I posted 300 bhp from VG30DETT with 5MT, that is for Japan spec. For the US spec VG30DETT with 5MT, it's 320 bhp.

That is extremely good news. I can put a lot more money into the motor now knowing that shipping isn't going to cost an arm and a leg.

Btw, you are incorrect on your info. Both Japanese and US spec motors are 300 bhp with the manual tranny.

Anyway, good luck getting everything finalized.

300 bhp- roger that ! Still a lot more than with a stock KA/CA/SR/RB (except 26).

Like a glove :

hey what kind of wheels are those???
