Well, many have already treaded that path with LS-1, and not only in our camp. We see RX-7s running around with LS-1. VG30DETT "uncompromised" is new territory, and that's why we went that direction. Impossible or hard is only just an obstacle to get over, and we did. Nissan is Nissan, and their forte is with smaller displacement. GM was forever large displacement, but they have made huge inroads into the small displacement arena, as we have seen with ECOTEC. Nissan pricing for OEM parts- I don't even wanna go there, as you state, it's ridiculous.

Yes my whole front 1/2 cut of a 300zxTwinTurbo from Japan cost me $2500 from http://www.venus-auto.com. I would ONLY suggest getting a front clip. If you are trying to piece a working engine, intercooler setup then you WILL spend WAY too much money. Parts alone will kill bankrupt you. With a front clip like I purchased, you will get everything "used" that you will need to perform a swap (into an NA 300zx that is) along with the kit that 180SXfaktory is offering.

One question though, Can a 300zx subframe be modified to fit with the 240SX engine bay? Wouldn't that be an easier fit in the VG30DETT? Those subframes and 300zx driveshafts are plentiful in the junkyards.

Here is a pick of my front clip...

We tried the subframe, but it doesn't line up and the front sway bar is impacted. The driveshaft length is not the same. Yes, I wish it was that easy, but as I stated, this kit of ours makes it the first of its kind. That probably explains why there is so much excitement over this. Believe me, I never expected to see so much enthusiasm over it!

KA-T why settle for anything less?

No, it does not.

Clean means nothing canceled. Pictures being taken tonite. We've got the transmission out for clutch swap, so this allows me to get good pics of Y-pipe we got made, the back of the turbos, oil filter access port, etc. It's been busy lately.

I got enough for the kit....if my truck sells thne I have enough for the engine and misc..f not then I got to wait a month for my front clip to arrive anywayz so I will just not eat and have the money

Hello again! Man, I don't want you guys giving up eating... That just sux!

Because we have Ramadan coming up this Sunday, things will slow down a bit. Everyday for approximately a month (time of the new moon cycle), devout Muslims will follow the practice of fasting and abstaining from even drinking water from the time the sun comes up until the sun sets. Believe me, the practice will drain you and "normal" life practices such as eating, drinking and recharging the body can only take place in the evening after "Iftar" (partaking in the first meal after prayer). This means my operations will have to adjust to evening hours because I simply cannot get anything done in the daytime. I must honor and respect this practice.

This works in favor of those of you who want the kit, but need to source the funds, swap, essential parts, etc. I will release the kit after Ramadan ends next month.

A few have asked of video of the car in action. We will be filming the car during drift and drag sessions in the evening at Bahrain International Circuit. The car right now is undergoing a clutch swap and a 5-lug conversion, Z32 brake conversion which started last nite. I want to document everything and present it to you so that you can see and judge for yourself how this car operates prior to releasing the kit. This video will be released within the next two weeks.

A few of you may be disappointed, but please don't be. Those of you who truly want this kit, please write to me at postmaster@180sxfaktory.com and I will knock $100 off the list price in observance of Ramadan (Ramadan also includes observance of giving people a break and helping others) and will include laminates. As I stated earlier, USA owners will get free shipping if they state they are NICO members (include your handle). In total, you will save $225 which will allow you to use that money for other things like eating

Thanks for your understanding. Ma'asalama!

Lol I'm trying to sell my truck (and my kouki) to finance the swap to.

180sxfaktory, check email.

Shukran (Thank you) for your patience and kindness! Ramadan Kareem (Happy Ramadan)! Ma'asalama (see you later)!

Instead of knocking off $100 why don't you throw in free driveshafts!!!! That would help out much better!!!

Thanks for your understanding.

You are now, but please send me an e-mail to postmsster@180sxfaktory.com to get on the official list.

Once I have it, that will make 4 people. Anybody else up for 300 hp?

It would probably be a lot like a 300zx with upgraded turbos but with serious traction issues.

No front mount for me, I'm just going to eventualy upgrade to bigger side mounts and maintain a sleeper look , hell I'm even going to keep the the stock recirulation valves so no one will know its turbo untill they get their a$$ handed to them.

Plan to up the boost to get over that 300 mark Email has been sent

Me to.

As far as traction issues with upgraded twins- suspension tuning.

I know the twin GT2530 are good for 600 hp.

The Vg looks more at home in an S chassis than it does in the Z.

I was allways thinking of how bad *** that would be to do that swap. Maby ill try it in my S14..... just maby.....

Thats very inspiring.

THANK YOU

We're still looking for a donor S14 to do the swap on. Maybe U can donate yours
