Im looking into getting a VG30DETT to swap into my 2+2 NA 91 Nissan 300zx. I was looking for any suggestions on reliable places to acquire the engine and parts for full swap. Ive seen one onhttp://www.jdmenginescorp.com/engines/nissan and it seems to come with everything. New tran and everything. But I was unsure if I could still use my drive shaft. I know the 2+2 models are longer and I was unaware if that also met different lengths in drive shafts. If anyone has any info on this particularly that would be awesome. Also any info on swaps in general. Thank you my Z brothers.

It doesn't include everything you need. thats just the engine and transmission. You'll still need the turbo piping the intercoolers etc. You should probably try to find a Front Clip from Z1 or Concept Z. and as long as your current transmission is the same thing thats going in (auto or manuel) then you don't have to change the driveshaft.

Thanks Birdman. Yea I noticed the lack of intercoolers. A friend of mine has a front mount he said he'd give me but im thinking of getting some stock intercoolers and piping to avoid the cost of getting custom piping for the frontmount. And I still havn't made up my mine weather or not a should cough up the extra cash to swap to the manual trans too. Still working my budget.
