The Z32 is a fantastic looking car but the VG is garbage.
With a V8 it finally has the potential it should’ve had from factory
Please enlighten how an engine that was used successfully in different variants throughout nearly 30 years of production, proven in off road competition conditions, on race tracks, and in daily duty on the streets all over the world is garbage? This is a horribly uninformed and one sided comment, you really must have had one bad experience with a VG or heard your buddy's shade tree mechanic uncle talking down on the VG while leaning on his fox body like he's vanilla ice.
The VG (both in i, E and DE variants) is one of the most stout (safely produces 500CHP RELIABLY on a stock block), over-engineered (will make RELIABLE 4-digit power with only upgraded rods and pistons while on stock heads/cams/valves), well built (see two previous examples), and lasting engines (millions of Z31s, Z32, D21s, WD21, R50, D22, J30, A32, Y32. . . . ) to come out of the 90s are still on the roads of the world today with 200, 300, 400, 500k miles (that is 1M km for our metric readers). By most standards of performance and reliability it still competes within its class of engines today. A stock VG (NA or FI) with factory recommended maintenance and normal use is almost guaranteed to last well over 200k miles. Even 180hp SBC 350s cannibalize their own internals at that mileage.
