There are many sites that sell VG30DETT's, one of NICO's sponsors (www.jdm-online.com) is even selling one right now.

Regardless where in the world you are (US, Japan, Australia, etc)

Non-turbo Z32 engine = VG30DE

Twin Turbo Z32 engine = VG30DETT

The Fairlady Z name is just the name the Z is given over in Japan. But they are the same Z's as we get. Nissan (well, it was actually Mr. K that changed the name) didn't like the name "Fairlady Z" for the US market back when they brought the 240Z to the US, so they changed the name from Fairlday Z to 240Z for the US market. Otherwise, all the Z's in Japan are named Fairlady Z.

acyutally the correct origional japanese market name is "Fairlady", named after the old movie "My Fair Lady" Mr. K decided ti was too feminine and rebadged the Fairlady as the 240Z and history was made, "Fairlady Z" is the result of people adding the 2 names together no Z was intended to eb in the name, but Mr. K felt it was bold and powerful sounding
