I saw a infiniti m30 the other day and it seems to resemble the s13 a little. Are these fast good handling cars? Any swapable parts? I read they have a 6 cyl.

No resemblance. I believe the M30 was based on the Stanza platform.

What engine do they have? VG30E.... and what does that mean?

VG30ET Z31 300ZX Swap!And I know it's possbile because my friends dad just took the VG30E out of my friends wrecked Z31 and put it in his friends M30. I was actually contemplating doing that, the only reason I didn't was because M30's are still a little expensive, and they are a little on the heavy side.

It's called a leopard in Japan and come with the VG in both 2.0 and 3.0 liter, rear wheel drive. I beleive a lot of parts swap over from the Z31, if you could get it cheap it would be something different with a lot of potential. I have seen RBs dropped in these here, something to ponder.

So if I put an engine from a Z300 (automatic) in my M30 would I also get the HP? or would I lose it because of the car's weight?Would I have to change transmissions too?

How can I go about switching from Sonar Suspension to standard (less costly yet comparable or superior) shocks and struts... any info would help... Thanks :help
