VG30DETT into 1989 240SX

Post by **Florida240sx** » Thu Oct 26, 2006 12:25 pm

Going to be fun to modify the 4wd though won't it? 1st to make it work and the 2nd how hard is it going to be to switch the ratio so you could actually use it on the highway.

4.5L has a1.7* rod stroke ratio. the stock redline in a q45 is 7200.

Stock redline in an R33 GTR is 8000 rpm

So it's AWD then not 4wd......??? When you plan on doing it? I was suppose to be ordering my VG kit but they have gone silent....

When I pickup my new Miller syncrowave 200 welder.

Why don't you guys try to get to him at his website? He's a sponsor/advertiser with a shop and all, so he shouldn't be too hard to reach...

Post by **Florida240sx** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 1:05 pm

Yea but when he has 5 customers here waiting for the release, we shouldn't have to track him down. He was all helpful up until 2 weeks ago. He has yet to post the video of it in action

I'm starting to get kind of worried to, I guess I'll just have to make my own mounts. (If I can just find the time)

I agree. Maybe there's a good explanation (emergency?).

Let's wait it out a bit...

Everybody. My apologies for falling off for a few weeks. As some of you who know me, I am an American and a military guy for that matter. I'm based out of Bahrain. I am on the end of my time with the military, and I am retiring here in Bahrain (May 07), culminating over 20 years.

I was pulled back into "the game" for a few weeks to fill in for someone in Iraq. That's all I can say. The work I do sometimes calls for "disappearing" and non-comms with outside world. Figure it out. That may make some of you uncomfortable. I can understand that. Now, I am picking up where I left off. I'll be back in town this weekend.

Those who are still interested, e-mail me. I do have the links to the video shoots to get from the driver of VG240 and the other stuff.

Again, apologies.

Dale

I figured it had to be an emergency. Glad to see you're ok after your "filling in".

[email protected] for vids. Thanks.

Post by **fayceoff** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 3:05 pm

Hoo-yah. I was kinda wondering if that was what was up, but I didn't know if you were active or what... Glad you made it back safe. See you in March.

I'm going to go hardcore into my Z projects for the next few months. I'll be back to purchase the kit after that. Good luck with everything.

Hey whats up and congrats on the kit.Ive read this entire thread and very intrested in your kit BUT there are a few factors that would make or break my decesion that i need answered.first is what is the balance of the car? i think you answered this but im not sure second is what is the total weight gained,weight for the front of the car and rear of te car and overhall weight of te car versues the stock 240.kinda like a side by side comparsion.this is VERY critical information that i need since im not using the car for drag racing.Also will post up any videos of the care drifting or doing any roadcourse work. email me at [email protected] for videos if not. thanks!!

So what would be the differences/what would need to be modified to your setup to fit a VG in a 180sx/Silvia?The steering rack is in a different position, I know that. Would the install be the same or should I stash away a bit more money for unseen problems.

There shouldn't be differences between JDM and USDM VG30-TT's right?

I'd LOVE to get at this RB25 powered 180sx that's terrorizing EVERYONE right now

Not just a V6, a twin turbo V6.
