anyone want to start a pool on when we see this as an incomplete project in the For Sale section?
no offense kid, but you are gonna **** away a lot of money on something that is likely not going to work the way you want it. i really don't think you understand what is involved with this swap. save yourself the hassle and money, go with a VG30ET if you want your z31 to be faster. heck, go look in the z32 section and see how much of a pain in the *** it is to swap the TT into an NA z32. thats the same car, and the swap is a royal bitch.

no i wouldnt, they are fairly maxed out from the factory, you can "free up" power and get tehm to make a little more to bring them right around TT numbers, and NOS is cheating and i doubt it would hold LONG. they are strong motors though i will give them that.
o rly?

Yes. Really. Retard.
Or were you being facetious also?
If that's the case, then sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet. Either post a smiley or something to insinuate that you're making fun of someone being stupid.
hoov: you haven't once actually contributed to the Z31 section of this board. At least, not something worth mentioning. Have you or do you even own a Z31? From your posts, it sure doesn't appear it. I don't give a **** if an NA VG30DE has achieved 1,000 hp. The fact still remains that no Z31 owner on this board has actually ever completed a DOHC swap. Mostly because anyone asking for details about how to complete a swap is obviously only smart enough to be able to tie their shoes. Anything beyond that is way out of their league.
A DOHC swap has been done. It's been done a few times over. But not by anyone in the US of A. Why? Because the most common person who buys a Z31 can barely afford a full tank of gas. And that's why I have no issue with my bet.

It's pretty easy to tell since DUE isn't the only word misspelled... HOMEWERK / GURLZ / LEGANDRY.
Everyone else got that joke anyway........ We need a "that went right over your head" smilie.
EDIT
PS... simple comprehension pwns you in this case. (ppss... I spelled PWNS that way on purpose).

Which means a lightly modded n/a will give a stock TT a run for it's money. So, if you put a lightly modded n/a motor in a z31, it'll go pretty good.

i can only get on the computer at my school, and friends house... but im ganna try to bring pics on monday to show all you what i got to do this swap with, even before i got my 300zx i wanted to drop a twin turbo in it, i found an old friend that has done hundreds of swaps.. and auto to manual conversions too... but all muscle, so i really didnt find the twin turbo expert i was looking for but hopfully he can help me make it work?? i got this car from my x girls mom..
96 chrysler they said it need a tranny, so i bought one from cmc for 200.00 and ganna put it in this week or mabey next weekend, i think i can sell it for 2000.00 and i can save up while its up for sale... i went to extreme customs in lexington but the dont do ****, no custom motor mounts, no custom tranny mounts, no custom drive shafts, so i told em to change there name...
if any one knows of a shop that could get these parts please let me no,
#803-446-9356
iv seen the tt in a z31 on google, but he was an millionair, ever thing chrome look so damn good,
and extreme customs did have the wheele spacers i need to put the stock tt rims on my n/a $279.00 i was ganna get them so i can have somthing new to show off at harbison but i dicided to put it up for the swap..
and while i was there the guy tryed selling stock 350z rims for 200.00$ with no tires but there 18's are they worth that much?? cause he put em up next to my car and they looked damn good....
