Thanks, but I canīt find information - Can I get turbo (vg30et) to my na transmission in car? Or must I change transmission and what about differential and axels. Is it compatibile? (Turbo engine - NA Transmission - Turbo Differential) If not - what all I need?

I think your better off buying a half-cut car..or a scrap turbo car with a good engine/trans/harness..this way you don't have to go hunting for each part..you have everything within reach...as for what exactly you need..

the best route would probably put turbo parts on an n/a engine.. or buy a full parts car. making things fit and converting is tough on these z's as the engines, transmissions, driveshafts, axels... etc they all can be different.

Understand... but my problem is money. Car is for me fun! Now I have third Z after 1st crashed (after rebuilt engine), 2nd silver with good engine, but engine blown next was 3rd for parts - when I swap engine I check so it is blown.

Check http://smrky.rajce.net

My last chance is cheap complete engine from 89 Turbo Z31 2+2 (VG30ET) with or without transmission and differential. But he hasnīt car.

I have only NA Z31 Silver color 87 with blown engine. I was take to this car NA engine from 84 NA red automatic 2+2 and itīs too blown.

I finding easiest way for complete my Zcar... Itīs for me heart reason. I know so my questions so stupid, but in my country is about twenty Z31 and I canīt complete other than I wrote.

Has transmissions on Z31 the same end to engine? So I was get NA engine from automatic transmission to manual - is it the same as turbo and NA transmission?

For me is better swap only complete engine Turbo to NA without changing transmission and differential.

Many thanks for time with my questions but in my country nobody do this job and nissan by us selling parts very expensive... For example bottle for water coolant cost by us about 220,-USD on Z31... And shipping coast from you isnīt cheaper too and time to deliver it... I want drive this summer :-)

Thanks
