Check out Rizz's link page. That'll answer a lot of your questions.

For the life of me I can't figure why anyone would ask a question without asking OOEvan directly. He's the DemiGod, Prima Donna of cars. Even God himself go's to him for advice as do the automotive engineers from around the world.
This 19 year old whos living off mommy and daddy from Plover, Wisconsin has excelled beyond anyone on earth when it comes to the Z. Without his advice anything you do is wrong, anything you say is false.
I suggest all automotive forums direct all questions to him directly, to avoid bad advice and misinformation.
OOEvan, my hero, my god, my mentor. Thank you world for opening up my eyes so I may see the errors of my ways and have a better life.

Because ZeroZeroEvan I have Better things to do with my life than play marbles with little punk like you.
Don't criticize my knowledge, correct your ignorance.
OWNED by you? Sorry, no 19 year old Mechanical Engineer student from Pluver, Wisconsin well ever own me. Neather with knowledge or at the track. Your nothing more than a wannabe, you wannabe a big smart boy, but your nothing but a fly that bothers people and dwells in garbage. All of your post are similar to this, without merit and of no value to those that want to learn or have a problem.
Only in you dreams are you a big man, little boy.

Gringo, dude.
I was all supportive of your thread back on 3ZC. But after taking the time to do some simple Google searches I found everything you have said almost a perfect "copy-paste".

Without pics you are just some kid yanking everybody's leg.
I find it hard to believe that you don't know anyone that could scan a few pics or could let you use a dig. cam for a day...

As for everything I said almost perfect "copy-paste" Google, I did use some referrance to some articals that had merit, for those interested could look up more information, but copy -paste, not one sentance, Put your money where your mouth is. Pull up one thing I posted and prove me wrong. Everything I said is true and accurate.
As for you taking the time to do a Google search and finding almost everything I said a Perfect "copy-paste" your as bad a lier as OOEvan.
Now enough of this crap, you contact the above if you want to find out who I really am, and if you or your buddy can't say anything postive, due everyone a favor and go play with your marbles.

I have a 1990 na 2+2.You can buy the complete kit from z1 motorsports for 3500.00.You will have everything you need infront of you with that kit.On a 2+2 model the rear end and differential will work.The harness will work too.You will only be missing the boost control wires.You should add a boost controller anyway because the factory one sucks.The only minor problem you will run into is running the pipes for the intercoolers.

gixxer130

You can get the whole kit for 3500.00 from z-1 motorsports.Yes the harness will work from an na.You will be missing the boost wires.The kit from z1 includes everything you need for the swap.I just did it on my 1990 na 2+2.Iam at stage iii right now running about 400hp.I sell cars for a living so I had access to the shop and all the tools, that made the job a little easier.

I donno what ur planning on doing cause i didnt read most of the posts, hehe, but i'm in the middle of a conversion from a 1990 N/A to a TT and most of the stuff has been changed but i have one problem with the DP's hitting the frame. But w/e this car has WAY to many problems any ways. But if u are gonna do the swap heres a recommendation and i know because i'm in the midst of this project. If u do the swap GET A FRONT CLIP I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS DO NOT BUY A SEPERATE ENGINE "YADA YADA YADA" GET A FRONT CLIP it will save you SOOOOOO much money and stress, i wish i got a front clip but i went the hard way and now i'm F*CKING OUT OF MONEY. pardon the french but yeah the only major thing you'll have to worry about is the exhuast everything else u'll need will basically come with the clip.

I had never tried Google up until now. There's some interesting info on there. I googled Zgringo. If the info's accurate, then it looks like he was in the Air Force from '52-'56. A retired veteran. He's in to racing and fishing. My grandfather's into that also. Try to show a little respect.

Evan, you ever googled yourself? Check it out....type in 00Evan. Might I suggest you start using different usernames for some of that stuff.

Lots of us have cut & paste on here to save time. Doesn't mean that he hasn't actually done the work.

Zgringo

Thank you Mr.91zxtt, I also was recalled in 65-71 and served 3 tours in VietNam and 3 years as a instructor. i'm really not to smart as all I know is flying and racing and building cars. Kinda limited.
Thanks for your support.

Don't forget fishing. If you're in to fishin' and wrenchin' on cars, then drinkin' beer is probably in there somewhere too, so you're ok by me.

Zgringo

I though fishing was something everyone was born with, as for wrenchin, the first engine I built was in my Mom's kitchen, boy was she pissed. Drinking beer, well I've been known to slam a few. I have really enjoyed life and racing has been a major part of it. I like the last line in your sig. as thats the way I'm going. I pretty much like everything, except child molestors and smart mouth punks.
As for the topic of this thread, when I started working on cars is was a normal thing to swap a engine. Now a days if it don't bolt in it won't work, or it can't be done. Everything has to have the "name" on it.
As for this guy swaping a TT engine from his N/A, a very easy swap, but time consuming, but very doable. Want to try something alittle harded, then shove a VH45DE in the Z32. That very doable, but takes alittle more planing. But these are all things that make being a car nut fun. Building a car and memories.

what do you guys think? will it worth my monet if I let them do the swap and choose "stage 2 Performance Package" or I should let my local mechanic guy do the swap? buy the performance parts and let my local mechanic install stuffs for me? he said that he can do the swap for me with JDM TT front clip for $5000 and if I bring him all the performance parts from Z1 like "Stage 2 Performance" he's gonna charge me just only $600 for installation. well.. I think my local machanic's deal is alot cheaper but I'm not sure if his work gonna be as good as Z1 work. What do you guys think? all this complicate swap and install performance stuffs like these should I let Z1 do the job or just any local mechanic guys can do it well??

If the quality of work gonna be alot different then I will not care for the price anymore I will choose Z1, so what do you guys think I should choose?? Z1 the one who 300zx very well or my local mechabic guys? so I can save some grand $

PS.
sorry for my english
I'm asian who has been living here for just 2 years only
