02 maxima engine(vq30) convert to 300zx(vg30)

[nikitenko91]

i have a 92 300zx with a bad motor and i have a 02 v6 3.0 maxima engine laying around (vq30) so read on a website http://z31.com/repairs/newengine.shtml (https://www.vtunnel.com/index.php/1010110A/c18779dbaea68f69b02c5ca5ede7a93e1138a4828e1142568f e1b4cf4ceae1ed94f8b8a619108) how to convert a maxima engine into a 300zx engine but on the website the guy used a 88 maxima motor and i think he used a z31 300zx. but i got a new maxima motor and a z32 300zx so i was wondering if it will work the same and if i can convert it.

That website is called Z31.com...

02 was the 3.5

[Andy_013]

02 is a vq30 but the z32 is a vg30
03is a vq35

[turbosx©]

thats correct^

[JessAlba452]

2000 - 2001 (5th Gen) = VQ30

2002 - 2003 (5.5 Gen) = VQ35

Yes you can do a VQ swap into the 300zx. It's been done a couple times.

I was thinking of doing that, until I just decided it might be better to put on larger twin turbos once I get a 300zx for myself lol.

02 was a Vq35

yeah that guy on the website must have used a 88 or older z31 300zx fo a 88 vg30de maxima motor because it is illegal to swap your motor fo one that is older than your car. and besides if he had a z32 300zx i highly doubt that he would swap the z32 stock motor fo a 88 vg30de motor

sorry the 02 max came with a vq35.
why don't you try looks on nicoclub.com they is more nissan heads on their.

beginning of 02 was 3.0, later in 02 they released the 3.5

so that model year had two motors.
