FS: 94 300ZX w/VG30DETT swap

[livnthedream]

hey guys, got a 94 300ZX that i am in the process of installing a JDM vg30dett. the car is black, grey interior, 5 speed manual, tinted 20% (appears to be 20%). bought the car from a customer. it needed an engine, the customer didnt want to pay that much to get an engine installed, so i bought it. found a vg30dett from Jhot imports here in town, and in the process of putting it in the car.

vin: JN1R224D1RX546593
transmission: RS5R30ARC41
engine block code: 967107W

the good:

JDM twin turbo, ecu, wiring harness
approximately 77k miles on engine/turbos
new timing component set (belt, pulleys, tensioner)
new oil pan gasket and rear main seal
new platinum spark plugs
new upper intake manifold gasket
replaced any rubber vacuum/water/oil hoses that were squishy/cracked/hard
boost guage
tire tread has about 40% left
brakes about 40% left
clutch disk about 70% left
paint is extremely clean and shiny
inside is immaculate
windows already tinted
comes with car cover
clean title

the bad:

passenger side door is not perfect
shift knob/boot and steering wheel is deteriorated from age
will be installing a black fairlady z TT front bumper, will not perfectly match rest of car
will have a non-turbo title
n/t tranny is going back in. engine set was with an automatic tranny.

asking price is $9,500. negotiable

that is all i can come up with for now. i should have the car running and on the road this week. i have a few pics of the progress and car is sitting on the lift at the moment, but i will take some pics tomorrow and post them when i get off of work.

if you have any questions about the car, you can reply here or email me at [email protected]

[Halfwit]

thanks. like i said, that price is negotiable.

understood, but didnt want to lowball with my amount.

[speedminded]

How many times you done that conversion? Had a Z32 for 4 years and did all my own work...much respect to anyone that's willing to work on them :bow:

[livnthedream]

my first time doing this swap. not as bad as i was expecting it to be.

[SLOWR/T]

how well will the NA trans hold up with the turbo motor?

[PSINXS]

they r the same tranny just different gear ratios.

[£G2♣]

goodluck...

[Halfwit]

it will be badass. buyer will be satisfied

[livnthedream]

thanks guys. i heard the n/t trans is a little weaker than the turbo trans. i havent researched it enough to know for sure. i suppose i should do that tonight.

[livnthedream]

okay, found this:

1990-96 300ZX Transmission For Both Turbo and NA.

The transmission model is RS5R30A.
The 300ZX model is the same for both the NA and TT, but Nissan relocated the starter in the TT, and changed the outer and inner front cases.
1st 3.2142nd 1.9253rd 1.3024th 1.0005th 0.752Reverse 3.369

this is the address for where i found that information:

Gavin (aka Livinthedream) does AWESOME work. Everyone I've sent his way has come back with nothing but praise. This car is beautiful. Whoever buys it will LOVE it.

[Xrated O.G.]

Location of vehicle. Myself and a buddie would like to come see it. Is this a 2+2?

[SpecV_Scott]

It's in Augusta, GA (about 2 hours east of ATL). It's a 2-seater

[97s14]

will you trade straight up for a 97 ford contour check posts

[livnthedream]

thanks scott! not looking for trades, just turning the car around for cash. it is a 2 seater. the car is immaculate. its in martinez, ga. if you would like the address to where the car is, send me an email: [email protected]

the car is still torn apart a little, had to put in on the back burner for the holidays, people on vacation, all the bays are full, blah blah blah. i will be more than happy to show the car to whoever wants to see it. just keep in mind that it is still in swap mode. i had someone look at it earlier this week nitpicking. i challenged her to go find another Z in that shape with a TT motor for that price. the car is in awesome shape. the power antenna is broke, but that will be repaired. havent seen anything else wrong that i didnt put in the original description.
