Buying a Nissan 300ZX – What You Need To Know Thanks to Southern Specialist Cars in Christchurch New Zealand for letting us come and take some photos of their 1989 300ZX Z32 with only 58,000 km (36,000 miles) on the clock. The two generations are broken up into different sections, so make sure you use the table of contents below to skip to the part you want to read. To start with, we will be covering the entire history of the 300ZX range ( December 2023 update – we have moved the history section to its own standalone article here) and the specifications of both the Z31 and the Z32.įollowing this, we will look at buying a 300ZX, general car buying advice and how to import a Nissan 300ZX.

Summary of this Nissan 300ZX Buyer’s Guide.How to Import a Nissan 300ZX from Japan. ![]() General Car Buying Advice for the Nissan 300ZX. ![]() Buying a Nissan 300ZX – What You Need To Know.Fortunately for us Nissan shotpeens both the crank and rods on the VG30DETT from the factory, sparing us the time and expense of having to get it done ourselves. Shotpeening usually improves the fatigue strength of a part by over 100%. This creates a tough microforged skin over the outside of the parts which makes it difficult for cracks to form in the part. Shotpeening is the bombardment of the part with steel shot at high velocities. Normally when building a high powered motor, we would be getting the crankshaft shotpeened. There was also this bit, whether it is DETT specific I have no idea, if it really is true (I think Kojima is a reliable source, but even his articles aren't always techincally accurate) The press in plugs have a nasty tendency to come loose causing the engine to lose oil pressure. The stock press in oil plugs were replaced with these screw in parts. We used loctite red on the bolts, then welded their heads in place. The counter weight is known to come loose which destroys the engine. This is unusual and is one of the engine's weak points. The center counter weight on the VG30DETT crank is bolted in place. I don't know what option there is for a flywheel other than custom. :super nice post.Yes, either a custom made z31 flywheel with the DETT 8 bolt hole pattern, (Dave at SBC can make this) or there is a Maxima flywheel that I believe will work, but I have not done the research on that to confirm if it will work or which one to use.ĮDIT: Maxima flywheel is for the z32 transmission swap. ![]() all else that's needed would be a new flywheel I guess? water pump pulley, everything).Īhh, good call. Thus, everything else would have to move 5mm forward as well (cam gears and tensioner, H.balancer. Failure to do so will cause your timing gear to sit 5mm too far forward. ![]() The oil seal area also has to be taken back 5mm, and you may have to fill in with weld and machine down so the oil seal has something smooth to ride on. It has to be milled down to be the same height of the VG30/33E oil drive height. does it just need to be milled down or can it be used as is with the VG33E pump? It has pics of before and after nitriding process as far as I remember.Īs for the vg30dett pump drive. I also have pics of my VG33E crank floating around at work that I will post here. ![]()
