I wanna say someone on here named nismo240 or something like that.

I have a crossmember with mounts already made for it.

Or a whole coupe with that crossmember in it already. :)

Its a cool swap, I want to do one soon.

I'm sure it would be possible, but not worth the hassle IMHO, and would be a huge PITA to work on. They suck to work on in Z32's.

agreed, even in the 300zx engine bay there is NO room for anything, hard to work on too, imagine in an s13 engine bay, ud have no room to work, plus the hassle id rather go for a 2jz than a 300zx, i6 vs v6 so more room to work in the bay, or u could get a 13b and have half the engine bay to work in:)

also is it a tt cuz if it is idk how well the smic's will work out with such a big engine

Vg30 = poop for s13s

but 222+ NA HP in a s13 is pretty freakin sweet!

I loved the VQ30DE in my maxima, had plenty of power for the max, even though it was 4000lbs. Cant imagine how fun it would be in a 240.

haha, I really wanted your maxima. hmm, I also have an extra motor laying around. Blown headgaskets, but should be an easy fix. I should throw it in one of my 240's...
