Try Z docs or Z fever. They are exspensive.

Have fun. The VG30DETT is a cramped engine compartment. As stated before, if you really want one, Z Fever.com or just buy one.

Iv seen the swap done, It took 4 or 5 experienced people, a welder, all the parts right there and ready, and a shop lift 2 full 14hr days to do this swap. Good luck with that!

Yeah, it's not worth it at all. All the misc parts are such a pain in the ass.

Don't waste your time with the local wannabe Z shops around here. Order a half cut (entire front of a JDM Z) from Nissan Performance Aftermarket OEM Parts - 300zx 350z G35 240sx and you will have 98% of what you need for the swap. I just helped a friend of mine do his and it took us 2 weeks in his backyard, it's not hard just time consuming. Make sure you do the needed little shit like the timing belt and gaskets (I always advise a new wiring harness also). To do it right you are looking at roughly $7k

+1 It would be a waste of time and money. You will not be getting a TT bumper with your swap, which directs air into the intercoolers. You will also not have HICAS, not that many z32 owners use it anyways.
