Default j30TT

So, after browsing the internet and searching the forums I cant find much information on swapping my vg30dett into a j30...I have a full flawless running 91 300zx TT and a 93 j30...the 300 has title issues and so I cant register the car...*long aggravating story* but has anyone seen or done one? how hard would it be to do? any tips? or am I just insane.....Ive seen 5speed swaps for the car but never a full TT swap...I have the full 300 parts so harness and pedals and cross members wont be a problem just the unforeseen fab work is the question....any one?

if you've got the complete parts car, then it shouldn't bee too much work... you might run into mounting problems, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue...
I've always wanted to do a TT j30... seems like the ultimate sleeper car...

It should be easy, its been done before. I think the guys at S&R Performance could help you out with the details. Durdan is over there...G/L

even a cool motor wont make a j30 any less ugly.
buy a n/a z32, swap vins, and move along.

I dont know i think it's kinda a neat idea man, there probibly only a hand full of them out there witch leads to limited info but doable for sure there would be a few fab. part's but over all dosnt look to bad just time consuming

Go to Zcar.com and look up posts by the member Sina, he just did his a few months back. The only problems I remember was the custom intercooler piping and the oil pan, I think he had to weld returns onto the J30 pan and use it. There wasn't anything really major and he finished pretty quickly.

Damn, I was just asking somebody about this. This is an awesome idea, man. Good luck with everything and post pics when your done. I assume you are going 5 spd along with the TT swap.

I was one of the first to have this swap, I will get some pictures up when I find them, but I had my J30TT about 5 years ago. Relatively straight forward swap, some customizing, but nothing out of this world.
