How good is the Nissan VG30E??


Recommended Posts

Hi to everyone,

I have recently purchased a 510 2 door rolling shell.:love:

I intend to fit a VG30E, 5speed manual and Haltech F9 (fuel only) ECU:classic:

Is my choice of engine a good one?:ermm:

I have no experience with the Nissan VG series.

Re-conditioning is not an issue, I just want your opinion on my choice of engine, performance, reliability, etc.

Thanks guys & gals in anticipation.:D

Only issue I can think of regarding the VG-30 is the fact if the timing belt breaks you have a major valve job in order. Be sure to check or replace it if the engine you use has more than 45K on it. I think they recommended replacing it every 40-50K. Other than that, sounds like you are well on your way to having a little screamer in your driveway.:classic:

Light car like a 510 ought to move with over 200hp on tap. The 510 always was a bit of a sleeper. Neat cars, it's a shame there aren't many good 2 door chassis left that aren't rusted, wrecked or too nice to modify. Hmm, sounds like a Z doesn't it???:ermm:
