Inside a 300ZX with VR38 twin turbo power! | fullBOOST

A popular sports car of the early nineties, the Nissan Z32 300ZX is becoming a JDM modern classic. Alex has owned this example for over 20 years and in more recent times has replaced the VG30 V6 engine with some newer tech in the way of a GT-R sourced VR38 twin turbo backed by a sequential gearbox. We caught up with Alex at Chequered Tuning where the car was being given a quick check over.

Best thing i’ve seen, but what gets me is that the sound. It sounds so so very similar to the original VG30 that it fucked with my mind.

[TriniRogue]

Love the car and the swap, but its a shame that people look down on the VG, the stock block can crank out some serious hp with the right supporting mods.

[TheCuttz]

Such a mad build congratulations getting it done mate

[sins]

cool build but the engine sitting higher in the bay would be a no go for me, hope we get to see it when he does the rest of the work to it.

[danielbrealey]

@4:57- what was THAT? Bits of spark plug earth straps getting chewed up on the anti- lag?!? LOL! 😜

[FlawleZ]

Awesome to see the VR38 swapped into the Z32. I'm not sure why he thinks a measely 680HP isn't feasible on the VG30, countless people have done it. I really hope he puts bigger turbos on, the stock VR38 can handle a lot more.

[Swwa]

Love how this guy is putting out nearly 700hp running a 10.1 and casually says it's a stock engine with e85 an injectors. Big fan of "restomods" and 90s jdm Nissans. 300 is a bit of an odd ball due to the vg reliability issues but it's good to see that's been well rectified. Please don't sex spec it when you get it painted etc!!! Wicked build would shock a few people!

Thanks @ J. Saloman Ugalde ..😁😁Omg this is so awesome, as soon as Powerball pull my numbers I'll be getting myself one just like this ..

[Poopeepooo]

I see no use in swapping out 300zx tt or the mr2 3sgte. Those motors are just as good. Some people probably can't build them right or it's for the, being different thang yo.

[mozzaslowbudgetbuilds]

The diff is so have gone through 2, and some axels ha ha.

[nismofreak]

Super Cool car. so much effort, well done 👌

[Veyron]

wow, its way chunky below the crank plane.
No wonder its sitting like a sky scraper.
are there other options instead? dry sump with a different bottom end. ?

[TheZXGuru]

just did an 800rwhp build in street trim. e85 haltech 2871 turbos on 36lbs of boost. probably spent much less then this. lol

[MafiaboysWorld]

1:23 *ATTENTION ROB DAHM, THAT'S HOW YOU SAY HOLINGER!!* 👍 F'n Holin-grrr. 🤦😂🤣
What a weapons grade swap. He's right about the VG30 though, how many are up at 1000hp reliably like a VR38 can be? 🤷 Good luck to him. 😎

[ztwinturbo]

I’m freakin inspire. 😅 and I do got a spare VG30DETT laying around. And mine already is TT 🤔 hmmmm

[awdbeast]

Is there a way to keep it AWD &/or keep the GT-R auto trans? Has anyone done it yet or is currently doing it?

[Veyron]

why is it so high through the hood?
not dry sump?
I was excited, till I saw the hood closed.

[ThomasThorr]

respect the build, it's cool as fuck, but he's shit talking the VG like it's a not a good engine or that it can't make 1000HP, which is bullshit. stock block VG's have run 9's.

[madrx]

That is so fucking cool!(apart from the plates) One of the best engine conversions I've seen in ages. They were nice looking vehicles but the engines were rubbish. Not now :)
