ummm just new to the site and i wanted to know the difference between a short vg30 and a long one... i have a z32tt and would like to know what i have under my bonnet... looking to do some work soon too... all i have is a dog box and exeddy heavy duty button clutch. :zlove:
You sure that's a dog box???? Such a thing for our cars would cost a bloody fortune and I'd think be nearly impossible to come by?? The difference between a short and a long motor is the degree to which it's assembled. Hopefully someone else can give you a more exact answer, but they're not two different engines
Maybe he means a dog of a box? Short motor - block, crank, rods, bearings & pistons. Long motor add heads, timing gear, covers etc. Just needs accesories to complete
Parts list Engines will include the following parts - not exactly sure on brands yet, this is a quote that I got from AMEC but we be adding to the list once we demo and find we needs better/different parts. ?

Paint Cant wait to start this project, waiting on confirmation of career change for my brother so we can starting dumping more money into the project.
Simon from TTZ, did this exercise a while back. He said it was in the area of $250K+, not to mention some parts are no longer available.
If you want a standard spec short motor. I've just had my short motor rebuilt with higher spec components for less than that.
When I was reading it I thought it was a old thread.. 300luva it is a impressive list of parts.. How far have you got??
does anyone know the cost of a vq30det engine as its always been an interest of mine to see this engine in a 300 especially since its all aluminium and before questions are raised over its strength nissan raced this block for 5 years or so with close to 600hp
