who blames they guy for being pissed hardly anyone flamed him for the piston motor but just talked **** on him not knowing him or his knowledge or experience. Sorry about everyone else i don't know whats up their asses. easy on the **** yous tho lol. Anyway i really hope you can do this i wanna see it the vg is a great bulletproof motor and the fc is probably 500 lbs lighter than the 300zx. Did you check out their site yet, granny's that is? Feel free to PM me since this thread has been hijacked by *** holes

I want to be the one to tell you to get off the forum. You can do what you want and believe what you want. Go ahead and do it if you know so much and quit wasting our time. Goodbye the forum will be a better place without you.

trade the FC to someone with a s13, im sure they are out there... then work on your damn VG Swap. I don't understand why it is so dificult for people to accept the fact that it doesn't matter if they make a ******* kit, IT IS GOING TO BE HARD AND REQUIRE CUSTOM FABRICATION. buy a turbo motor and rebuild the thing. Even that will require some work to make work in an n/a and its supposed to be in an FC.
i agree wholeheartedlty with evil aviator, and arghx. you can't / don't want to rebuild the motor but you have the money to buy a swap kit (not cheap) and then the motor (not cheap) and then undergo a complete custom swap (not cheap). all of this and at the end of the day you may end up with a car that doesn't run or run right. For what? a low compression motor to turbo?
you get pissed/offended for someone telling it to you like it is... and the worse part is that almost everyone agrees. If you had the skills knowledge to undergo such a project, you wouldn't have the questions that you do. Aren't you glad you asked?

thats basically what i was getting at... there are easier, more efficient, less costly, less involved ways to go...simply choosing to go to a completely custom swap because you cant find a reputable engine seller seems absoulutely pointless. try finding a reputable source to help you with that swap...

What the hell is wrong with everyone here? Just because he has decided to go with this swap doesn't mean he can't afford it nor does it mean he can't rebuild a rotary, even if he hasn't done it. He simply asked if anyone has done the swap or knows anything about it. Why can't we just help answer his question. I gave him some info and Granny's says they offer a bolt in kit that doesn't require custom fabrication, besides turbo manifold if you go with kit 2 which i would. This is the only reason this forum sucks some times, you try to ask a question and everyone has to chime in and tell the guy he can't afford it or doesn't know how to do it. I'm sure he can read the prices on sites and add them up, who know's the swap may be to involved or expensive for him, but thats probably why he asked. It's not like he came here and said I have 2 grand, how do i put a 300zx motor in my car? And for the guy who said just get an s13 and do it, you know that will require almost as much work and it wouldn't be an FC. If anyone has any real info about the swap please post as I am interested too, but everytime i check back it's just a bunch of BS

1) Everyone is giving him **** because he's too damned stupid to find a T2 engine in decent shape himself
2)Rebuild on a jspec will cost as much as the grannys conversion kit for the VG30 ESPECIALLY if he does it himself, it could cost less than $600. Seeing as bad jspecs are usually carbon locked from sitting so long, drop in some atf, let it sit, take it apart and you have perfect housings and irons!
3)A VG30 drops in an S13 fairly easy, but in the same instance, he could just drop an SR20 in even easier, however, if you're going to do fab to drop the engine in might as well go LS1 anyway.
4)Since all he is doing is whining about not being able to find a good engine, all of these statements are valid
If he said he is tired of rotaries, doesn't like rotaries, says rotaries sucks, whatever, it would be different.

When you drop the F bomb on people you tend to not get liked very well. You can go ahead and defend him, but he made himself look bad. If he can rebuild the motor then why doesn't he go and do it. With this even though everything is prefabbed for the installation there would still bit other work to be done. But what do we know right.
If he wants to go do it go for it, figure out how to do the swap yourself.

So how am i wrong??
1) Doesn't matter. It's his car if he wants a VG30 then thats what he wants. He didn't ask if we thought it'd be easier or cheaper to rebuild his motor or get another tii motor.
2) Search ATF doesn't break down carbon, someone on here proved it by soaking carbon coated parts in ATF for a long time and it did nothing, beside damage rubber seals, doesn't matter i guess if your rebuilding but still ATF is transmission fluid not carbon cleaner.
3) A VG30 drops in a RX-7 fairly easy to with granny's kit. I do agree that with all the work involved he might as well do an ls1 but he wants a VG.
4) He may have said he couldn't find a good motor but i wouldn't say he was whining about it. And thats not all he was doing. All he was doing is asking if anyone had done the swap of had info on it. Since he was just asking about the vg swap none of those statements are valid since they are all reasons why he shouldn't do it
His reason for switching may not be valid to you but it's not your car or decision, sure i think he'd be better off with a tii engine but it's not what he asked, if he had said, i can't find a good rotary engine should i put in a VG30?, i'd have said hell no and directed him to a place to buy a good engine. My point is that everone on here always has to act like an *** to people who ask questions. He never said anything about money, and he never asked for info on rebuilding or replaceing his original engine. he asked about a VG30 conversion. So does anyone out there have any info on the swap? i'm guessing a few have been done since granny's makes a kit. I'm guessing the next post won't have any info tho just someone picking apart what i said

I'm tired of dealing with unreliable websites. The last 3 I looked into getting a TII engine from had no warranty and coudln't compression text their engines. So hell no, I'm not buying an engine like that! The one that did have the garuntee didn't have an ecu for sale with it.
I finally decided I'm going to put a turbo'd VG30 conversion in it and put a nissan engine in. I was wondering if anyone has done this conversion and how it went.

Seems more like he has a limited amount of common sense. It's fairly easy to find a nice T2 engine.
If he wants swap help he should've gone to the other engine conversions part of the forum.
Everyone gave him good advice, if he gets a JDM VG he will probably have just as good of luck and end up blowing a headgasket a few months down the road.
Not being able to find the original engine was his point, which is a crap point, and everyone called him out on it, OP whines, everyone else says GTFO it's the internet.

This whole ******* thread is about how he doesn't want to do the easy thing and find a reputable dealer ( which was answered) but instead wants to do a very involved swap, FOR SIMPLICITY. He didn't state that he wanted info on the swap, he stated he wanted info on the swap due to the fact that he cant find a reputable dealer. problem solved. you tell a buch of rotorheads that you CANT find a dealer and then ask about a NON rotary swap? There are sections/websites devoted to such things. Evil Aviator hit it on the head...

Well to the OP contact me and i'll help you find info since i'm not an ***. here ya go https://www.rx7club.com/other-engine-conversions-non-v-8-118/nissan-vg30de-fc-542083/ the guys used name is tims, he didn't use the granny's kit but he might be able to offer you some info. As you can see he used a non turbo motor but granny's says the turbo will fit, i trust them more than most people on here. Feel free to ignore the asses in this thread and just talk to those of us willing to help. BTW what motor where you considering? the tt on the single turbo from the older 300s?
and of course he dropped the f bomb no one answered his question, and everyone gave him ****. WTF is the point of this forum if no one wants to help?? you had no answer for his question and have no more info on the swap but had to chime in. Mutaku "If he wants to go do it go for it, figure out how to do the swap yourself" thats the dumbest **** i've ever heard i'd be sure to respond with figure it out yourself if you ever have a question. His point was that he wants info on a VG conversion and maybe this should be in other engine conversions but thats for the mods to decide and move. I remember the days on this forum when half the posts would have been deleted since they don't pretain to the OP's question and are just insucure people talking **** over the internet thinking to themselves, "I sure told him"
I finally decided I'm going to put a turbo'd VG30 conversion in it and put a nissan engine in. I was wondering if anyone has done this conversion and how it went.
This was his question anything he wrote before it may merit mentioning but shouldn't be the whole point of your post.

Please quote where anyone other than me offered info on the swap and not just the suggestion that he keep or rebuild the rotary. **** half the people here keep refrencing the VQ motor, completely different engine aluminum block, but i don't need to get into that.

if u can make a sandwich... than u can rebuilt a rotary. just take it out and start taking things off.. if u think that u might not remember how things go back together than mark it... or if ur still interested in finding a TII motor than go to a junk yard. all of the yards where i live will give me a 90 day warranty compression check and start the motor in my presents... the internet has alot but not of what ur looking for...
