Vg30e heads will work, i bought a 96 hardbody vg30e motor and just changed intakes. Few years ago i put a 93 pathy head on my original motor and was fine. Same motor minus intakes

Yeah i couldve crushed it but i needed to put another back in,obviously. Plus the starter was going out. I ended up having to drop the skid plate and pull everything out so im hoping the filter will squeeze through next time, i wasnt paying attention to it last time.

Update with my headers. Last weekend i went to do my first oil change since my motor swap and header installation and found out something interesting. My oil filter will unscrew but i cant get it out the headers restrict it. To get it out i had to pull the starter which was horrible as well. Is there oil filter relocation kits for the vgs?

I was gonna ask about the seal. If ones not included then what should i do?

Sweet, ill probably be buying one here soon. Do you know exacly how they mount? Im guessing through where the 4x4 badges mount?

Ive been looking for one of the rare and elusive factory light bars and stumbled across some sites selling what i think are them but im unsure, there's no pictures just a part number and i dont know the number to confirm. Hoping one of you might know more than me, heres one of the sites http://www.nissanpartsconnection.com/OEMParts/nissan-142/9/999F3W7000.html

The previous owner owned an exhaust shop so nothing was factory except manifolds, required some creativity. Im happy though, they look clean and i used stainless bolts so no more studs .

I just put a set of pacesetters off a 93 on my 88 and my only problem was the collector runs under the tranny pan to avoid the o2 sensor so dropping the pan isnt gonna happen without cutting. And i just capped egr.

How much more work would that entail?

Local junkyard has a 95 vg30e listed for $330, doesnt list the mileage, would have to call to find out. Does this seem like a good idea, as long as i can swap the intake? Thanks again.

I was considering just a swap, i just dont want another high mileage motor. I can just get a vg30e and swap my intake right?

Hey guys, hoping someone might be able to help me out. Last night after i revved my truck passing some friends, i developed what sounded like a rod knock. I made it home , and minutes into trying to diagnose, one rev up to 2000 rpm and the motor locked up. Im pretty sure my oil pump hasnt been working as it should, and i think it finally went and the conclusion was a bent rod. Im looking to rebuild the motor, does anyone know a good kit, i know theres plenty. Any advice would be appreciated.
