88pathoffroad Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Any VG30 engine from 87-95 will fit if you swap out the FI components. Maxima and 300ZX engines from the late 80's will also fit just fine, but beware of different crankshaft snout(front end) differences. Call the local junkyard. Any VG30i or VG30E will do. A VG30DE will not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Kind of a silly question but a switch to an E engine would involve a new ecu, but would it also involve replacing all of the associated wiring from the ecu to the engine as well? Or could most of the wiring be reused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 There are different components, so I would think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yes, you have to change the wiring harnes as well as the ecu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87pathy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've been told that its a a real pain in the A$$ The wire harness has tones of wires in it.. its about the size of a 50Cent picce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC88Pathy Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Don't forget to check craigs list (www.craigslist.com). Pathy's with dead trannys or trashed bodies show up on there from time to time, as well as engines too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Pathy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I have a complete wiring harness from the engine and computer from a 91 vg30e if you are interested. originally I was going to do the swap of the entire intake manifolds, throttle body etc, have all the parts, just dont think i will ever have the time. If you want it let me know. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
