If you watched the video you see that the VR30DDTT fits like a glove in the Z34 chassis. I was expecting a lot of fab work for the plumbing and some kind of clearance issue on the sides, but it just drops in.

I took some pictures so you guys can get a bit more detail. Just ignore the shirts plugging the BOV couplers (I’ll install the HKS BOV 100% this weekend). Overall it’s so far so good. Only issue I’m dealing with is having the transmission (keeping it 6 speed) line up as two holes don’t match.

I’m ordering new motor mounts and the coolant line kit from CZP to have a clean look and just get new hoses to kinda refresh. Also, I want to do the seals to refresh the motor.

I’m 10 out of 10 excited and glad I decided to take on the project! So far I’m under $2k total spent. Let’s see where I’m at next week!

Didn't I tell you that you would need a bellhousing adaptor, clutch and flywheel setup. to make it fit correctly.

You’d have to find a company that makes them. The flywheel is the only one of part I needed. Looks like I’ll be working on the bell housing myself.
