that would be an awesome swap. i'm pretty sure its been done in japan but over here in the states i doubt it.

holy crap, i never though of that swap, it wouldnt be to terribly hard if you can find a way to mount it, you should call mckinney motorsports and ask if they car make a custom one for you, just an idea good luck

I've heard of the swap done on a Z32, I dont really remember cuz it was about... 3 or 4 years ago. But yeah, that would be one beast of a machine. Now all you gotta do is lighten it up... LoL

[oojpeeoo]

go for it... nothing is impossible... haha much props 2 u if u actually decide on doin it...if i could even get my hands on a rb26 i would prolly mount it in any car

[FRpilot]

anything is possible. unless you really like the z32 chasis, go for it. otherwise, any chasis would require almost the same amount of work to mount an rb26 in. however, the z32 is pretty much crammed for space as it is. the z32 chasis looks ok, but it is just too heavy imo. you are better off mounting it onto old school datsuns (ie 240z, 260z, 280z, 510s, 210s, etc.) and it will be smog exempt but if you like the z32 chasis i guess thats up to opinion.

can i have the vg

[FastBack 240]

my buddy just installed an RB26 into his 280z and it hauls ass.

[curbsurfer]

it can be done. i would charge $11,000 at my shop. it would be mostly stock though

[na_300z]

thanks for all the intrest i'm trying for the bank lone now to get the motor

In all honesty bro, if you are dissatisfied with your n/a VG, then get a usdm or jdm vg30dett and throw that in their... The rb is a great motor, but so is the vg. Both have very stong designs, and can both take substantial boost.
The vgdett would be a straight foreward swap, and for the money you would spend on trying to make it fit, custom parts and labor, i mean as it is, the vg30 is already compacted into that engine bay. And with the money that you saved on the swap, you could do some mods to the vg. Just an opinion..
More power to ya brother if you do the rb swap, good luck and hope all goes well.
