Thank you for this information. It was very helpful. Unfortunately the video itself was extremely annoying, because it was so jumpy. If you want to become a great KZbinr, minimize the panning, and keep the panning slow if you must pan, and use a tripod, or at least some type of steady cam unit, so it's not bouncing around (for a lot of it, I couldn't watch it, I just listened to your excellent commentary; you have a nice voice, too, and I appreciate what you told us, thank you, but I had to keep freezing it to look at the video). You have great content and an nice attitude and manor that's easy to listen to. Fixing the camera work could really help your KZbin count. Sorry this is negative, but I hope it helps you and that you become a great KZbinr.

I hate wiring. Props to you for tackling it yourself. I have Microsquirt in mine, but Mike Palladino wired that up for me.

Hey, been binge watching your vids, awesome channel BTW. Is this the 145A Quest alternator you purchased a while back?

Hey, did you ever do an install vid on the alternator? Did it need to be modified at all to fit and work correctly?

Done this shit way too many times😂

What size line are you using ?

Why do you have 4 valve pistons and 2 valve heads? There isn't a clearance issue?

How long did it take you to finish the full rebuild. My engine just blew up

Thanks for breaking it down. I think I need one of these!

Ohh sorry I didn't realize you were using a clutch that didn't require the friction surface. That's interesting. I was having slippage issues with mine (460ft.lb at the wheels so I am currently using a 6 puck, but its a bit too aggressive for daily driving). I just looked up Uniclutch, what kit/part # did you get? For the VG30e they have 2 OEM cover bolt up PCD options, 280mm or 290mm not sure what I would need. I see you got the 'Sport' Uniclutch rated at 800 ft. lb., I probably just need the regular which they state is rated at 650 ft. lb. I don't plan on going any higher than I am now. Thanks!

Cool project man, one thing of note is I'd consider switching to a SS oil turbo drain hose as it's a bit more resistant to heat than the nylon threading or at least put some fire/heat shield around it. I'd also opt for a straight drain fitting on the turbo and let the hose have the slight bend to it as it's a little less radius and easier for the oil to get outta there. Anyway, look forward to seeing more updates man!

Hell yeah, I'm stoked somebody in the Z31 community is gonna give this a shot. Keep us updated.

Nice work! I was looking at one of those throttle bodies but kept my 60mm 240sx one. Looking forward to further progress. btw I commented on one of your YT short clips about the Fidanza flywheel, did you remove the green film? (your supposed to) I rubbed mine off with paint thinner or mineral spirits.

Man I’d really love to do this kit but it just seems like so much work

You have to remove the green from the Fidanza's friction surface before use. I used paint thinner or something similar.

is that a re-mand engine sticker on the lower timing cover?

What guage u use

@fatalrpm i need help finding all fittings to complete this installment on my z31. U got info bro ?

I swear by the Metal Rescue bath. I use the bath in a 5 gallon bucket and then add plastic coated blocks around my parts to raise the level.

I put lithium grease on mine and it’s like brand new no need for it but ya they look like shit

Bruh none of mines coolant lines had the fittings

Doesn’t it being connected directly to the battery mean it stays on all the time?

That block looks super clean in white! Should paint the engine bay to match, it would be super bright in there and easy to see everything!

Somehow stumbled upon your vg30 videos, happy I did. I plan getting a nissan hardbody truck so this information is golden. Thank you for a nice video. Subbed <3

Real nice work but as a pipefitter I mourn the loss of those cut off wheels if you don't mind the tip always climb cut with a grinder it keeps the tool from jumping as well as saving your wheels and stainless sucks to cut but Aluminum Zirconium (not oxide) or cheap bandsaws cut like butter also you cant go wrong with the Harbor Freight $9.99 cord grinder those things move some metal big VG fan tho love the vids

I love when people get the tools to fab things and then just do it. good job.

You're a Renaissance man with all this skill. Can't wait to see the first complete version of this Z. 😲

I love z31's and z31 content

where do i get the horn?

That is a bad ass engine 😂

Beautiful VG! I've had mine out for a rebuild recently. A rebuild is like therapy, I love the process of re-assembly. What pistons are you using?

Thought this was supposed to be an installation video. It ain't.

Currently driving my first owned nissan( d21 Se) and was a long journey to get it driving as it had vg30i,ended up swapping in vg33e, and only weak part of this engine it seems is cylinder heads air flow capabilities aside from forced induction the motor doesn't produce much hp for its size and beyond 5k rpm it's out of breath, also kinda hard to find any performance parts for vg platform as everything is mainly for vg30de and not sure if works on sohc version, like turbo manifolds hard to find for 30e as most available are for 30dett, cool to know there's potential with this engine, gathering parts to convert to efi for the my d21 as I couldn't get the 2 injector throttle body setup it factory to work properly so converted to carb with a weber setup but isn't the best fuel efficiency wise and is only 2 barrel and think it's a tad on small side for a v6 but is extremely reliable believe it or not as only ever had efi (honda game) until converting to carb as last option to geting truck drivable, good vid like the info.

its so interesting to see the little differences in the engine from america and my one in Australia only just started watching and im hooked

Hi, what’s the link for the horn?

Where you get those bolt and studs for the camshaft tray?

This is the content I’ve been waiting for😫

Check your valve seals and your turbos

Good video! I agree, this procedure can be very therapeutic! :). I'm working on a couple VG33E/R builds, so good to see someone else out there building these! 👍

Bro may I wonder if the audio output quality of the head unit via aux is as good as the original output via BT/aux plz?

Did you happen to use the same piston rods from your old engine or did you purchase new rods?

Hey man, did you eventually find out why the U coolant hose was leaking? Thinking of ordering the kit

🤟👍Can't wait to see further progress. I have an '86 na2t owned for 20 years. Nice to see younger guys like you with a passion for the Z31!

Enjoyed your video man, what music was playing at 12:30- 13:00? Haha really liked how you did the edits and the music choice

Great video, I just ordered a set myself & this was the only video I could find online with the same red ones I ordered. I do hear in the video you got really bad engine lifter tick!

Could you link the bodykit? How much did it cost

does the audio fully play or untill you let go of the buttom

What would the trim piece be ve called? I have the 88 z31 with the huge rectangle and i wanna do a custom headlight but with the 85 headlights and trim rectangle thing

What year is your z and are there any compatibility issues with this kit? Or will it work on all z31 z’s?

looking awesome take your time i just got one here in Sydney Australia
