New Member not sure how to respond but here goes. We have a VG30E SOHC 12 Valve non turbo suits Z31 fully reconditioned Balanced Long motor (new parts from Sump to Rocker Covers) bargain price $1950 from Regoreganengines@bigpond.com

 

wrong car..

 

Rego, if you read his question correctly it clearly states a " 1990 " model Zed which is a Z32 , not a Z31. The motor/s you are offering are not suitable for the Z32's.

 

Zed19 if there isn't anything major wrong with your current engine you may just need a plenum pull with a major 200k service and get all the deletes done along with a water bypass.

I still have my original Auspec with 310,000KM on the ODO and got a major service with all the deletes and water bypass and she is as strong as ! never let me down.

 

Check the condition of the motor . Does it blow smoke ? Does it have good compression ? Are there oil leaks ?
What exactly is wrong with the motor for you to think it needs reconditioning ?

Work some of this out before you spend your money on possibly something you dont need .

Good luck
