SC Fs: '95 vh45de - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

savatoge · 04-19-2010, 01:24 PM

Got a '95 VH45DE from a local yard as a base for my drag car. Now I've decided to stay KA-T.

Asking $450 OBO. Depending on the distance, can also work out getting the motor to you...I'm in the Greenville, SC area.

I could get it to Nashville for you, if you could pick it up from there. How does that sound?

SUPERSTAR · 04-29-2010, 12:39 PM

Good price for kick ass motor.

hows the motor condition? miles?

savatoge · 05-05-2010, 08:55 PM

Motor is at a friend of mine's shop...can't remember off the top of my head what the listed mileage was. General inspection (without being able to crack it open at the yard) led me to believe that it is in good condition. Still has the tag on it, so I'll run by the shop tomorrow and check the mileage listing, plus take a couple more pics.

savatoge · 05-06-2010, 02:45 PM

Didn't have time to get over to my friend's shop today, but I did call him and asked him to check out the mileage listing on the motor...177K on the clock when it was pulled. If you want pictures from other angles let me know and I'll get them ASAP, which will most likely be Monday.

asS14 · 05-06-2010, 08:20 PM

i havnt done much research about these engines yet but do you have any idea how much itd cost to get this thing in and running?

All depends on what you want to do. What are your (or your friends' if they will be helping you) fabrication skills like? Or will you require a mostly bolt on setup, requiring as little fabrication as possible?

asS14 · 05-06-2010, 10:26 PM

i dont have many skills at all but ive got friends who im sure can do a little bit of something. haha

but that bolting on sounds like my best choice

matbmorr · 05-07-2010, 07:32 AM

I think there is a page that talks about a VH45 swap on nico somewhere....it's ALOT of fab work...I think it was the whole exhaust system, plus some mounts....just search "VH45DE swap" on google....I don't think this is a first-swap choice lol

NICO has a whole subforum dedicated to the VH & VK family of Nissan motors...head over there if you want to read more in depth on the VH swap.

Mazworx now provides a great deal of the components necessary for the VH into the S chassis swap, bridging the gap for those who either don't have the fabrication skills or don't trust the quality of work that their local shops can provide.

Mazworx can provide everything to get the drivetrain in your car for $1550:

The kit includes: motor mounts, machine work, hardware, adapter plate, shifter, brackets, one-piece driveshaft, etc.. You source the transmission (90-96 NA or TT Z32) and send Mazworx the bellhousing (or you can purchase the tranny from Mazworx for $750). Then they send you back the kit with a machined bellhousing. This is enough to get the drivetrain mounted in your car.

headers: $895
intake system: $159
conversion harness: $240
ecu from a local yard: $75
upgrade tune from mazworx: $375
Z32 tranny from Mazworx or you source locally: $750
custom exhaust from the headers back: $300

So you're looking at about $4500, probably closer to $5000 to give a little room for miscellanous items. That doesn't include labor if you are going to pay some else to do the install. Or if you have some buddies who have pulled a motor or a tranny before then the Mazworx setup should get you rolling. I can help you out with the rom tune if you want to save a few bucks there.

Used to be that for the VH swap, you had to either notch the frame in order to get the oil filter to spin on, or some people just went ahead and did a filter relocation setup instead. I'm not sure how the Mazworx motor mounts address the oil filter situation...if it was me, I'd go ahead and do the oil filter relocation, which allows an oil cooler to easily be added either now or later on down the road, depending on how hard you beat on the motor...

Check out the S13 hatch in this video...VH has torque on tap across the _entire_ powerband:

Sorry for the image quality...the camera on the new BlackBerry Curves sux. Also, don't know why, but for some reason I thought the motor was from a '95...it's actually from a '94...

How far are you from Beaufort jw?

I'm probably just under 4 hours from Beaufort. If we could work something out and depending on scheduling, I could probably get it down to you on a weekend that I'm heading to Charleston.

Just left you a PM and text. It's going to make me sad to see it go, but this motor really deserves a happy home that will show it the love it deserves.

SR Vinny · 05-17-2010, 01:21 PM

You can check out the swap kit from Mazxorx $$$$$$$$$$$ After you buy a Z32 tranny and the kit and any extras your looking at somwhere between 4-6K.

Read the whole thread...I already itemized out the majority of the costs for this swap using Mazworx components. But thanks for the bump!

n8RPS13 · 07-03-2010, 10:50 PM

Sorry man......Free bump for you
