Don't say I have heard anyone doing this to a Z31. I know a tuner company in Japan did an SR20DET swap into a Z32 a good number of years ago. IIRC, they claimed the SR had better potential than the VG30DETT.

wow i dunno if it has better potential than the vg30dett, i know the powerband on the sr is larger than the vg30et that i have. ill have a few pics up of the motor and car this week.

kick ass.

damn thats sweet ... whats 538ps convert to in HP? about 500?

If I'm not mistaken, the VG30DETT holds nissans top power numbers....

The sr20det into a Z32 doesn't seem to make sense to me, it'd be like putting a b16 into a H22 prelude. you could do it, but why?

oh yeah, good luck w/ the swap into the Z31, i bet that'll be one slick ride! Be sure to post pictures when its done!

I'd think the SR20 is quite a bit lighter than the VG30 though...you will definitely free up some space under the hood.

yea its alot lighter and takes up a hell of a lot less space!!

uhhh it has been done, not trying to pull your pants down in front of the class or any thing but just trying to drop some info .Go to jap yahoo and do a search mabey you will find some info on the swap . I have a RB25 in my Z31 it is a much better way to go IMO .I mean how can you go wrong when you go RB ????????

yea well i got the motor fully built from a friend who has $$$$ to play with so i couldnt pass it up. Yea japan cars have done everything but here in the US there hasnt been many. if i was gonna do an rb swap it would have been the 26 and i would have done the AWD conversion too but i passed. im more than happy with the decision im making and if i had the money i would do an rb swap

id looove to see an rb swap into a z31...post pics. and the sr20det, sick.

ditto post pics of the RB...ive only seen ones in japan nothing in the US. Ill have pics of mine when its done.

RB please post pics of your z... also how come no one has mentioned your car on other place did you just do the swap or did you just keep it underwraps?

I have a friend looking to do a swap in his 87 z31. He can't make up his mind on what engine to drop in. Alot of people drop chevy 350's in there or the simple vg33e or the rb25 or even the harder to put in vg30dett. It would be cool to see a sr z31. yeah, please post pics when it's done.
