Nissan 370Z NISMO with a Twin-Turbo VR30DDTT V6

2012 Nissan 370Z Nismo with a twin-turbo VR30DDTT V6

This Nissan 370Z called Project Clubsport 23 was built by Nissan Motorsports and MA-Motorsports. The project’s goal was to build a dedicated track-only race car for developing and testing performance parts. The project started by swapping the factory 3.7 L VQ37VHR V6 in a 2012 Nissan 370Z NISMO for a twin-turbo 3.0 L VR30DDTT V6. The new engine is found Infiniti Q50/Q60 Red Sport and makes 400 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 350 lb-ft of torque at 1,600-5,200 rpm. MA-Motorsports developed a clutch and flywheel so the engine could mate to the 370Z six-speed manual transmission and send power to the NISMO GT LSD Pro-Carbon 2-way differential. They upgraded the suspension with NISMO 3-piece body brace set, KW Variant 3 coilover kit, Eibach rear springs and the brakes with Z1Motorsports 2-piece slotted rotors and NISMO HC Street/Track brake pads.

  1. Can anyone here help me with what I need to do to swap one of these into my z32 2+2? Otherwise I’m gonna end up RB25 or VH45 swapping it. Thanks!

  2. Wondering if the “MA Motorsports Clutch disc and cover, flywheel” will be something we can actually buy! Really wanting to do this to my Z34

  3. Hi,

    I have a 2016 Q50 RS400 AWD that has engine knock, can I replace with RWD RS400 engine and swap the oil pan from my AWD engine? If I don’t find a RS400 engine, but a 300 HP variant in AWD… can replace my turbos, intercoolers, heat exchangers and 2nd water pump and ECU to mimic the RS400?

    I’ve also heard the 17&18 models have a wiring harness difference, can I just swap those from my 16 RS400 engine?

  4. But what’s a fair price? Will they charge more than an LS Swap? Can they?

    They could literally be like this is all we do. They could also sell everything to you for you to do it on your own to.
