Nope not unless u are going to pay me 5g. Those things are the biggest pieces of shit to work on. I got tired of putting motors and trans in my buddy's.
Best of luck

If you are really interested in doing this then you can PM me. The job will not be cheap I can tell you that... I would probably do it for about $2500. What are you looking to spend? Do you have the motor already? I might have a better deal for you. I have 3 Twin Turbo Z's now. 1 has been torn into pieces. 1 is running at about 500 horses. And the other is sitting there waiting for a motor. PM me and I will give you my number.

Re: Anyone wanna do na to tt 300zx swap?
Just a nice side note. Its totally not worth it unless you are starting with an absolutly flawless NA, like with low mileage. Simply too much work and in the end you normally could have bought a TT for around the same price or even less.
I have done three of them and its typically not worth it to tell you the honest truth.
So judging from the price RC gave you.
$2500 labor
@2k for a clip (You really should get the entire clip)
TT-NA Driveshaft @ $200
Clutch if your smart @ $300 at the least
TT Fuel Pump $200 new
You can roll with the NA harness, but you will only be able to run 7psi of boost unless you run a boost controller. Really your choice.
Change every piece of rubber on the new motor before install.
So I will give ya maybe @ $200 is various whatevers that always come up.
That totals 5400 minimum. Keep in mind that the turbos on those clips are almost always shit (Last two I did have seized turbos) So keep that in the back of your mind. Bad injectors are almost always the case with clips. Plus, the engine has a gaurantee, but it doesn't cover the labor for install and removal when it ends up having a nice rod knock or some other issue. I know RC won't pull it for nothing. Also every single front clip I have seen has a nice dent in the oil pan right where the pickup is that causes low oil pressure so you have to factor that little issue in also.
Do what you like, but the best bet IMHO is to sell the NA and buy a TT. Just less headaches, and TT's can be had for pretty cheap if you look around and are willing to go get it.

Thats already a TT and I bet your still cheaper than I clip and labor. So you throw a clutch at it and your done..
