  1. Nice swap. I currently in the process of doing the same swap. One thing I noticed when I dropped motor in place and bolted it up is that the crank is not center in the car. If you look at it from front the pulley and whole motor is more towards the passenger side. This is the same in the pictures you took of your swap. Is there a reason for this ? I always mocked up and made mounts with the motor center. Please fill me in if this is how its suppose to be. Thanks Rich
  2. Sorry I ment -10 an fitting not -6. also yeh i understand the pan part! thats what i wanted to do and extend the pickup tube. This guy wants to do a rb25det in future and because the pickup tubes are discontinued now he didn't want me to modify the pickup tube. I told him i could make him another one later if he does rb25 but yeh. this job was a nightmare from hell.
  3. Hi, the mod worked perfectly. I cranked it a couple of times with cas unpluged. Then I hooked up the cas it fires up and looking into valve cover cap i could see oil whipping off the cam lob. I was going to drill block 2 times and run external line incase you need to change your oil pump in future you wouldn't have to weld another -6 line to it. btw i never want to go through all this trouble again unelss its for a rb26.
  4. Took matters into my own hands. Figured I will share what i did. This seems to be the best way I could think of. May be more work but I think it will be reliable enough. Then the -10 oil line will come out side of block pulling through the oil pickup and run along the block with oil hose to the oil pump that I pulled the freeze plug deal out of and welded a -10 fitting to.
  5. EDIT topic is 200zr I have a rb20det from a awd skyline. I have a rwd rb20det 5 speed behind it. I tried to install the z31 200zr rear sump oil pan and pickup tube to find out that the pickup tube location is different. The passage on the side of block for oil does not go far enought to the other pickup tube location. That means a external oil line would need to be ran and the other pickup tube location would have to be drilled. has anyone ran into this problem ? thanks Rich
  6. I'm looking for something thicker. does the engine vibration transfer to chassis though the studs?
  7. I have done this with 240sx motor mounts. use gloves some spit and some 3m window poly works like a dream lol.
  8. I have been on the lookout for a hockey puck style mount. Basically a round polyurethane mount that has a stuff on each side center. I have found Volvo mounts that would work but no one makes an aftermarket style. Energy suspension/prothane will not do such a thing. If anyone know a aftermarket mount or somewhere to purchase somthing like this please let me know. Mount need to be roughly 1.75 to 2.25 wide and 2 to 3 inch tall. Thanks here is a example of a volvo motor mount. and these mounts will work for my application but are way to soft.
  9. i get rb clips local for 1200.. even to ship would cost 300 to 400 .. so 2100 is over priced. LS1 is the way to go
  10. I have done sr20det, rb20det, rb25det, l28et , l30et, l30e, l32e, ls1, 350sbc, 7mgte swaps in 240 260 and 280z's. The turbo swaps were always fun because you can turn up boost tune it and get that like feeling of acceleration. The 350 sbc was fun but not practical for the person they ended up selling it because they said the fumes were to bad lol. The rb people seemed to like there cars and loved the smooth sounds and revs over the l28e or et. The sr20det I did was nice .. alot of room to work with and basically made it a mid engine car. The rb/sr conversions made it easy to use 240sx dash and clusters with these engines to have a modern speed sensor and tach. Water temp as well as cel were able to be used as well. Ls1 was one of my favs because of the instant trq it produced andthe smile it put on my face when i first rolled on the throttle. Got to love the 6 speed and decent gas milege. i ono i fee like im taking to much BYE.
  11. my intake manifold had a shaft that went across with linkage that went to each carb. i welded a tb pully from a ka or sr tb and made a bracket to hold a 240sx/sentra or of right length. drilled 2 holes in firewall, bolted it up and moded the pedal to hold the end of cable.
  12. i want one to put my 3.2 liter stroker in .. so it wil be smog exempt in cali u can have the crank I already got 3 of em lol.
  13. I will have to agree it is a nice feeling to know you have accomplished something. After you complete something like this your next wiring nightmare will not so much be one! Everyone you do from here on out will be so much easier.. things you will see and notice.. its crazy. The engine harness of a motor is not that complicated if you know the few things about it and how the computer and sensors work. I have wired ka24e de sr20de det s13 s14 rb20 rb25 rb26 ls1 lt1 ls6 you name it and everything is pretty close as far as the basic things. constant 12v, switched 12v, start signal, injector power, o2 sensor and idle air motor power etc. Some people are just outright scared of wiring and state that the car will melt down if they touch it. I remember about 10 year ago when I was going to hook up an electric fan in my datsun 510. I hooked ground to battery .. well back then i didn't know you could just hook it to chassis because the chassis is grounded.. the power wire inside cabin into a switch and from switch to the positive side of the battery! WOW ... I soon learned after that a simple relay would do me so much better and well that switch for my fan would have had a happier life and wouldn't have been so hot with all that current flowing through it. Glad to see peoples wiring success stories.
  14. sorry but if you search on here people have posted plenty of threads that talk about what turbo you can run. from what I remember borg warner made some turbos you can get and holset if your lucky off a dodge diesel.
  15. schmucks lol .. anyways yeah I have run into that issue. What they see in there little computer of wisdom is intake being the intake gasket and the exhaust gasket they see is actually the exhaust manifold downpipe flange gasket. The 3 bolt deal. I tell them NO the intake and exhaust are on the same side!! It's one gasket not two. I tell them to pull the gasket and wallaahh
