Thanks, MTNICKEL!

I have read a bunch of the thread info and it seems that some have built their own mounts but most have bought their mounts. I would like to build mine and didn't know if anyone had ever measured any specific dimensions for them? I have a 1973 240z and a RB25DET. I am planning on using the standard 240z mounts/insulators and then installing the custom brackets over them. I will attached pictures of what I have so far.

Yeah.. I think that it is way too dark as well.. Had them mix it twice and it came back the same way. I need to visit a dealer to be sure. labeled properly as mixed by my paint guy..

What is your favorite color for my 1973 240z? I'm leaning to Mediterranean Blue

I bought a 1978 280z to have some spare parts for my 1973 240z. It looks like the rear diff is a definite swap over. What other parts should I be swapping over to upgrade my 240z?

Just ordered my Walbro 255LPH high pressure fuel pump. should be here by Thursday

Here is the build album so far.. Started off wanting to do a L28 build and then decided to go RB25. Also started to go lime green and now going BMW Laguna Seca Blue...(most likely )

Gaiden_08, I don't plan on modifying the engine bay at all for the RB swap. There is a sticky on the RB swap, that I would read if you are really interested in the swap.

Hey mtnickel, sorry for the late response. I had already ordered a RB25DET and it should arrive tomorrow. I am on a pretty limited budget and wanted to make sure that I actually finish the car first. (Complete restore) Then probably add some money after she is running and driving for a year or so. Thanks for the input though. I am in the process of stripping down the engine bay and prepping for the RB to arrive. In a bare minimum, get it running sort of scenario, can I run stock brakes and or suspension? I have a 1978 280Z that I am going to strip for parts. It looks like the rear end is a good swap. Any other specific parts that I should swap over? thanks for any help of info.

Hey Guys and Girls! So I'm jumping into a crazy project that has been tackled by so many here already! I first have to thank so many of you for all of your awesome write ups. Without those I would not even be considering this. I'm building a 1973 240z. I'll post up tonight with a little background.

Hi guys! So I am new to the forum, but a car nut and about to jump into a 1973 240z-RB25 build. I wanted to get your reviews on a company named "JDM Quality Auto Parts" out of Canada. Any insights? I just didn't know if anyone on here had any experience with them. Hoping to place an order today, unless someone on here has a spare swap kit sitting at there house?? lol jk thanks in advance! Matt
