    S30/RB20 swap motor mounts

    in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z

    Posted

    Ok, sounds like you are on the right track. I am only 17, but I do have a job, I have experience working on car. I know your thinking how much experience can you have if your only 17 but I have been working on cars since I was like 12 or 13. My dad has had a sprint car since I was 10 and I have helped him with it since he had it pretty much. I haven't done an engine swap before but I have learned A LOT on almost every swap possible. I will be doing either an RB, SR, or L28et swap sometimes within the next year if I ever stop spending my money on crap I don't need IE a seat and other crap I don't need.

     

    Yeah i'm 17 as well and i've learned most of my knowledge from my dad. I find my auto class at school a joke. I got my Z from my uncle after it sat for 15 20ish years in his garage so i got it back to running condition about 2 years ago and i just find the dual carbs and the L24 to be too unreliable for me and too expensive to upgrade.

    Hey ShorkyfairladyZ

     

    My 280z had a manual trans from the start. Are you talking about the mount or the crossmember? I see the manual crossmembers on ebay for cheap all the time so that won't be a problem. I used the stock skyline trans mount (the auto and manual are the same) and modded the mount to the stock 280z crossmember. It was easy I had to drill 2 holes and grind the crossmember down a little. Then it dropped right in.:mrgreen:

     

    Oh ok that makes alot more sense.

    They are not the same. Auto transmission is larger. 240z mounts are different. there are 3 different types of mounts as far as I know for the cars, the ears are different from 70-78 but I am not sure on the differences. Oh and sorry for the thread jack but I guess there were others curious about some things as well. If you don't know enough about your stock z yet get to know the z before attempting a swap. I am not sure how old you are or how much experience with cars you have. Keep in mind I am not saying you won't be able to do it or anything, I am just saying do your research, there is more information on here than you think. There is like 9 years + info on here I believe. It would take over a entire week to read everything, then reread it to make sure you read it right so you are sure you are doing it right. Not to mention all the other z car sites and nissan sites and car sites period there are will information on stuff.

     

    Yeah i wouldnt consider myself an auto mechanic but i know enough to do the swap. I'm familiar with my Z only and not the differences between years so that is why i asked. I wont be doing it by my self either i've got a friend that has done ka24 and sr20 swaps and hes going to be helping me with this.

    I used the stock rb20 motor mounts and the stock 280z trans mount. this is a easy swap.

     

    Hey Pat1 i was thinking about the trans mount for the swap im guessing your 280z had the manual in it, so i was just thinking, would the trans mount from the auto/manual 240z be the same? I'm not familiar with this as much as other things and if nissan was smart enough they would've produced the same trans mounts for the auto and manual for production costs but i could be wrong because i do believe manuals are smaller in size.

    Hello, I am planning on doing a RB20DET motor swap into my 72 240z from a 92 R32 GT-S. I have seen a few of these motor swaps into a S30 and i really enjoy the sound of 2.0L Inline 6's.

     

    So, I am wondering if anybody knows where i could get a hold of motor mounts and/or transmission mounts for a RB20/S30 swap. Thank you!

    Vote for the 240Z to appear in Forza 3!

    I'm confused. Because I bought Forza 3, and have beaten probably half the races so far with the 240z...

     

    Edit: I'm guessing the Fairlady Z and 240Z are not the same.

     

    I own Forza 3 as well. The Z in the game is not a 240z, it is the 432 Fairlady Z. They are basically the same car, but in japan the "s30z" (70-73) came with different engine options unlike how we just got the L24 (70-73). Im not sure why they would put a second s30z in the game but hey it would still be cool.
