    The wiper motor and steering column switchgear is from a 1999 ES300.

    The switches are made by Niles and used by other manufacturers, in fact, Mazda uses slightly less "deluxe" versions (they typically lack a fog light switch or have less fancy wiper delay options) that look identical. I actually had switches from a Protege but when I saw how perfect the Lexus wiper motor was, I decided the wiper circuit got simpler if I used the motor and switches from the same car.

    Do you think this motor can be intergrated into original 240Z wiring like the more popular Honda motor. I Iike the idea of a Lexus motor

    Time for a little update been a while needless to say I did need a new engine after all so my journey began with that in mind I started weighing my options turns out to get the kind of power that I wanted out of a three liter I would have spent a little bit under what I've spent so far. My first thought for a swap was VQ didn't want to do that because it's a v6 although the weight balance would have been great its non turbo. The next obvious option what is of course the almighty RB26. Way too expensive along the way of the build and serviceable parts are not readily available gotta order them from Japan not cool. So I must search for shops to do the swap someone talked me into a 2JZ. So that's the direction I went I am so glad I did parts are easy to get astronomical power potential and more

    I have a question where did you tap into for your 12 volt Hotwire? Can I wire all of them together into one source what do they all need to have their own source. I have empty space on a painless wiring fuse box should I just tap into that also what wire did you tap into for your light source. I'm a Complete noob at wiring

    yeah that roll bar definitely needs a base even if you sandwiched two pieces of plate steel to spread out the force. If mine was striped all the way I would replace my frame rails with 2x4 steel front to back. I may do something like that and cut some in half length wise to box in the frame. I had a shop do my swap for me so I had to pony up some dough. I'm in the swap for about 12k. if you can do all the work yourself you can do it for about 8-10k depending on how much you get your engine for, and your transmission choice, by the way the manual trans will be considerably more than the auto that will most likely come with the engine. I went with the auto because it's like a 3-6 k difference. but remember it's all the little unexpected stuff that add's up. so plan EVERYTHING before you start the better you plan and research beforehand the more $$$ you'll save in the end. My shop is really good and threw a lot of things in there on their dime I wasn't expecting it's taking for ever it'll be worth the wait

    Hey bro my name is Jamahl I have a 72 240Z with a 2JZ swap I bought my set of guages from their Amazon site. but I don't have the car and didn't realize the Tach & Speedo were the wrong size until now and it's been about 7 months since I purchased them. I have the 3.375 and they're way too small. is there any thing that can be done? or do I have to sell the ones i have and buy the correct size. Also is the correct size 4" or 4.5" thanks for your help

    I haven't mounted my seats yet but I'm using Sparco R100. I used the original rails from my 240Z, I just drilled a couple extra holes in each rail bigger than the original holes I used a step drill and went down one more size bigger, and used flat top 8x1.25 phillips head screws, that was enough clearance for the mechanism to work mounted to the seats. Granted I don't have my car it's still at the shop finishing up my engine swap, so I don't know how they will slide when weight is applied but I don't see a problem yet, pretty sure the holes will have to be slotted that should be it.
