Well well I didn't realise those RB adaptor plates existed
Got me thinkin now lol
But how close does a 350z box fit inside the Z tunnel mind?
-
You sure the sump isn't touching the crossmember or gearbox rubbing on the ears or the strengthening brace of the tunnel? Or even the exhaust downpipe rubbing for that matter ?
Damaged crank pulley maybe ?
-
Just tap it in
-
This might help. RB25- 26 much the same when it comes to relocating the dip stick ...

Use a std Nissan flat pickup gasket, part no' 15053 - 1E400
-
Will be fine unless the engine is knackered, in which case you already have a problem lol
-
For what its worth the McKinney mounts do "place" the motor spot on
Am finishing fitting an RB30 to mine and I couldn't have asked for a better fit - engine n box wise
Previously used an RB25 but the 30 seems to fit even better which sounds odd lol
-
Via the air intake to the turbo or just vent to a separate oil catch can mounted neatly somewhere on the inner wing
-
For use with a RB25DET with side feed injectors ... (am not using top feed)
Has anyone managed to fit a Circuit Sports fuel rail to a Greddy type plenum in their Z ?
From what I've read they aren't a straight fit or don't fit.
But does that mean with mods they clear and can fit or not ?
Be interested to hear from anyone who has fitted one and how
ta
-
The McKinney mounts are ok but imo the rubber/silicone mount parts they supplied with them are pants
Fell apart with not much use and looking how they are made is not too clever.
-
Think that's a common isolator to many Nissan injectors of the same period
SR20 engines i'm sure also share it as does many more
Do a search on Nissan 16603F, is the part no but check 1st !
Try this ...16635-53J00

Ok cheers bud, will have to have a look about to see what types are available
-
Anyone running an RB30DET with a top mount turbo setup in their Z ? (using a GT35 in my case)
Interested to know how you got on clearance wise with exhaust manifold/turbo
As the block is taller did you have to mod the exhaust manifold or is there an off the shelf manifold that lowers the turbo to clear the bonnet ok ?
Don't want to get into jacking the bonnet up or modding it to clear
Maybe worrying about nothing but the turbo is already close as it is with it's RB25 & top mount fitted
-
Few pics
Using McKinney mounts (RB25) but think they're the same as RB26 anyway
For others that might need to know prop length shown is with a GTST box and GTST diff flange
As it goes I think the std Z diff flange has the same depth anyway, so measurements should stay about the same
Would deffo advise you check your own measurements before you weld anything mind
Have fun
-
I've heard of Sinco. Looking foward to installed pics on the Z. Any concerns with fitment?
As said, does that clear the inner wing ok with the wastegate trunk positioned there ?
Does look a nice bit of kit mind
-
Keep up the good work as the results are well worth it
-
Not bad for freebeeZ, good luck on your adventure, get that wallet ready
What they said. I wouldn't mind a few freebie Z cars like that over here !
-
Will do. Unfortunately I work two weeks on two weeks off.
Simple, order the mounts and bits n bobs whilst you are at work
Come home 2 weeks later and fit them ..... and so on
Besides, with a garage that size you got no excuse and plenty of room to hide from the mrs lol
-
That's spot on. Many thanks peeps !
Cheers for posting those pics as helps a lot
-
bttt, just remembered this
Yes it's a job I've still yet to finish
Have now seen pics of what the kick panel looks like, but what holds the ecu in place?
Does it bolt direct to the bodywork or is there a "carrier bracket" in between ?
-
FOD - Foreign Object Damage.
+1 imo
Something's got in there ... like your turbo blades you mention !
-
I recently fitted a twin plate clutch n lightened flywheel kit to mine (RB25) and tbh I don't like it
Makes the gearbox sound very noisy and (sometimes) stalls the engine easier
Race car sure but road car no ... imo
-
They rust everywhere
If it's a uk car that's about as close as it gets over here !
-
I bought a whole heap from mckinney motorsports and the engine / box mount are good and line straight up to almost factory position regarding shifter etc. It also sits nicely in the 240z engine bay, about an inch from the firewall...
What he said
Engine n box drops straight in but you need to have a prop made, or again buy from above

Rb to 350z gearbox ?
I've only seen and found this adaptor plate as mentioned above, nothing else n certainly not a kit ?
