the transmission calculator helped emmensely thank you all. looks like the 81-83 5 speed is looking like the best option.

differentiating between the two is no probalem, i have both it's just the gearing of the R200 im wondering about

atleast thats what i was told. bought everything from a guy in cincinatti planning to do a v8 swap, originally thats what i wanted also but my love for turbos got to me. for $2000 price included car with very little rust, 6 point roll cage, 3.36 r200, tokico hp struts, eibach pro kit springs, all original interior, absolutely no dents, running L24 (not installed), full bushing kit, new/freshly painted subframes. i think thats it i cant remember everything off the top of my head. anyway he was a really good guy, he might be on this forum somewhere. oh yeah and i can't forget the rottissirie that came with it. by the way nothing assembled except the steering column so ive got some work to do

any updates on the pictures...very interested, l28et swap is in planning and need to know exactly how to mount before i go buy. the junkyard by me has a ton of 240sx's

i currently have a 3.36 r200 so a searching i will go for the 3.9. thank you all for your help.

oh alright, so i shouldn't expect it to break on the occassional drift?

well, what i was really hoping for was a more torquey transmission but if the 4 sp. cant handle it as well then ill forget that idea. reason i ask is i found a L28ET with 99,000 miles that runs great in a junkyard for $400, i guess ill find a 77-79 tranny. thank you

I am one of those members who reads more than posts so i did search. i couldnt find any posts concerning anybody mounting the L24 transmission to a L28ET, can anybody point me in the right direction or atleast give me some insight on wyh this would be a bad idea, or if it will even work. thanks

i wouldnt worry about which is cooler...it doesn't matter how cool it is if it beats you in a race, so i'd go with RHD so you can leave the steering original and have no clearance problems

HA not in kentucky:)

if you werent on the gulf coast i would tell you exactly what to do with it....sell it to me

tomei offers something similar to crate engines

your black Z is the best looking Z i've ever seen, i had the exact same plans in mind, except for the chrome around the windows never thought of that
