240Z Master - you are a champion, great photo, picture says a thousand words... Why does the pickup need modifying if it is made for the sump? Does the 26 fitting come out at the front or something and have to be lengthened to the back? regards Mike

Has anyone found a boost guage or a Oil temp guage or any combination guages to fit the same hole size as the clock in the 240Z dash? regards Mike

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm new to this forum thing & it is fantastic. Sounds like the 3.9 is a good medium way to go. Can I ask if anyone knows - there are short & long nose diffs - presumably the long nose is heavier so sounds like the short nose is better to use for weight reasons? It also sounds like the shorter nose are out of more modern cars as well? (1) My question - is it better to use a short nose out of a modern 200Sx or something? (2) no one has commented on whether I can adapt GTR brakes to the 240Z? (3) Can anyone help with engine mounts & gearbox mounts - does anyone supply adaptors or not?

I checked with Nissan and the RB30 Patrol sump is no longer available, but they had all the numbers as supplied by 240Z master ie 11110-20P00 RB20DET Oil Pan (Rear Sump) 15050-20P03 RB20DET Oil Pickup 15059-V5001 RB20DET Oil Pickup O-Ring [You don't $300 Aust for the sump + GST but has to come out of Japan. 240Z Master - why dont you need the O Ring for the pickup? regards Mike

I would like to know what pan as well? Someone in Australia told me a Nissan Patrol using the RB25 motor was a straight in fit? Has anyone used that? If so what pickup?

(a) I have just purchased a 240Z, an R32 RB26DETT half cut and an R34 RB25DET 5 speed which I intend to splice together. I want to purchase an appropriate LSD with the best all round ratio for this combination. The car will be used for tarmac rallies, hill climbs, track work and the odd amateur drag day. Can anyone who has done the same conversion help please? (I was thinking around 3.5 what's your thought?) ( The half cut has R32 GTR disk and calipers. Can these be adapted on to the front of the 240? © I would also appreciate any other advice on engine & gearbox mounts
