auxilary

direct mount: I put mine in , and the stock bolt holes lined up with autometer ones. I just had to go get a couple of couplers and a threaded rod to cut up to use. I extended the mount screws about 3" down, and secured with washers and wingnuts, like stock tach was mounted.

pathetic. it's probably some 15 year old nutswinger trying to impress others

Thanks, I needed motivation to rub one out!

mods, please make this a sticky. I copied from stony's post, please follow the original link to see replies and additional info: http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15544&highlight=stony How to swap an rb engine into a z First you need to figure out what engine and performance you want… The rb-20 motor is a 2 liter turbo or N/A motor both are considerably stronger then the L motor The rb-25 is basically the same as the 2.l but has more displacement and can be modded to handle more HP in its stock internal form. A friend of mine took a stock N/A rb25, threw a turbo on it and ran the hell out of it for a year and a half at very high boost levels before he put a hole in a piston!!!! Car dyno’d at 430 RWHP on a chassis dyno The rb-26 DETT comes twin turbo only… it is a detuned Japan touring car motor. With simple upgrade like a chip , intake, and exhaust you can be well over 300hp. The bottom end is built to with stand 600hp before needing upgrade forged pistons and rods. This motor is considerably different then the 2.0 and 2.5. The only thing that is swappable between the 2.5 and 2.6 is the block and that has to be bored and some other mods done to fit the head. If possible you want to stick with the 2.6 block especially if your going to build it up for a lot of power… the 2.6 block is a lot stronger Ill start with the rb-26 swap as this is what I did. I purchased the majority of the parts from one shop on Okinawa (HAAS) and got a pretty good deal on everything. Here’s what I got Rb-26dett, trust FMIC, r-33 GTS-T 5 speed tranny, r-200 LSD, drive shaft that I needed, and a bunch of other stuff I ended up not using. 3500.00 Things I didn’t use… stock computer, stock wire harness, stock oil pan First thing I did was remove the GTR oil pan , installed the pickup / oil pan from the z-31. Then I installed the z-31 motor mounts. I installed the motor with tranny bolted up. We then took the stock mount from the L tranny cut it up and welding it back together. Then cut and shaped the chassis part of the mounts and bolted everything together. Once everything was in place where I wanted it we tacked it in, then removed everything and welded it all up. It wasn’t till later that we figured out the drive shaft would fit without cutting it ;> I was told this but had never seen it done so I wasn’t sure. From this point it was a matter of fabricating all the stuff to make the engine work. Other parts I bought from different sources… Exhaust (Kakimoto) I ordered this thru Matt at motorworx on Okinawa. http://www.motorworx.tv/ I bought the GTR down pipe from the kinser auto hobby shop USMC then had it modified by matt to fit the 260z install. basically cut it in half then welded a couple of bends in it to fit Fuel pump I bought off of ebay … bosche 600hp injection pump. The oil pan and sump I got out of a Japan spec Z-31 rb20det 300zx in a junk yard. the front of the oil pan had to be cut out and lowered to clear the bearing retainers in the 2.6. The block has a spot for a rear pickup but it is not drilled out so I had to use the front port on the 2.6. This meant I had to make a custom oil pickup that went from the front of the motor to the rear. If you use the rb-25 block this is not necessary, in fact everything from the Z-31 is bolt in!!!! I purchased the SDS EMS thru matt at motorworx…. I can not say enough about matt… he is awesome and very meticulous… if he wouldn’t do it on his own car he wont tell you or do it to your car Labor I did pretty much all the manual labor like installing the motor, tranny, diff, and a bunch of other stuff associated with a body restoration;> Matt at Motorworx did all the welding on my car…to include the exhaust, down pipe, intercooler in and out mods, and piping He modified my fuel tank pickup to a –8 for better fuel delivery. He also did the SDS install, and setup. Which without changing anything the car ran a best 11.138 @ 121!!!!!! Ok to summarize… with all the parts above everything bolts in You’ll need to make tranny mounts, and all the associated welding for the exhaust and intercooler piping. From there it just like any other swap. The motor sits a little fwd with the z-31 mounts so if your looking for optimal handling you’ll need to make custom mounts to set the motor down and back a bit. You’ll also need a custom drive shaft. I didn’t think the GTR drive train would fit in the car but it will…. but this places the motor so far fwd the radiator has to be mounted on the other side of the core support!!!! But does give the car AWD ;> The rb-20 is an ok swap but only provides minimal power upgrade from a turbo l-28 The rb-25 is a bit better and can handle more power with its stock internals. The rb-26 is the ultimate in reliability and performance…. This motor can be built to 600+ HP and be driven to work everyday with a full exhaust. (no earplugs;>) For anyone considering this mod if you’re in Japan or Australia or have a lot of money go for it…. Anywhere else id go with v-8 or Toyota 2jz TT which is a very similar in performance to the rb26

because it's annoying when dozens of people a week ask the exact same thing, and it gets tiring having to re-explain everything to others over and over again, when all they have to do is do 2 simple mouse clicks.

That comment above leads me to think you may want to do some more research on this before doing anything

oh yeah. direct bolt in, just like in all the other posts it has been described in detail.

go to the high tech board, look for my posts

280 chassis is somewhat more rigid than a 240. usually it's the early 240zs that don't hold up to twisting torque and abuse.

look inside the sleeves, they're usually little rubber o-rings taped to it.

In each GC tube you should've gotten a little rubber ring. That ring goes around the strut housing, and the sleeve goes over it. This creates a tight seal preventing the sleeve from rotating. Otherwise it just sits right on top of the perch, supported by the weight of the car. Here's my setup for reference

cut off the perches above the welds, grind the welds off carefully to have a smooth finish. Then line up the sleeves, and weld on the new perches accordingly for the sleeves to sit on. You can also call ground control, and have them fax you directions

the shop's name is ND autocare, located at http://www.ndautocare.com

never ask me where my pics come from, otherwise 'auxilary' will no longer be as funny

how any bride, especially one that attractive, would agree to a dork wedding like that is beyond me... (i would've done Rennaissance style wedding myself)

gotta be logged into hybridz, and refresh

So, DavyZ and I went to the blackhawk show yesterday where we met up with 73BotiZ and Donna. Upon wandering among the Z cars, we stumbled onto a 240z. It looked like this: And the motor... I apologize I couldn't get better pics of under the hood, because it was propped by a 2foot rod, so the hood was only half open. Since it wasn't my car, I wasn't about to go touching it The owner's name is David, and his father has a blue 240z with an n/a vg30 motor in it. The owner was cool and friendly, provided ton of insight, and I invited him to check out hybridz.org, since he would definitely be an assett here. The block head ends where strut towers begin, so it's pretty far back to provide good balance. the swap is incredibly cleanly done, intercooler is not visible by much, and the exhaust pipe is from a yamaha r1

it's even cheaper than that. in norcal, and this is in the middle of silicon valley, craigslist.org shows a ton of places being rented out for sub 1500 range for a townhouse/condo. I'm looking at this stuff myself right now, but in truth.... One can buy a house and pay much cheaper mortgage in other states. California is a catch 22 place to live: beautiful but deadly in liberal laws and well...earthquakes

CCW (complete custom wheel) will make rims based on your specifications for size and offset

nothing special required, direct bolt in. depending on the year and differential you're running, you MAY need a 280 driveshaft, but unlikely

http://www.mcmastermotor.com/concept.htm interesting concept, but how would the seal alignment work for the wobble plate? Durability of hte motor is also in question, as well as vibration

Dave works hard at the plant and spends most evenings bowling or playing basketball at the gym. His wife thinks he is pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club. The doorman at the club greets them and says, "Hey, Dave! How ya doin?" His wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this club before. "Oh no," says Dave. "He's on my bowling team." When they are seated, a waitress asks Dave if he'd like his usual and brings over a Budweiser. His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says,"How did she know that you drink Budweiser?" "She's in the Ladies' Bowling League, honey. We share lanes with them." A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Dave, starts to rub herself all over him and says "Hi Davey. Want your usual table dance, big boy?" Dave's wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Dave follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her. Dave tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it. She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every 4 letter word in the book. The cabby turns his head and says,"Looks like you picked up a real bitch tonight, Dave."
