Hi, i got a 73 240z and found a good deal on a Vq35 with engine, tranny, mounts for a good deal. My question is ive been searching numerous hours on here but cant find the info i need. Not very much activity on the Vq swaps on here than the others but my questions are.
Do i need the pedal assembly.? I seen everyone use them but wonder if theres a way to not use it.?
350z Igniton switch.? Do i need it.?
Can i use the stock tank on the Z.? Been looking for these questions everywhere and cant seem to find my answer.
Im ready to get flamed haha but all advice and help would be appreciated. I got engine, tranny, mounts, computer & harness, shifter relocation and i will be doing the fabrication and the rest by myself. All advice and help would be appreciated.

Read the Turbo Faq ok. You will learn alot from what others have done and experienced, before you.
Thanks guys, ive been doing research and everything, just didnt feel like if it was giving me that extra "push". But now its given me that push i needed.

If it were me I would sell that ball bearing turbo and for what its worth, possibly buy 2 turbos. One for each of your builds. I would upgrade the zx stock turbo to a 50 or 60 trim t3/t4. Just decide what stage wheel you want in that one.
Did you read the faq's in the turbo section yet?. They show good options for turbo sizes. You can then up the boost to 10, 15, or 20 usable psi and enjoy. Running a z or zx turbo at 15 to 25psi on the street, is a lot of fun.
Thank man this really helps. Imma go off selling it then. Ill just keep the stock turbo and increase the boost with the addition of the intercooler. Just one more question. I found a manual boost controller cheap ebay ones on ebay. Turned up the boost up to 7 then 9 psi and it would sound like if it wouldnt let my wastegate open up or it would hit fuel cut. Any suggestions.?

Look in the turbo section and see what size turbos most people are using. It seems to be a pretty big turbo, maybe you can take it somewhere and have them make it smaller. Or you may need to build your engine up to perform in the rpm range, to use that turbo. But check and see first and see what others have to say about it.
The guy who had the turbo had originaly bought it for a supra i belive. Its big. I would like to use this turbo but i mean i know i can push the stock turbo with a good intercooler and fuel set up. Its what i might just end up doing on the 280zx so whenever smog comes it wont be to much of a deal ill just lower the boost down and hope everything is good. Its not a problem for me. On the other hand a i just got a 240z and 260z and future plans is swap and Rb engine into one of them. I might just hold on to the turbo or sell it then in the future get a Garrett Gt35 Turbo. It was my plan for the 280zx but ill just save money and use that for swap on one of the older Z's. As for now looks like maybe ill be better off selling the turbo and increasing the boost with the stock turbo. What do you guys think.?

I got for say like 80-90% off from a guy who never used it and had no use for it. Soo i mean the price was incredible. And well im not sure but its a T3/T4 T04B .63 A/R .93 Trim. Its pretty big and man it spins so freely.! Also its a ball bearing turbo. What you guys say.?

Hi guys, im pretty new to all of this but i got a 1983 Datsun 280zx Turbo and its got the stock T3 air research turbo. My question is. I came across a T3/T4 Turbo with a .93 trim distributed by apexi and retailed for 2799.99$ and its also a ball bearing turbo and well polished. Im sure it will bolt right up onto the car. The turbo is good up to 550hp but my question is, would you guys recomend to swap it out over the stock T3.? I also got a turbonetics intercooler soo raising the boost a little wouldnt be to much of a problem. What would you recomend.? Would like to get a good 250 out of the car without having to upgrade much. Should i swap it out.? Or should i leave everything stock and just raise the boost with the intercooler setup.? Please help. Also the turbo was originally for a supra but was never used. Also will run 7 pounds of boost -12.? Help guys olease help. Ive searched and searched but feel like if im not getting the extra push or that missing info. Please all the help would be appreciated.

Heyy man i got a 1981 280zx N/A automatic that im parting out. I can pull out the harness for you if interest and shipped for 65$, interested.?

You never DID specify what trans you switched to. T5 or Datsun 5 speed? If it's the T5 try a different fluid first, that's a cheap fix. Also make sure you've got enough in there to begin with. The good news about having the T5 is that just about any transmission shop can rebuild it and parts are readily available, unlike datsun tranny parts which can be a little more of a hassle.
Oh yeah i forgot to mention that. It is a T5

shift fast so you don't burn your hand. just kidding
sounds like the clutch isn't releasing all the way. When standing still, how far do you need to push the clutch in to prevent the car from moving?
I have to push it about half way in.

If you've installed a Borg Warner T5 5-speed for our turbo cars, make sure your using the correct automatic transmission fluid in it.
Not sure if fluid is your problem but different fluids affect the shift quality on the t5 and some people don't know they are ment to be filled with ATF, not manual transmision gear oil.
Side note.
I'm using Mobile 1 synthetic 10w40 motor oil in my T5 as recomended by another member here and it works well.
Also switched from a billet aluminum to a rubber grip type shift knob to help fight the heat transfer.
Mark.
Okay thanks for your guys advice. I have chevron ATF oil in my transmission and will be trying Mobile 1 synthetic 10w40 to see how it goes.

Okay well what i got is a 1983 datsun 280zx turbo. It was originally a 3 speed automatic but decided to go to 5speed manual. My problem is shifter is getting to hot, and its hard to shift. i have a stage 1 Gripforce clutch on and runs fine,strong9 and everything no problem at all.But my main problem is shifter is getting to hot and its hard to get it into reverse. when the car is running its very hard to get into all gears, to get into reverse i have to get it into 5th then back into reverse but when car is off all gears engage smoothly. any help would be appreciated. Here are some pics of my current build
Please resize pictures to 1024x768 MAX
