Im wondering the same thing about a RB26 swap since i dont have the MAF with it id like to try a blow through setup with an aftermarket MAF sensor im just wondering if its fesible or not since i could use just one big maf instead of 2 big ones since space is an issue in S30 Z a blow through would actually save space . RS speed you say to put it just after the I/C i find its a good place for it on WRX it was in the intake pipe near the air box .

Hi, im starting to look around for a clutch and flywheel for my RB26 swap and I was wondering what everybody has ? Z32 flywheel with RB25 clutch or RB26 flywheel and rb25 clutch ? I'll be using a Z32 tranny (push type clutch) on RB26 bellhousing and I wonder what to use. I like the exedy products but i want to know what you guys have .
Thank you

Why does it seem that no one buys an aftermarket lsd like a KAAZ from a 240sx and swap it in ? Did any one try it . I would have a good deal on one and i want feed back a little ?
-
I really love this topic, but is their any calculation program or just a formula that could help me choose if a R180 STI 3,90 diff used on a RB26 with Z32 tranny would work or not ?
-
Ok if i get this right to put the STI diff in a 280Z I need the Betamotorsports adapter and a R180 mustache bar from a 240z then im set ?
-
Sorry about the thread jacking a little but what axels did you use with your R32 GTR diff ?
-
Subscribed ! great find . I would check the earlier (93 and less) honda accords heater/ac unit if i reacall from the one i had they were pretty small in size but they were electric/mech controlled .
-
Id say try it if your going to bring them to the chrome shop anyway try to fix some of the dents youll know right away if your up to the task or not and when you bring them to chrome later they can fix what you didnt do right the first time, imall about trying before giving up but thats me. What i dont like about the Fiberglass bumpers is that in minor impact where the metal on would hold a little bit the FG one will break and way more damage to the front end IMO .

Updates Z-ya ?

Once we have new pans we will look at the engine mounts and make the nesessary adjustments. Orginal we designed for the ZR200 oil pan and the lowest possible mounting of the engine. Rips pan is a great pan but bigger in the front than the ZR pan. Hope to have first aluminum pan in 2 weeks.
Ive put a mark on my calendar for that !

Here is what i mean you cut where the X is right . The othjer picture is to show the diffrence in thickness .
I know i read somewhere a discription of where to cut but i cant find it . Since this a thread about Mckinney mounts i though id ask here .
Thank you.
-
Sorry to drop in like this but i have the Mc kinney mounts to and i was wondering if you guys got new shorter bolts on your engine mounts or did you shim them . The original RB engine mounts were almost 3/8 thicker on the bloc side then the Mckinney and in the trans tunnel its just the "ears" of the 280z trans mount that i take off and not all the hump in their . Ill try to post pictures of what im talking about .
Thank you .

I dont know about others but ill be using neoprene insulating tape and 3M glue on the back because the glue used on these isnt strong enough .
-
Dammit ! false alarm again ! lol
-
Nice flares ! Im kinda liking the G-nose on that car its weird I never like the G-nose but that black car looks great !

-
Cant wait to see the RB26 diagram from you Z-ya !
-
id look at a station wagons like Legacys the likes
-
Id go with a IS250 4WD even if their a bit slow still your traveling around with a precious package in the back . Like others said check fit the baby seat in the car before you fall in love with a car .
-
Thanks Wizard ill keep an eye on that and im not kinding by saying that ! A freind a mine has a sweet camera made by ridgid .
Ill go check it out to see if it has carbon buildups in 6 i dont think so because the engine was in a running car i saw it working and it had a rebuild once by the previous owner before he started moding the RB .
-
I wonder how good it works for down force etc .
-
Dammit I saw in my email that their was a new post so i rushed here all anxious ,but to find nothing ! Still this project is gonna be like wine the older it gets the better it will be ! God Speed Mull !
-
Thanks for the good words . I had such a great deal on that engine i couldnt pass . It was from a 93 GTR rolling car that was brought to canada to take apart . It has the good crank so no need for the crank collar it has a rebuild new Tomei ,gaskets ,Belts ,cams, HKS GT2530 or equivalent turbos ,dump pipe and suction kit to bad it wont fit as is . Got it for a ridiculous price . I had it compression tested and all first five cylinder are like new and 6 is a smal bit under the others . It was dynoed at 483 whp in japan on a HKS FCON Vpro . Cant wait to start the project ill keep you guys posted .

It seems you can swap any aftermarket LSD made for non lsd 240sx and they will fit. I guess I will buy one and try its not like its going to be hard to sell if doent fit anyway and at first I was looking at an OBX helical but they dont seem to be of very good quality even when you upgrade the bolts.
