    The flange on thel28et stock turbo wg housing is rectangle pattern, the ones on the link you sent look square. Here is a pic of the stock outlet for reference: http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w332/uthawki/Brown%20car/104_2059.jpg

    I dont see the exit flange on there. Unless im blind.

    I tried to search for a flange, so I can make my own downpipe for my l28et swap into my 240z, on google and here, but no luck. The flange I need is the four bolt to downpipe.

    Wow, thanks for the information!!! I was worried about the pressure plate fitting in the 280z bellhousing, I also deal with subaru and the sti clutch was too big to fit the wrx trans... better to ask than find out the hard way. I also want to swap a 240sx trans, was it hard?

    I adjust my valves hot. I let the motor get a few degrees hotter than normal, unplug fan.. so I have more time to work. I have to pull strut bar and valve cover ASAP. then do the hot adjustment.

    Check your wipe pattern first. When you install a performance cam the pattern can be too far off the lash pads. This can damage your cam and wear everything out fast. If the lash pattern is near center you are a happy camper, assuming everything else is fine. Clean the lash pads and marker it up. Then rotate cam and see where it gets wiped off. If its too far to the side u need to change your lash pads to thinner or thicker ones.

    Hi guys, I spent some hours trying to find this clutch trans and flywheel combo but couldnt find a confirmed answer. I have a 73 240z with l24 and 280zx non-turbo 5-speed transmission. I'm currently using a stock l24 flywheel and clutch. I kept a stock rb20det flywheel off of the rb20det i sold. My goal is to install an l28et (automatic) into my 240z with this rb20 flywheel and a 350z clutch. My concerns are it will not clear the bell housing, too big for starter to line up and im not sure if my current release bearing/collar will work properly. I want to get this done in one shot if possible : so to make it simple for others who are searching this option: my setup: 73 240z, l28 turbo engine, 280zx 5-speed non-turbo (nissan transmission NOT borgwarner) 280zx clutch release collar 90% sure, (not 100% confirmed, possibly stock 240z) I would like to have it ready for a gettaway car on my wedding in about 3 months on a tight budget. I'm also having a heck of a time finding l28 turbo to 240z install write-ups with lots of pictures been searching google and here but i must be a freakin' idiot since i havent found anything with lots of pics and wiring help for days. (very frustrated) thanks for your help!

    I'm confused. So this OBX diff is confirmed to bolt in to a 280z r200, or a 280zx 3.90 diff? I have a 3.90 from a 280zx with halfshafts in my 240z and want to buy this and the install kit. Will it work?

    I sold the car a few years back. They took off the turbo, painted valve cover black, and never gave me my front mesh wheels back. I don't have new videos. But I'm sure u can find some on YouTube.... Maybe I'll find some and post here. But I won't be on here for a while.
  13. subtle_driver
    I strongly disagree with you guys, I made my own muffler and recirculated the waste gate into the main exhaust, sounds brilliant. Also the n/a setup with unequal length headers sounded feintly like a subaru. open wg sounds like a massive exhaust leak and causes spiking.

    clean KA swap now im thinking i wanna drop a built one in or a rb25

  15. subtle_driver
    I'm going l24 turbo next...

    ok so not safe to proportion the fronts, and no way to increase the rear pressure if i bypass the stock proportioning valve??
  17. subtle_driver
    yes, got bored and made this with a rental car. i know its not my 240z.... but hey. entertaining at least.

    I have a set of vented 300zx rotors from a z31 with spacers from zrace products and 4-piston toyota 4-runner calipers up front, and in the rear, 240sx non-abs rear calipers and non-vented z31 rotors. The master cylinder is a 1979 280zx unit. problem is I am locking the fronts up too easily. I need to make the rear brake bias percentage higher than what they are now. How do i go about this? I am thinking to bypass the stock proportioning valve and install an adjustable willwood unit for the rear brakes. I do a lot of autocross and rallycross with this car. and i drive mountain roads to work every day. i want to dial in the brakes so it will stop better and be safer and improve my autocross times. it seems to me like they are 90% front almost. i know if i can bring more braking power to the rear i will knock off a few seconds from my times and make it more predictable. i miss the stock brakes as it would stop perfectly till you overheated them.... I am looking for a few different options. please don't reply unless you have done this yourself. thanks!

    A couple more photos attached below of installation ( make sure to remove strut brace, mechanical fan and throttle linkage before lifting the engine with a jack and wood):

    I have been Beating up on this Set of McKinney Motorsports engine mounts for over a year! I had my doubts as I usually go through a set of stock ones in less than 6 months, a year if i'm lucky! I was blown away with the quality, fit-and-finish, looks, and durability of this product! One of the most exciting upgrades for the L-Series in recent memory! Very Comfortable even for daily driving. You will notice more engine feedback and a large amount of power response to the ground compared to the stock mounts. A huge and rewarding benefit well worth the money! I give this product a perfect score! There are no complaints and it is easy to install with just basic hand tools and a jack with a piece of wood to hold the oil pan when supporting the engine or transmission. It would take about 30 minutes for the average z-enthusiast to install. I do a lot of racing! Every other weekend Im at the Autocross tearing it up in my z, I also attend SDCR Rally Cross, and The most abuse from Daily Driving and Clutch kicking and drifting at the SD Club Racing Gymkhana and Series! All this abuse and driving has not caused any wear on the mounts. Don't waste you're money on stock or cheap aftermarket, get these and they will last! Enjoy the review! LMK what you think and if you have questions don't be afraid to ask

    testing a course design with my 240z: New location testing with my friend's Hyundai! I'll stop by Pepboys this week for those 10mm spacers, It never hurts to have different sizes! Thanks for the pointer! BTW I have 60mm extended studs no problem for me! I also am the Director of the SD Club Racing Rallycross, so its easy to pass tech since I'm tech'ing my own car! LOL!
  23. subtle_driver
    I found a seller that sells just the spacers with the correct center bore! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290468205814&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT thanks for your help.

    I'm using stock wheels, I need wheel spacers to clear my brakes. Do you know where I can get them?
  25. subtle_driver
    I'm looking for wheel spacers without buying a set of studs, 15mm for my 240z. Anyone know where i can find those? I am always finding them, but they include the longer studs and i already have those. It needs to have a 73mm center bore, 15mm thick, stock 4-lug pattern. I need to clear the brakes, I'm installing my stock steelies with some dirt tires. I also need them before next weekend 12th of Sept, I'm running a rally race in Live Oaks, CA East of El Cajon. I have been searching for a while, and I'm running out of time. Thanks!
