Hey_You

Should be different for the 240 as the 280. I'll probably just buy the kit from SilverMineMotors myself. It asks for what hubs you have (240/280) SilverMineMotors

I wonder what that driver door would cost?

Please buy an aftermarket fiberglass dash to do this to. Please?

Miller Performance If you are looking to simplify an install, and want to add boost, look to these guys. Huge support for the e30 BMW crowd where they are OFTEN swapping in M50-S52. Miller has been working with the m20 and m30 for a long time and have several tunes for them, but are now doing a tune package for the m50-s52 and will be adding boost to it as well Also, the m30 doesn't take much to be pretty beastly. And it is reliable as a rock. Otis (known as Good'N'Tight on forums) has been very successful with the m30 I would say. Take a look at this little video. Good alternative for a straight line Z.

This is true. I'm involved in the e30 chassis BMW forums [where many a folk swap to the m50/m52/s50/s52 as they all fit perfect (as long as you use the oilpan from the the 5 series cars.)] Only thing holding back the installation of the m54 engines is the complexity of the electrical systems (thus the need for the ignition assembly/key/everything else, although it has been done). If you are interested in learning some things about the engines, a good place to check is r3vlimited in the 24v engine swap section. TRM is a great company to deal with from what I have heard. Boosting the m50/52 doesn't take too much for lowerer number (350ish rwhp)

I think what you are going to have a problem with is the fact that 1) You are a new member, so you haven't gotten a reputation to be a group buy leader with.... 2) An out of country, unknown fabricator/source. It's not a bad idea by any means though.

I have that wheel in my 240 shell. Easy to turn Also helps that there isn't an engine, or interior in the car, haha. Quality of it, sub par, I don't use it and parts are already showing wear. I bought it just so I could move my car around since when I bought it it didn't have anything other than vice-grips attached to the steering column. This wheel will not be staying in the car and I'm almost disgraced to have it bolted to my Momo Hub

Yes, they sell kits for the RB's and SR's and I think the KA nowadays too.

That would be awesome, I wonder what the CR is going to be on it since it's a bike engine. Boost it, and throw a couple of them in my Z! haha

If it was me, I would buy a b5 Audi S4 and put a stage 3 kit on it, bigger turbos and coil-overs depending on how much I still had leftover after buying the car. Not the lightest, but would definately fill the daily driver bill, and have more than enough power. Not the best for auto-x, more of a road course style car that can rip down the 1/4 and keep up/walk away from more expensive cars. But from the list, I would choose the NSX, always loved them. Might not be the most powerful, but they handle awesome, and pull decent times for being underpowered.

Not to be a buster, but unless your car is caged, this would be the only harness I would suggest Schroth Reason being in case of a roll-over a standard harness will not allow your body to move forward resulting in you being crushed instead of bent over.

The e21 and e30 seats are pretty similar, I would suggest the Sports instead of the Comforts. Just to let you know...even the fabric comforts I had in my e30 weigh a ton, full manual too. I installed full power leather e36 seats in, so I got to feel first hand how heavy they were. These are lighter than both

I had a 91 Toyota Celica dash sitting around at my place, so I tried that. I was pretty close to fitting from what I remembered. I was just getting pissed because my cage was interfering so I tossed it. Gonna go aluminum instead

Hyundai Genesis...4g63 in RWD glory. Not sure how much that tranny would cost since it is brand new, but...it is another option

Everytime I see a car parked on the grass I think of the movie "Crash" Haha Car looks great though! Almost makes me want an S130 but my S30 will easily do!

MmMm...Bride...tastes expensive! Haha, I'm thinking about puting a pair of Corbeou Baja SS's in my car, had a set in my truck, now I want a set in my car, dang it!

I just wasted a good 5 minutes reading all these posts for nothing (slow reader) Is there going to be a CF dash being made or am I just gonna go with my original idea of an Aluminum dash?

It is true. I used the chemical strip method, and the sander method. It's fun to watch the chemical go to work, not so fun when you get a little bit of splatter on your skinny white legs while wearing shorts. I stripped my car outside, and there was dust from me sanding it EVERYWHERE! My blacktop turned white and made quite the mess.

L28's are VERY easy to come by where I'm from. I plan on putting in a RB20 just to keep it inline six, but more modern. I know that the 25/26 make more power, but in the end, I want my car to still be a 240z (which came with a 2.4L) so the RB20 with the 26 crank and some other goodies will keep it somewhat original displacement...that is how I see it. If I had a 260z...well, I would probably end up selling a kidney to buy the RB26

Those MemoryFab seats look pretty nice...and $750 for a pair isn't bad at all. As for not being able to get in and out of a seat...not too big of an issue as I'm young, and have a very thin build. Had a set of these in my truck, I loved them.

It has been done. I believe the guys at VildiniMotorsports have done a few of them. From what I heard, it takes some work to make it fit right. I tried using a 91' Celica Dash, gave up as it needed a bit of work for it to fit around my cage. I'm just going to go FG or Aluminum...but the S13 dash looks SUPER CLEAN, would go that route for sure if I was to daily mine Edit: I just now realized you were wondering about an S130...in that case, I don't have a clue

My '71 won't be done for...well...many years. Atleast a couple of em to just get it on the road. However, I was wondering if anyone has used the Sparco Speed 2 seats (looking at these seats as they are Sparco's, and they are actually affordable for a pair), and how they fit in the car. My intensions for the car is for lightweight fun (carbon and/or fiberglass panels and interior where I can) but it's always a bonus to have a comfortable seat. I did some searching and couldn't find a review of the seat anywhere. Also...has anyone used the F1Spec seats? I searched on here about them, but the posts are over a year old and nobody had said if they have tried them or not. Any affordable/comfortable seat recommendation is appreciated...however it has to have a thin fixedback/headrest as my cage is the seat size nazi

I'm at half a Datsun 240z...no interior, no drivetrain or front brakes, gas tank is sitting in the hatch, missing driver door because there was too much bondo in it to save...BUT there is no rust and no dents thanks to my body shop friend...and a lot of my money :- LoL

That's one sexy looking l28 in that blue Z, MmMm, I wish my car had one.

Just thought I should show everyone this beast. Not everyday that you find something like this. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/597428507.html
