Ok, there's also that, and I found the very expensive Kameari flywheels
-
I'm trying to decide which lightweight flywheel to choose for my L28ET. I did some searching, and came up with the following brands: SPEC, Clutch Masters, RPS, and Fidanza. Does anyone have any of these flywheels installed who can give me some feedback on their products? I have a Fidanza flywheel in my MR2 and I really like it but it's not the same engine or layout. Right now I am leaning towards them strictly based on price.

I guess it would be good for a track-only car, since you'd never pass smog, and it's kinda illegal (at least in my state) to put an engine that's older than it's chassis in, but why not just turbo a KA? The heads flow so much better and the displacement wouldn't make that much difference
-
Has this swap actually been done before, and if so.....why?
-
Are there stampings or markings on the diff/gears that allow you to identify which differential is in your car? I bought a 240Z and the previous owner claimed to have installed an LSD, but did not know which type it was.
-
Really just looking for the gear ratios, or at least the transmission codes so I can look them up.
-
Who knows, maybe...
-
I'm very interested in one of these; I'd much rather pay you $350 then $700+ to someone else! I'll need one by mid-april
-
Ahhh... good point. Looks like I'll just have to go aftermarket later on...

Hey guys, I'm trying to do an L28ET (w/ P90A head) swap into my '73 240Z. I'm on a tight budget because I'm saving up for a Z32 tranny and all the necessary swap parts. I read here (http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm) that the L26 cam is the largest stock L-series camshaft. Well it just so happens that my Z has an L26 in it currently; hurray! I have to double check the head code to confirm, but I was thinking of putting that camshaft into my L28ET before installing it into the car. I assume this isn't a drop-in affair. What would I have to do to make this work? Does timing come into play?

Hey all,
I am interested in swapping a manual Z32 transmission into my S30. I've tried searching for the gear ratios for the transmissions but haven't had much luck. I guess I'm trying to find the one with the tallest gears since I'm aiming for top speed (obviously the differential/final drive ratio will come into play here; I think I have an R200 in my car but I haven't cracked the pumpkin open to check. All I know is that the previous owner installed an LSD). Is there a list somewhere that shows the ratios of the different transmissions, between n/a and turbo, and if there were any differences between the years?

I'm gonna quote Dave Coleman who writes for Sport Compact Car:
"Here's your answer in only three words: buy a Miata. You, my friend, need to face some hard facts. First, you can't drive. You have no business in a Z until you've learned some skills in something balanced, rear-drive and underpowered."
I'm making my lil' bro buy a Miata as his first car. They're cheap, good on gas, parts are cheap, and so many people own them that there's tons of help and resources available. There's even a race series devoted strictly to Miatas. It is the ultimate entry level sports car IMO. I only wish it could've been my first car. The only other car I can recommend is a first generation Toyota MR2, which is similar to a Miata, but less popular and harder to work on.
Oh, and my only other advice is don't spend money on mods! Save cash for repairs because you'll need to make them, and if you want to be good, go to racing school. $4,000 spent on racing school will make you faster than if you drop $4,000 into your car.
-
Shoulda added that sound clips would be good too; wigenOut-s30, do you have a sound clip for yours? I'm pretty interested in trying a Magnaflow. I had dual Magnaflows on my 3.8L Lumina and they sounded great. Also, what spoiler do you have?
-
Having exhaust that doesn't exit the bodywork
-
Yeah I was gonna say....that wouldn't fly if I try to Auto-X this thing...

FD. Price, parts availability, overall sexiness, and you can throw a V8 in it (if you must). But you should just stick with the 13BRE, enhance the cooling system so it won't blow up, and do some minor mods so it's faster. Done, and done. I love Porsches, but stuff costs probably 50% more for the Porsche than it would for the Mazda.
-
Just needs a front bumper and grille, and some paint. Have you seen the Sport Compact Car '08 WRX? They did BASF flat black on it and it looked great. Of course you have to take it to a spray booth to have it come out like they did.
-
Since we're asking semi-n00b questions, do you need to make any modifications to attach the Z31 turbo to the L28ET? Do you need to tune it afterward (I would imagine it would be beneficial but is it necessary)?

I'm guessing they're American Racing wheels from the 80's - 14x7
They're for sale! (shameless plug) With 215/60/14 Cooper Cobras that stick to the road like a snake??
I wanna get Watanabe RS-8's but for the same money I could get the Wilwood 4 wheel disc brake upgrade and a set of the obligatory Sport Max 002's so I think I'll go with that instead

I'm swapping an L28ET in my S30 this spring. I'm trying to make a decision on which muffler to go with; I'd also like to see some people's exhaust setups so I can show it to the custom exhaust shop I go to. I'm not too fond of the canister-style mufflers even though they're probably the most efficient. I guess I'll start it off:
-
I'm actually thinking of getting an I/C where the inlet and outlet are on the same side; less plumbing should translate to quicker response, right?
-
I just want to double check that the year is alright. I know people use NPR intercoolers, but for all I know they could be using I/C's from older year trucks.
-
Tried searching, came up with nothing, surprisingly. Anyhow, I'm looking online at a 2000 NPR intercooler, just wanna make sure it'll work in my S30.
Official L28ET swap ... Having a brain fart...

Sorry guys, I forgot where to find the official "L28ET into an S30" swap guide online. I've been searching for a while now and I can't find it. I need to read up on the wiring and fuel tank/lines bit mostly. Help plz? Thanks!
