[Windtunnel Testing the Datsun S-30 Z]

Thats so cool, the pic from the side say's a 1000 words

[1UZ-FE for 260z 2+2]

If you do go down the conversion path get a wiring loom with the engine and gearbox combo, basically buy a running setup

 

There are a few different combinations of 1UZ-FE's and it will save $, time and the trouble later on.

 

I picked up a Crown 1UZ half cut and bolted the engine in a datsun (not a Z), wasn't real hard but wasn't easy at the same time

In true Hugo style, that's just jaw dropping

Dam fine work! can't wait for the vid

[Pictures of welded R200 differential]

I welded up my R180 diff in a similar fashion but after welding the spider gears I completely welded up the carrier with a square piece of steal.

 

I have been running this car (610) with a 1uz-fe V8 for about 2 year's with no problems.

 

I will say tho it's not the best idear and is kinda dangerous as "katman" said.

Now I have welded the diff the stub axles are the weakest link.

 

but it was cheap and worked

 

here's a vid if you want to see how it drives, kinda out of control at times
