Feb. 3,2011 Got home from work today and received my 3.00" 90 degree couplers from silicone-intake and it's time to mount up my intercooler. So install 3.00" coupler into s30 existing hole with intercooler mounted. While that was done at the moment, I decide to mount up the MAF piping setup. I used the stock rb26 outlet turbo housing adapter that came with the turbo, 90 degree coupler with straight 2.50 pipe. Straight coupler onto T-pipe, then another 90 silicone coupler bent into 2nd turbo using after-market turbo housing. Other-end went into a straight 2.50" to 3.00" reducer using a twin turbo z32 MAF(mass air flow) with a Copycat HKS mushroom air-filter install Finally call it a day.Â

i have a 260z, but is using a 240z bumper on it. got a extra 240Z rear bumper in okay condition. pm then will go from their. thanks

Jan. 28, 2011 Friday, after work I went and pick up my intercooler from the welding shop and drop off some pipe to get it welded for my MAF setup. I was very impressed on the guy work on the intercooler. Pipe that needed to be welded into a T. 90 degree bent with straight pipe, both 2.50" Jan. 29, 2011 That Saturday after noon I went back and pick up my T pipe. When i got their he wasn't even done. So for a 20 minute wait, I got to see how he did it. Tag n ready to be welded. Him in action, and yes it is a messy and scary shop to go into with his tools everywhere. But with his work of art, it doesn't scared me, it just makes me wanna go their more lol. The final result of the T-pipe welded in place.

Jan. 27, 2011 A new shipment arrive this morning and it was my 90 degree bent 2.0" coupler from silicone-intake with a straight 3.0" coupler for my twin turbo piping to the intercooler. I went ahead and install the 90 degree to both turbo housing with a "Y" steel pipe that Mark Rolston's gave me from his previous rb26 swap. It was nice of him to gave it to me for free, and I just had to covered shipping charge from Dallas Texas. While installing the 90 degree coupler onto both turbo housing it looks that the 2.0 clamps won't work with regular 12 mm bolts. So I went to the hardware store and bought a 3/8 driller and 4 flat allen 12mm bolt. Got home and use the 3/8 driller to drill the turbo housing holes for a flat surface so it will have room for the steel clamps to be tighten. There it is everything bolt up like I had plan. Then from the y-pipe end housing, I use the 3.0" straight coupler because I was lazy and didn't want to take a trip to the welding shop and get the straight 3" mild steel pipe welded. So here it is my rb25dett intercooler piping setup. Now I'm just waiting for my intercooler to get welded from the shop. I cut the outlet flange and want to install the 90 degree aluminum to the outlet  and waiting for my 3.0 Inc couplers to arrive.

Bump, still looking!!

I need a pair for my airdam. Pm me or contact me through here. Thankyou

your project looks good, but needs a bit of work. Be sure to post up picture of the 260 in progress when you have the chance. btw good luck with the build.

Jan. 19, 2011 Today, I decide to mount up my intercooler piping onto the s30. While before doing that, I'm need to install the Freddy intake manifold to mock up the piping. Freddy manifold looks crappy I kno, but it's okay it's going to get sent out to Eric, over in Wisconsin to get it fix and powder coat like the rb25 valve covers and rb26 heat shields. I went ahead n install the big q45 throttle body onto the manifold and the leakage is hitting the side of the engine bay. I was wondering if this could be my engine mounts that are not mock up correctly, or is this a problem for all guys that are running the q45 throttle-body? I then decide to turn it the other way around with the tps facing that way for now so I can mock up my intercooler piping. Another problem! While, I was about to install the intercooler pipe, I notice that the q45 throttle-body will not clear with the straight silicone reducer. So I went on and cut 3 Inc of it and now it clears with the reducer, yay! With the silicone reducer install onto the throttle-body, now I can mock up my intercooler piping. I am using the left over 3.0 Inc mandrel bend pipes from my recent 280z exhaust project. I am going to be using 1 45 degree bend and a half cut 3 Inc pipe to the intercooler coupler. Now to the twin turbo side, but sadly it was late and cold so I decided to called it a night.

Jan. 7 2011 Today I decide to take out the rear differential from the 260. While I was taking off the rear differential I notice that it wasn't a r180 and it was a r200. I felt happy and surprise that the last owner had already did the r200 swap. Mustache bar rubber bushing was already replace and 280z axle n stub are in great shape with no tears or wear. Now with all these goodies parts laying their, why not install the lsd differential now? I then went on and took off the mount, mustache bar and the axle flagged from the 280z r200 and install the parts onto the LSD r200. Everything bolt right up like a charm. Then went on and install it onto the 260. This bad boy took me about 30 minutes to line it up and mounted in place. Now I need the brace from member cockerstar, for the lsd Finn cover. Suspecting arrival later today. Cockerstar brace finally arrive !! Paid 45 bucks with free shipping Z31 turbo LSD r200 differential finally completely install.

Jan. 06 2011 Its been almost a month n a half since I been working on the 260. Today I decide to pull out the LSD r200 from the 87 300zx turbo that I bought for $600 in running condition. Finally the LSD r200 out of the car.Â

I was thinking that if Miguel could run 16x10.5 -32 offset upfront then ill mind just go with 16x9.5 -19 wats upfront. The reason why I want 16x9.5 up front is that I am more into the stance look, with wide wheels n polished lip look..so my best bet now is to run 16x9.5 -19 offset all around.

i am debating if i should go with the ccw classic or the rs watanabe wheels. the car is setting on ground control coil-over with kyb 5 way adjustable strut, the 1st question is, if i go with the wats, will the 16x9.5 -19 fit the front? if yes,i would be running all 4 in the same negative offset, by the way i will be using bamf fender flares. 2nd question, will 16x10.5 clear my suspension setup? i seen a blue 260z online on stancenation.com and he is running the ccw classic 16x10.5 -32 all around and it seem to flush fine with the zg fares but doesn't no his suspension setup. pix below is the car im talking about.

Bump..really need one guys..help me out

I dnt have any access to any of those that are listed above. I dont want to buy it and use it for this cutting only. This was what I have n mind.

Actually I wanted the rb25 because it's about 12lbs and the rb20 at 9lbs. They cost the same where I order the flywheel, but for the waiting time for the rb25 was so long, that I finally gave up and went with the rb20 instead. I decide to go with the 20 because I was asking 240zmaster how it perform. He mention it went will and their wasn't any chatter noise involve. As for as the 6 puck goes. I used to run these on my Hondas and it grabs good with the act pressure plate. Also i install the 6 sprug onto my 280z with the l28et swap and the performance went good. I'll keep you updated on how this clutch turns out, once the car see the streets lol.

Today I received my intercooler size 24x12x4. It appears that it won't fit the car with regular cuplers, so I'm thinking about doing like what 240hoke is doing. Welding 3" aluminum pipe on to each ends. But before I even start cutting, I wonder what tools does you guys used to cut the ends with? I was thinking if a dremal blade will do the job? Don't want to go head n do it then messed up n regret. So anyone that has cut their intercooler outlet, please post what tool? Thankyou.

I'm in the market for a brace to mount my r200 into my s30. Try contacting mm for 2 months and i have no luck at it. So finally gave up on them. So anyone who has a mm or custom brace I'll like to buy it as long as it works with the finn cover. Please pm thanks

I might have a 82-83 turbo distributor and forsure have a t-5 brog transmission, but no driveshaft. If you are Intrested then pm me. Thankyou

I sold my l28et 280z 2 months ago and have a extra 5-speed transmission from the 83 turbo car. These tranny are rare to find, if you are interested then pm me. Thanks

Nov. 23, 2010 Today I begin to mount the nismo pivot ball, 300zx na release bearing part#30502-45p00, and throw-out bearing part#30501-B6064 that had came in last week onto the rb25 transmission. -Flywheel install n torque at 80 lbs -Act clutch install n torque at 36 lbs -Rb25dett swap into the 260z

I used the same 300zx release bearing as yours. Mount the tranny onto the motor. Everything bolt right up.

Nov. 22 , 2010 For a month wait, finally my act clutch kit and flywheel had finally arrive from thmotorsports. The act kit is for the rb25, which came with pressure plate part#NO13, 6 puck spring part#6240306, alignment tool part#AT01, and a fidanza flywheel for the rb20. I know that the 300zx na will work to but it was a little too expensive so that's why I decide to wait instead. -Act heavy duty(HD) part#NS3-HDG6 $293.98 -Aluminum fidanza 9.5 lbs flywheel part#143341 $338.75Â

I prep the engine bay up, and told my freind to used his buddy paint shop. It came out okay, not the best.

finally today i got my car back from my buddie paint shop. i had them painted my engine bay instead of spraying with rattle cans. now i can finally drop my rb25 swap into the bay.
