sd240z

I'm swapping an R34 RB25DET "Neo" in to my '73 240z. This engine was all wheel drive. Took off the all wheel drive oil pan, took off the oil pickup, did a quick fit with the new oil pan I had....wouldn't fit.... Took off what looks like baffles from the bottom side, did another quick fit and it fits. Here's the dilema, put on the new pickup tube and tried to put the oil pan on and it won't fit.....ahhhhhhh. The pickup tube need to sit about 3 or 4 more inches to the rear....which there are holes there to bolt up the pickup tube and they line up perfect and the pan will fit with the pickup tube bolted there...the problem is...there is no hole for the pickup tube to suck oil...only the hole to bolt the pickup tube. What the %$#^& The oil pan I have is part number 11110-20p00 The pickup tube is part number 15050-20p03. I'm wondering if the RB26DETT, since this was an all wheel drive motor has the same problem and this replacement pickup tube won't work for that swap either. Or, do I have the wrong pickup tube...wrong oil pan...wrong engine, I'm at a loss...What pickup tube do the RB26 swappers use? This has definately thrown a wrench in my Labor Day RB swapping weekend. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Rob

Anyone know where I can find tokiko's cheaper than $114??? Thanks, Rob

This is what I found out so far: 1989 GTS-T Type M RB20DET 5 speed Gear Ratio: 1st 3.321 2nd 1.902 3rd 1.308 4th 1.000 5th 0.759 Still digging though, I have a few emails out to Japan, hopefully have something soon..... Rob

I posted this yesterday in the RB series swap thought I'd try here: I just got an email from a guy in Japan who said an R32 Type M transmission (very strong) is almost a direct bolt up to an L28. Anyone got any info on this? Year, Engine...any mods...etc. I'm waiting for a reply from him also...I'll post if I find anything else. Thanks, Rob New info: I think this tranny comes off an RB20DET.....but still waiting for more info...

Anyone have any connections with shops or friends, salvage yards in Okinawa? Or know Okinawa Motorsports address?? Rob

Hey, thanks for the replys. I checked out Mckinney Motorsports and they can definately do the conversion but way out of my budget. If I had that kind of money I wouldn't mind dropping my car off to them. They were quick to answer all my questions by email. I'll see what Tim at Fusion Autoworks here in Spring Valley has going on...if that doesn't work out I'm driving up to the Bay and drop my car off at Kito's house...I'll bring the beer. Rob

I definately appreciate what you guys do here, I have gained a wealth of knowledge. I'm interested in the RB25DET swap for my 240Z. I don't have access to the tools or machinery and it probably would be more than I could handle. Does anyone know of a place or someone that could do the swap? Thanks, Rob
