So this correct?

Tomball/magnolia area

While im waiting for my mounts and oil pan to get here can someone point me in the direction of the best wiring write up for a zx? or is the one that is a sticky on here the best?

Went ahead and ordered a oil pan from pat1. Hopefully will have the motor and trans mounted next weekend. But it just depends on when I get the pan.

I have replacement ones coming from a guy. So when those get here I'll install and post a pic then.

The one one the motor is what came with it. And the black ones are the ones I ordered. You can see the one that was modified to match.

Those mounts appear to be at a 90 degree angle. The other guy I seen pics of with a rb20 in his s130 had the mounts with like 45 angles. That's what makes me question it.

Are yalls trans straight in there or slanted? Wanna know how mine should look.

I had the motor trans in there but was concerned with how it was sitting in there. The shifter was more towards the passenger side of the hole in the floor, meaning the motor was in there at a angle.

Block sanding is just so much fun. haha

Anymore progress on your build?

Any one else's return line hit the steering unit?

The wrong ones apparently. Haha. My engine only came with one so I bought a pair off flebay and apparently they were for a different rb. I've also heard that the bolts holes on the crossmember may need to be slotted. Any one have any input?

Can anyone post pics of their mount setup of a rb20 in a 280zx. The mounts I have didn't work.

A few pics of my not so nice looking homemade oil pan.

So a update I'm getting ready to put the motor in sometime this week. I'll take updated pics when it's done.

So this one wont get the rb or restored. found a better condition project along with a whole parts car.

Keep up the good work man. Makes me want to delete the rear bumper on my current one. Had a ton of hours in the last one with a ton more to go though.

Any help here with how to separate this? Trying to salvage this t-top but its getting closer to going to scrap. Passenger side is the same way if not worse. Going to redo the whole floor support once i get the floor repaired. Any help on how to separate the floor pan from the rail is greatly appreciated. Sorry about the crappy pictures.

Yay rust, but i think that was the easiet fastest fender removal that ive ever done.

So I have been slacking alot. Besides ordering a few parts not much progress has been made. I set a goal of September 30th to have the car running and in primer. And with a wedding and everything it has very little time to waste on anything else that has been taking up most of my time. Not to mention the rain we been getting here. Anyway so far all Ive really done is pull the old motor and driver side carpet. And yes that line of what appears to be dirt by the gas pedal is my "shop" floor which is dirt. And the whole driver side floor support will need to be cut off and replaced. Any suggestions for this?

got one thanks

Does anyone happen to have a rb20det ecu they are asking a crazy amount for?

I Ned a rb20 engine harness. Any help is appreciated.

I have one. But needs machine work and I'm in texas.
