  1. I'll get those to you tonight!
  2. I can't PM you back because it hasn't been 30 minutes, but the pan i've got is the rear sump. Let me know what you want to do. I'm willing to work with you on it.
  3. Thats who I bought my motor set from. Great to deal with.
  4. I didn't watch the second vid posted. But, did anyone watch the video of the mom on a dirt bike? So horrible yet so funny. It's one of the recommended ones for the vette.
  5. I'm very interested in this. STI diffs are extremely easy to find here in Subaru Mecca (CO).
  6. Hey guys, I copy pasted this to here. Let me start by saying that I am not a mechanic. I do this as a hobby and this entire build is a learning experience. I am diving in headfirst on it with guns drawn :pedo: I'm going to use this thread to document the build of my new to me 240z. Here is the car the day after I bought it. I found it on Craiglist for $3250. An old lady was selling the car. Her husband had recently passed away and she just wanted it out of her garage. I was able to talk her down to $2500. The car had the original Nissan Motor keys, owner's manual, and service records!!! Only 60,000 original miles. It wasn't running but a new battery, spark plugs and gas fixed that. I had it towed from Boulder to Highlands Ranch (thank god for AAA) and had it running in about an hour and a half. Here it is the second day. Look at the paint! After washing and buffing/waxing it still has some gloss in it! I immediately started ordering parts for it ::driver:: Here is the spoiler I put on it: I also ordered fender flares and a front vented air dam: I'm waiting to put the fender flares on for when I have my wheels. And here's a little teaser of what's to come: I put my front air dam on. It looks pretty good for a quick rattle can job. You can tell it's not the same as the original paint because its WHITE and the car is off white from age. My engine showed up a few days later. I took the engine to a buddies shop in Sedalia, which is about 20-30 minutes south of where I live in Littleton. I had originally planned on doing the swap there, but I decided against it. So there my engine sat for the last two months. My girlfriend bought a house in august, and closed the 1st of September, so we had our hands full with fixing it up. (Thanks obama :doh: ) After it sat for two months I decided to move it to our house. The day before I was bored at work and looking for a transmission. You can use the 300ZX transmission if you bolt the RB front half of the bell housing to it. I found a great deal just by luck and called the guy immediately. The next day I had a 1992 JDM 300ZX TT transmission sitting in my garage. And then the fun began. Seeing as how many people can be shady about JDM parts, I decided I'm going to give this engine a nice refresh. New piston rings, bearings, gaskets all around, hone, etc. I started tearing into it and at first thought I was in way over my head. I had never worked on anything Nissan before, let alone a GTR engine! RB26 Bitches! After working on it over the weekend/today here is how the engine sits right now. The right side is much dirtier... This weekend I plan on pulling the head, rods/pistons, and crank out to take the engine/crank to a machine shop. Oh, and since I <3 JDM ish (fan boi?) here are the badges I have for "her"
  7. RB26DETT. I already have the RB20 pan, just no pickup.
  8. What mods would need to be done to the 200zxr pan for the pickup? Let me know on a price!
  9. What about doing a custom oil pick up for an RB26 with Rb20 pan?
  10. It's not on this forum. He's on skylineownersUSA
  11. T4 flanged for dual wastegates. $2200 shipped I believe. Coated. I'll find his post.
  12. I know someone selling a full race manifold. I think he wants around 2k.
  13. Looks awesome! Great read. I'm doing the same with mine as soon as I start tearing into it, but going with LAC (Ultimate black opal, GTR SpecV color)!
  14. My friend who lives out in CA says they are the best. I haven't talked to them about an oil pan but I would imagine their response is like everywhere else.
  15. Well if you ever decide to sell one let me know. I might just try making one, don't know if my welding is up to the task though!
  16. No reply yet... I'm thinking it's a dead end.
  17. I emailed them yesterday. We'll see if I get a reply.
  18. I've seen a couple on eBay every once and a while.
  19. I'd like a quote on how much for you to make one for me! PM me if interested.
  20. I'm also looking for a set! Good luck! If I see an extra I'll let you know.
  21. Yes OEM. The one's I see on ebay are aftermarket and not what I want.
  22. I'm having a hell of a time finding a set. Anyone have some they are looking to get rid of please let me know!
