voong413 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Which one did you end up getting by chance? I just got my hands on a 240sx throttle body and found out the brackets and springs cannot be transferred over from the 280zx (like the one from Graytech's diy) because the throttle plate rod was bigger than the 280zx. So I think I'm gonna have to convert to throttle cable instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Same here, the rod is way to big.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavearustedz Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have the bottom cooled version with the larger shaft. Used those instructions. I tapped the shaft on the TB to the size I needed, used the 240sx spacer, and opened the hole on 280z linkage with a file. It wasn't too much different.

HowlerMonkey Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Any of you guys checked out the 1992 stanza throttle bodies? They seem a lot easier to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78zstyle Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I know you are clearly asking for the conversion to linkage, but have you considered going to a throttle cable? Its so easy, would take 30 minutes tops. Took me and my dad about that with us bitching at each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought about filing down the linkage to fit, but I didn't think there was enough material to do so. You wouldn't happen to have pics of your setup would you?

m1ghtymaxXx Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I tried to do this, but got stuck when I could only find a 3 "bladed" die, which doesn't work on the flat sided shaft. Anyone know where to find such a die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
