Ray Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Was surfing the other day and came across a couple of these in Zcars in Australia. Seems like a neat swap 3.0L, twincam, twin turbo's etc. Anybody seen one ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 If you have to run a Nissan 6-cyl in your Z, the 300ZXTT or the Skyline RB26 is the one to get. The RB26 can easily make 400hp and anything beyond that is just a matter of $$$. It is not, however, a simple bolt in and requires the typical fabs like mounts, oil pan, exhaust, engine management, etc. I did read the article about the RB30 in Australia making 734hp but did you notice the amount of money they had into it? AD$36,000, thats, US$21,000+. Can someone say "Lingenfelter"? Scottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted April 20, 2000 Author Share Posted April 20, 2000 Didn't notice the dollar signs just thought it was a neat swap. Wonder if anybody has priced just a stock dressed motor from japan???? Either the 2.6 or the 3.0 . I know they started putting these in Skyline's 86 or 87 so there should be alot of them available in the other export markets. If you hear of anyone here who has done the swap, I would love to talk to them, I'm just courious??? Mine will still be a small block because of the price factor, but I am always open to other ideas if the $$$$= performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
