Guest Anonymous Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 Has anyone done a 300zx engine conversion to a 260Z? Does it require an engineers report?What sort of difference will it make? I'd love a turbo .Any Aussies on the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lambsr Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 I'm helping a friend put a VG30DET into a 260Z using a wrecked (rolled) 240Z chassis as a mule. To answer your Q's: - Yes it will require an engineers cert (and a VicRoads inspection). We have a recognised engineer acting as a 'consultant'. - approx 190kW stock output. More than enough to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Bayley Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 Nick, OVer here in the states, the biggest concern on 1st generation 300ZX motor's in early Z(ed)'s is to get the steering shaft around the turbo. With a right hand drive car, however, things might be a little easier. Either way, I've seen it done a few times before so it's very possible. -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Greg Dupree at Precision Z in Rhesda CA has built a badass VG30DETT car that was featured in the Nov/Dec issue of Z Car magazine in 1997. I spoke to him about the install and he said it was a really straight forward swap. I don't know if he is still there but you might want to give him a call and see if he has produced any motor mounts or other parts.
