Wizzurp Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 My 280z speed sender never really worked. I swapped the skyline one in and it just reads low but it's consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 not sure about the RB20 trans, but the RB25 requires a Navara/D21/Nissan hardbody truck sender. Depending your ratio, you can swap the RB20 skyline gear onto it with a little fab work. Details are on this site. Good luck with the build! I love my RB-Z and will never let it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro I was able to slid the speed gear in the rb20det trans with a little grinding to put the lock bolts thing on! not sure about the RB20 trans, but the RB25 requires a Navara/D21/Nissan hardbody truck sender.

I love my RB-Z and will never let it go I cant wait to drive this car! I know the rb25det has electronic speed sensor and the rb20det has the mechanical one.

bestlowrida Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Back at it! Got the walbro 255lph mounted up. All I did was mount the pump to some sheet metal I had laying around then mounted the it to some threaded holes(maybe for a optional stock efi pump?) and secured it down with some bolts a had laying around. Datsun/nissan really made this conversion pretty simple.The wiring for (green pos? and blk for ground) it is right there too! Here are some pics and a video. It took like 3 hours.

bestlowrida Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Installed these LED headlights! I tested them before I installed them. They are bright! I don't recommend the ones with the box on the harness because it didn't it into my headlight housings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Those looks more like flood lights than a headlight with a proper reflected housing. What does the light pattern look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestlowrida Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Those looks more like flood lights than a headlight with a proper reflected housing. What does the light pattern look like? Here is the link to exactly what I bought. Just the middle lights turn on with low beam, pattern unknown yet its been raining everyday since. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-7Inch-Round-150W-Total-CREE-LED-Headlights-Hi-Lo-97-16-JEEP-JK-TJ-LJ-Wrangler-/131788126071?hash=item1eaf2f3777:g:hCcAAOSw0UdXuqR9&vxp=mtr I had purchased a half radiator and installed it using stock body bolt holes! This car is so mod friendly! Its a 2 core honda radiator with a shroud and fan. Evo and honda guys swear by them. I sourced info from here and pulled the trigger to try it out for the rb20det weekend warrior/garage queen. http://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/607105-installed-ebay-civic-half-size-radiator.html I will document temps and conditions as well. I just couldn't spend 350+ for custom rad + shroud +fan yet. 85 bucks later its installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
