Guest Look A Z Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Okay now, my parents are now offering me my dad's old 240z for $500. It runs but just need new u joints. I guess they finally figured out I was serious about this but anyways. I am looking at doing a L28T swap or possiblity a Sr20DET swap. If someone is in the Bay Area is willing to do the swap for me, I will pay them. I just want to know how much I am looking at first. Thanks everyone. I just probably need someone do the swap and maybe help me find some parts but thats about it. I can help but I might be in the way also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Not in bay area, probably 300 miles or so south of you, but I would be willing to help you out if there were any chance the car could visit me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Drive the car, enjoy it, and find a donor car or something. L28ET is probably going to cost you less and be less hassle (for sure on that one), since it "plugs right in." If you are honestly going to pay someone to do the whole thing, I think your looking at big dollars. Why not make it a project and beg for help? I could probably try to help, I am doing this soon myself, I have a donor car and will be working on that for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 email me offline, ill do a turboL motor swap for you, but you have to get EVERYTHING ready before hand, about a month downtime-cant work on it everyday. Sr20et, will cost you about double, motor and trans costs more and i dont even want to touch that harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Look A Z Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Finding a donor car is no problem, the only problem that I have, I have no knowledge AT ALL about how to do this stuff!!!!! I am like totally clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest livewire23 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I probably don't have the time to do it all for you, but if its a project and you're beggin for help, I could probably spare some time to help you out... If you do the L28 it should be cakewalk. I might even let you use my garage if I move the 280Z out... Just pay for the cherry picker, cuz I dont have one. But I got tons of other tools... PM me and I'll see if we can work something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 If you get a running donor you can probably even use the fuel pump, although an upgrade and an adjustable regulator would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
