Guest Anonymous Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 hey guys i thought that u nissan guys would be able to help me. im about to get a 240Z and i want to swap in a SR20 but i was wondering if there would be any problems with that. how much it would roughly cost and so on any help will be apreciated. and what other engine swaps would be good other than the V8's (RB26DETT ect) thanks in advance. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Dan cant help you much but scroll down about 22 posts from yours and there is post "sr20 or rb" its about three pages long. that should be good start. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 grassroots motorsports had a project car or something and sold it to somebody, something like that. and it was a 240Z with a sr20det. maybe send them a email and ask some questions. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Mike, that was a 240sx, not 240z. David K. on this board knows of at least one 240z with a SR20. But I'll echo Ivan's comments, take a look at previous posts. That will answer many of your questions. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 bob H, not saying your wrong at all, im more then likely wrong but from what i was told it was a 1973 240Z, with gorund control coil-overs, red top SR20, and lots of rust. ill see if i can get the email i got from them. Thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 fair enough. I'll say there was a 240sx project car for GRM. I have no knowledge of a 240z project car. Actually, I talke to them about being one of their project cars with my current project..... I'd love to see if there was another 240z with a SR motor. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 @Pilon I plan on doing the exact same thing. The engine I already found, the car not yet though. If you knowof someone who can make the engine and gearbox mounts please do share. There's still not much commercially available for this particular swap.

Guest FullBoostOrBust Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I am also doing this swap, I just bought a 71 240Z for this project and allready tracked down a R200 Turbo Diff thats on its way to me. Also looking for mounts my self, found a mate in AU but donno if he's down to make mounts for me. I'm in NYC USA, lets share our knowlage on this very rare and sick as hell 240Z conversion, can we say midship 2,200lbs/300whp? giddy up.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 That would be my aim. Keeping the engine behind the front wheels, sorting out suspension and bracks ... That should make it a really fun track machine as well as a gorgeous car to look at. 8) Any progress I make, I'll post here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Going over to France soon to pick up a race prepped 240Z. After that it's off to Holland to pick up an SR20DET. And then ... I need to find someone to help me fab the custom bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
