Guest Anubis Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I'm planning on doing a RB25DET swap into a 280Z. I'm looking for any technical help, advice, instructions, etc. I'm a first timer at really doing this type of thing but it seems like a better idea then the L28ET. Cause so far I've had no luck sourcing parts for that motor and the one I have need alot of work done to just run,lol, let along build up to be high performance. I'm looking for anyone whos done this or knows about it. Like where I can get motor mounts, wiring, etc. Thanks for any help. For this will be the powerplant for ProJect Anubis.

Guest Anubis Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 what no help,lol? Actually would the RB26DETT bolt up to the RB25DET tranny? Whatelse would I be looking at to complete the swap? I'v also found that if i went ahead and did the RB25DET motor and tranny swap in the Z now I could pull out the RB25DET and swap it for a RB26. Do you think the motor mounts and all would work for something like that? I'm going through the forum right now looking for people who have done this conversion for advice.

Taffy Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 To answer a question above, the RB25 tranny mounts to the RB26 no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anubis Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 can you buy tranny mounnts somewhere Or do you have to be creative? I read somewhere that the motor mounnts out of the Z31 can be used as a direct bolt in, is there any truth to this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 81na ZX Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Only the 200ZR Z31 mounts. They are for the RB20 powered z31. Where to get them: aussie/NZ/Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preith Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Does so I checked before I posted Does NOT!! The search only finds recent stuff since the beginning of the year. BTW, anyone have an ETA on when it will be back up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anubis Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Well i've been reading and studying some more. Curious to anyone whos done this. Will the motor mounts have to specific? or could I use a set of motor mounts for both the RB25 or 26? Intrested cause i haven't set on which motor i want yet? Also looking for a good price for one. I figured that I should just get a front clip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anubis Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 also some other things that I've looked into doing at the same time as install should be:? Intercooler (mandrel bent piping cut then have it custom fitted and welded back together for the IC piping) intake manifold higher pressure fuel pump exhaust (3'') turbo timer anything else you'd reccomend?
