Guest ZcarInProgress Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 i have seen alot of posts with this engine in a 240z but not sure of the possibility of putting it in a 280zx... ive heard mixed opinions... some of my friends think its a great idea.... however others are comvinced it will be more trouble than its worth trying to get it to fit... if any one has some advice i would love to hear it... is this going to be a good car or will it be somuch trouble i will eventually have to put it out of its missery?

Guest FinalRights Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Someone posted a write up on dropping a 1jzgte into a 280zx. I do believe there is a thread already deticated to this topic. The 240z and the 280zx swaps can't be that much diffrent as both cars use the same basic engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik16106 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I really cant see why it would be much harder, maybe a little because the factory wiring on a 280zx may be a little more complicated, but even so, its not like you dont have to do some cutting and pasting for an s30 either.

SleeperZ Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 The only things that might be different or more difficult would be steering shaft issues or the firewall on the ZX is different - there is less room for a downpipe on the S130.

auxilary Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 i dunno if you guys have seen the 2jz motor in person, but the thing's huge. also, cyrus from hybridz is doing this conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo/s would be on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
