Guest ON3GO Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 My Hulk Z (green Z) might be beyond dead from the latest hurricane that nailed miami... if so i need to look for another Z to swap all my parts on it that arent runined. (so hope its okay ) anyways for a RB swap in a Z.. would you guys perfer a Right Hand Drive Z over a LHD usdm version because of the steering shaft and etc? or does it really not matter much. i plan on doing a pretty crazy TT setup and i have a choice between a RHD fairlady Z or a really nice 240Z shell. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RHD Datsun Dude Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Go with the Fairlady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't see how it could make any real difference. I'd go with whichever side you prefer to sit in while your driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 well it might be very well easier to have a more extreme turbo setup on a RHD Z because more space, no steering shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I personally dont think that there is that much difference in the space availible. I mean with the stock manifold you can run a full t4 without any interference. If you are running a custum setup you can allow youself even more room. Now... if you wanted to run two big turbos........ RHD might be im order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Isn't it always possible to add some links to the steering system to move it out of the way? Seems like that would be MUCH easier than changing everything over to RHD. Although that's darn sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 he's not changing anything to rhd, the car is already rhd. I say go for it mike. How many fairlady's are over here to begin with, and with a turbo setup?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 thanks olie.. ya Austin.. ill be running 2 big turbos, thats why i wondered about the extra space. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't know about anyone else but as for me a RHD RB26DETT is cooler than a LHD RB26DETT. Some people say it's a waste, but I say it's your car and you do whatever you want with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zwannabe Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 i wouldnt worry about which is cooler...it doesn't matter how cool it is if it beats you in a race, so i'd go with RHD so you can leave the steering original and have no clearance problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 If you're so worried about which side the turbos are on get a 2JZ and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcheeze36 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 what about having 2 twin turbo cars LHD 240z with the RB RHD Fairlady with an L motor and the Trust twin turbo manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 i have to many cars as it is. my blue Z is a L28ET swap right now. thats gonna get pulled for either a 610 or a 810. the blue Z will get a SR20DET or a KA24DET setup. the RHD Z will get a RB26DETT at around 700hp.. my green Z i have is also turbo'ed and has a engine swap but i dont know if its any good after the hurricane.. i havent heard any news on it. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoTheDrew888 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 If you don't buy the Fairlady tell me where it is and i'll buy it! On a serious note though, go with RHD its just so much more original and rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
