Guest mc280z Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 ok im really new to all of this and im trying to learn but there are some things im still confused about, I have a 78 280z 2+2 l28, but i want to swap in a l28et from a 81-83 turbo which as far as i understand bolts right in, but the problem is I have an automatic now so can i just bolt a 4/5 speed up or what all will this involve. I was looking to get a 3.9 rear end also. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 yes the manual trans bolts in place of the auto but you'll need the matching driveshaft, and of course you'll need to swap pedal box's with one from a manual S30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 oh, and of course the clutch master sylinder, hard/soft lines and the slave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The 3.9 with a turbo is a bad idea. You have to shift before the turbo has a chance to spool. Ask sleeperZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Even my 3:54 seems too spin too fast. No boost in 1st gear. I sometimes launch in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
