godgaveussid Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Snapped the driveshaft on my 280Z. It has a perfect interior and amazing exterior but has 210,000 miles on it so thought it would be kind of pointless to swap out the tranny and not the engine too. It is a n/a but I would like to go turbo. I think I may have found a l28et engine/tranny combo and was wondering how easy or hard the swap is...are they the same mounts? Will it bolt up? How often are these swaps preformed? If I were to get a shop to do it what would be a ballpark quote for labor? Wiring? Thanks guys any feedback is appreciated.

godgaveussid Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 BTW...anyone in Midwest wanna do this swap? If so, how much will you charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ok.. welcome to Hybridz.. IF you do a quick search, or glance over a few 'stickys' here, you'll get all the answers you need. You'll also come up with a few more questions, and in turn will most likely find the answers to THOSE as well.. probly by another little search.. Feels weird for me to post a 'SEARCH DAMNIT!' reply.. oh well. heh heh.. I'd say (rough guess here..) a turbo L28 swap is gona run you a few grand.. where as a simple driveshaft replacment, well.. I bet SOMEONE here has one or three lying around their shop that they'd sell you cheep. A turbo swap IS cool though... Anyway, I'm sure there is someone in the midwest who could help you with the swap, or maybe do it for you.. Us Hybridr's are a fairly friendly bunch!
