Guest Jeff Rimmer Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 I have a line on an 84 300 ZX but it needs a tranny and some body work. The engine is in perfect condition, at least it looks and sounds like it. 187 000km's on it. So I have a 77 280Z tranny sitting here, but I will only purchase the car if the tranny will fit, as I do not want to spend the money on it. Also what rear end is on this car? I understand the 77 rear end will hold out on my 383 swap, but if the rear end is stronger on the 84, it might be worth purchasing simply for the rear end. By the way he is only asking $350 Canadian for it. Thanks JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 The L28 trans will not fit on the VG30. Not sure of the ratios on the 84 R200, but it's easy to check - jack up one wheel, mark drive shaft (shifter in neutral), turn the jacked up wheel 10 times and count the number of driveshaft revolutions, divide by 5. It should bolt up, but again, you'd only be going from a 77 R200 to an 84 R200 - same diff, but likely a different ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
