flatline Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Well guys, I introduced myself a while ago, and now I am started with the complete restoration of my 260Z. When thing come together I will definitely post it in the members project section, but for now I need to clear out a few things. If this is not the right section to ask this, please let me know. I am doing a 2jz-GTE swap on this car and therefore need a lot of goodies. Only small problem is that I live in the Netherlands and I have to ship all the stuff to my place. I’ve made a list of products that I need and/or want, but I also need to be sure that the companies are able to ship it to the Netherlands and can also be trusted. The budget on the car is around € 20.000,- ($ 31.000) and I only want quality stuff. I think the list is almost complete, but to make sure of that I want you guys to tell me if I miss anything or maybe need to replace certain products with better counterparts or whatever. If you guys can help me out, then that would be great! The LIST: Datsun 260Z (check) $ 1300 2jz-GTE engine (will buy it in the Netherlands) $ 4600 R154 gearbox with plate (will buy in the Netherlands) $ 775 Mounting bracket (beta motorsports) $ 300 R200 Longnose Z31 ? Brakes 5-lug (AZC) $ 2200 Suspension (AZC) $ 1600 Front control arms (AZC) $ 558 Rear control arms (AZC) Steering knuckles (AZC) $ 179 Mustache bar (AZC) $ 199 Brace kit R200 (AZC) $ 279 Front diff. mount (AZC) $ 29 Radiator (griffin) $ 255 Intercooler (megan racing) $ 300 Fuel Cell (Fuel Safe) $ 450 Exhaust Gauges (Blitz) $ 1300 Turbo (Power House racing street kit) $ 3695 Fuel management (no idea) Fuel pump (check) Stand alone engine management (No idea) New seats Wheels Roll cage Custom made driveshaft (what do I need) ZG flares (new seals all around/bolts /hoses etc etc) If you guys can think of more stuff I really need that would be very helpful. One more problem is that I need a few important body parts: Rear back panel, rear fenders and my shock towers are in a bad shape on the lower side, are there also replacement parts for this? Thanks a lot guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 You might ask a mod to move this to a different section. I realize you're doing a Toyota L6, but it would get much more attention in the "Model Specific" forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatmilk Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 go ProEFI. look it up online or supraforums. has some good new features. second choice and more important then brand would be any system that you have experienced tuners for in your area. if they ecu isnt tuned right both a $400 dollar system (megasquirt) and a $4000 dollar system (motec) will run horribly and vice versa.

You are correct, and I will definatly want to know what my tuner is experienced with. Do you think my list will cover the most of the swap, and do you thing I go the right way quality wise?

oatmilk Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 sure eveything looks great and top notch. Besides Powerhouse which is a great kit check out ETS system turbos and talk to Tim at RREV motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
