ArchetypeDatsun Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have a question for the guys that have done this swap or similar into a 280zx ok i'm going to install a neo rb25det into my 81 280zx i don't need help putting the motor i need help on the oil pan i have to use for the neo rb25det will i be able to use the same kind of oil pan from the z31 200zr oil pan (rear sump) from japan? Another thing is will the rear end axle take all that power or will i have to modify just the limited slip to a 2 way, will my drive shaft fit in place? I've ordered the neo rb25 and a 5 speed rwd transmission to go with it, one thing i dont get is when i have the engine and transmission in will the transmittion fit where the old l28e transmission shift knob was.

frank280zx Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes and no search!! It is the same as in an s30 just the clearance on the steering linkage might be off. A good r200 wil not break not even with 700 RWHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchetypeDatsun Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Oooo nice ok that clears one of my questions, the neo rb25 i have is good but the transmission that came with it sucked so i sold it, in order for me to have a successful swap i need the rb20 transmission and it will line up perfectly where i need the shift knob, i could go easier and get a rb20 engine but i already have this one.
