KAZU Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Oil filter mount. Brace between front cross member and TC rod pivots. Engine bay has been painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Battery is relocated from behind the seats to engine bay. Mine doesn't have master cylinders there. Passenger side is occupied by oil tank. A trigger wheel once was mounted on the crankshaft. The problem is the sensor mounting. I can't figure out how to design a rigid sensor bracket. Crank case vacuum control plumping. Cam covers to vacuum regulator to one-way valve to the oil tank. Oil temperature sender is relocated because I placed it dead end of the oil passage in the filter block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Following, hope you can post some more updates. Very tempted to do a similar swap myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello guys. I spent 3 months to pass the paper work for the engine swap. In Japan, engine swap even on old cars requires proof of engine specs, proof of strength of drive shaft, engine mounts, etc. My car had been registered with RB26 and RB25 I swapped at this time is essentially less power so it is generally easy to prepare the registration application. Problem was the inspection officer was so young, not so experienced. When the application was accepted, he said that this application was good opportunity to study how to review the engine swap registration. During the period I also completed the application for rack and pinion, LCA and steering shaft swap. I've already gotten reproduction headlight covers and used genuine trims. My car is for track use so I do not want put the genuine trims. I am going to fabricate the cover trims because no reproduction attempt fulfilled until now. Rear collision is repairing. I am going to use Prius power steering shaft. More power than Suzuki k car's which is on my car now. Bead roller DC motor modification. I also made pedal-actuated shrinker. Flares cracked here and there. Repaired with fiber glass and filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Front struts is still 240z right now. My setup is Z31 turbo hubs with wilwood Pantera hats, Coleman 13" rotors and 1st gen Viper calipers. These parts will be replaced with E36M3 spindles with 330-32 AP floating rotors, wilwood 6 pot SL calipers. I finally got sets of AP floating rotor bobbins. Taller bobbins have too much floating play. I'll use shorter set. Also I've gotten a set of Wilwood rotors and hats which I do not use. I'll order a set of billet hats for AP rotors. New welding helmet is amazing. Less than $100 and large lens area. Edited May 31, 2017 by KAZU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
