LeX Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 So here are a few pics of the couple things going on so far with my 83 maxima rb20det swap LD28 bout to come out size of LD28 vs RB20 preliminary fit The motor basically 'drops' in. In theory, you could redrill the stock mounts and just run it like that, but the shifter sits just a tad too far back so I am having spacers made to get it sitting just where I want it for proper shifter placement. There is a ton of space in the front so you can retain the clutch fan (which I am doing for now) or get nice electric fans, and still have clearance and space for a FMIC. (running stock SMIC just for right now) RB20 transmission is not big so its an easy fit in the tunnel. Stock driveshaft length may be correct as well... spline count is right to fit into RB. Should also be able to keep AC/PS no problem with just some fittings. Downpipe just needs to be changed out for clearance of steering, and bottom mount setup is fine with just a different downpipe. Everything else has ample clearance. Thanks to John and the crew at Garage Zero, we should knock this one out pretty fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Very nice. I will keep an eye on this one. I have always wanted to do something with a rwd maxima. This will have to be after the 510s tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) It's a shame a diesel had to be removed from the road, but nice swap anyway. I'm a diesel fan, as you can tell by my sig...
