Questions on RB25DET swap for 240z:

 

hi im new here, im from the philippines and i bought a junk 240z, what do i need to do first?

 

question: if i put RB25DET is the mounting really hard? do i need to seem weld the chasi or roll bars?

 

thanks.

Keyword here being "junk" 240z, I'd strip the car down and make sure that it's not big a piece of "junk" to drop an RB in. There's more to it than welding in some roll bars.

 

What condition is the 240z in? It all depends on how you describe junk.

 

After that, you've only got the swap to worry about.

You can get mounts from Mckinney, albeit they are a bit expensive.

It would only be hard really if you tried to make them, depends on your fabrication skill I guess. I know I have no chance in making my own, haha. You can also get some frame rails from Baddog parts to stiffen things up a bit.

A Z in good condition can stand the torque and the power. Make sure you don't have any rusted weak spots in the chassis main frame (the car skeleton)

you'll be fine, just check other people's project and which mounts they used.
