hydraulx Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I've been lurking hybridz for a couples years now but I finally decided its time to create a membership. For the last 4 years I've had S13's and a Z31, but I finally got an S30. Picked up a 1975 280Z thats pretty much completely disassembled. All the parts that should be going in the car take up at least twice as much space as the shell itself. It came with no front end but I picked up fenders, turn signals and a hood off a 240Z as well as an MSA polyurethane airdam. Need to do some prepping and painting, engine mounts and a custom driveshaft and then the CA18DET that came out of my s13 will be getting dropped in. Has anyone done this swap in an S30?

Two80z4me Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 all motors have put in, some are just more documented than others. I'd say the swap would be the same as putting the KA24 in, or am I out of line here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78nismoZ Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Well theoretically they would be the same minus motor mounts. In a 240 you can easily drop in a ca18det. The only difference is that the ka and sr mounts will make the ca sit a little more tilted, but aside from that it should be similar to putting a ka into the z.
