wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Seems a bit pricey, but nonetheless would make a nice project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't know, that body looks pretty good. No pictures of the under side though. For the motor swap, I would say that around 3k might be a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 shit that is tempting, I have a 7 k budget for another play toy, and I have another skyline rb26 clip that I could never sell , and 2 spare rb25 trannys........ ONLY thing is I wonder the history of the car, i was either looking for a 510, 260, or 280z but was going to hold out and get one in the california area, im going to email this guy and go take a look at it tonight and let you guys know the shape of it. If i did get it someone on here could buy the shitty motor in it for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any z car can always pull off the old school mesh wheels and look modern yet still bad ass with alot of taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend lots of time on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho toyota engines are great hands down, id like to keep it a nissan engine if i went this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 swapping an rb into a 240sx is more complicated then a z car im sure, the space in the 240 sucks, wiring any nissan/datsun harness gets easy with the more you do, getting a nice engine mounts and tranny mount set up are so easy to come by anymore you can find them used on nissan sites almost every week from fallen projects......... I dont get why a toyota engine would be more easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 my friend has a sr20det z very impressive considering the engine is mostly stock, the car is still impressive due to its weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get why a toyota engine would be more easy? Because all you need to swap it in is a set of Jaguar V12 engine mounts or a $300 crossmember from a certain vendor. An RB actually takes quite a bit of fabrication to make even fit. You have to modify several parts of the engine for everything to fit and clear, namely the oil pan and pickup. In the words of someone that completed an RB swap (one of the stickies in the RB section): For anyone considering this mod if you’re in Japan or Australia or have a lot of money go for it…. Anywhere else id go with v-8 or Toyota 2jz TT which is a very similar in performance to the rb26 Someone else in the Toyota section has said about the 1JZ: "If the Z came from the factory with no motor, it would be as if these two were made for each other".
