I would say the RB30DE TT - Twin Turbo motor should bolt into a 300Z - as that was one of the factory options in Japan for the 300ZX.

Pity you don't really get Skylines over there - they are so much more nimble and better around corners than a heavy 300ZX.

A R32 GTSt weights a mere 1150kg (1kg=2.2lbs)

A twin turbo motor is a bit expensive...but I would not be sure a RB25DET would fit, as the 300Z engine bay contains a 3.0L 6 as standard.

Maybe someone who actually knows about 300Z's should reply, as I am stumbling over my own bullshit here...:(

Mildman, um no, I don't think so.

The RB30DETT was never put into a production car.

:)

rx7machine, yes the dollar is our currency (AUD$)

Here is an earlier model with an RB26DETT, so you may be able to squeeze an RB25 in there. :D

Hmm , not bad , total bullshit and all in one post.

The Nissan option was a VG30dett which is a V6 , not a straight 6.

If your R32 weighs 1150KG then I'm sure a few guys who race them will pay good money for it.

An RB series engine will fit but the question is why would you bother for the expense ?

Cheers

Ken

Waz.

Dry weight that is...but 1280kg is closer to the truth for a 2dr.

Boy o boy - I will have to actually curb the instinct to talk crap in future...let me retract my earlier statements. (I was on such a roll on other questions that I actually know a little bit about - I just got over enthusiastic in a big way)

Let it be known I official know "shit" about Z's. (I'll stick to Skylines)

Lucky I put that comment about bullshit in hey?

See I was planning on buying a cheap 300Z.. maybe a (2+2) model and putting a skyline engine it in..(the best one I could afford..) but I'm not sure what all would be involved with it.. plus, I'm not even sure if it would be worth it.. How much do new and used engines cost? thanks

Eric

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
