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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
