No idea, but if you're going to do it, why not turbo?

[jake33]

yes, do a turbo if your going to all that effort!

part of me wants say no to the RB and stick with the old engine and slap on a turbo but the other part of me thinks it's a good upgrade.

260Z is my classic hero car.

Personally I wouldn't touch a 260z. I'd leave it original. It is already slowly starting to fetch more and more money (I have seen some go for over 15k) and if the trends continue I think it is going to be a true classic car a few more years down the track. I would love to get my hands on a 260z.

I'd swap my car for a well done up 260z in a heartbeat.

the reason why i was going for a rb25de and not rb25dett is cause of that stupid p plate law and too many cops no me as for goin for the L28 turbo its going to cost nearly as much but is very hard to track down tubo set ups in australia because they only came out in the usa

ps i have 2 260z

as would i (240 included)

I swear I've seen some for $500 ...

[dat260z]

yeh they do go for that price sometimes i was lucky enough to get my second z for that price although it was quite rusty, its taken nearly 2 mounths to cut the rust out and glass and weld the rust holes and the was some bigens so for about an extra $500 of sheet matal, welding rods, glass and some blade putty im now upto $1000 minus seats and carpet and its still unpainted.

as for my first z its cost bout $5000 and it has reconditioned struts $500, recon front end $500, new exaust (yet to be put on), recon 350 holley $120 (its too small need bigger), new/old simmens rims $300, new carpet $200, new tyres $680, new gbox $300 but the price riped me and moved to uk so ill need a new one again plus bits and peices valued at bout $150, so in total money spend rebuilding =$2750 plus $2650 for the car hears some pics still more to do and the spoked rims are no longer on the car but still have them
