G'day all,

Live in South Perth, and have, a datsun 240Z, and am on the search for an RB20DET R32 manual front cut to swap in..

Have had trouble finding a place that sells them, Rang up "japco", was told to wait 3 weeks, and call up again then... Also maytec

Anyone know of any other places i could source a low km decent front cut asap?

Thanks all.

Sean

Cuong's swap will/has cost him a shitload more than what I plan even though the end result will be awesome...

would have to do a lot more mods for the 26...$$$

On a tight budget, RB20 g/box fits straight into z driveshaft, just need to modify sump $200, mounts $100, crossmember.

then wiring around $300

Been waiting for so long for a front cut/package to get this done...

Not sure of the pricing or your budget but I know of a RB25DET manual half cut coming for less than 3K.

Guy brings in Scooby stuff and got offered the half Nissan to fill up the container and asked me if it was worth bringing in.

Let me know if your interested and I'll PM the contact details

Cheers

thanks for the advice guys.

Yeah, I've tried getting in contact with him a few times.. He is who I'd like to go through, says he can wire it, get an LSD for me etc.. just trying to get in contact with him hasn't been so easy.

I really want to go through a local company, somewhere in perth, otherwise I don't know what i'm buying interstate...

How much were you looking at under $3k? The cut must be in pretty good nick for that price, Could you pm me the details of it ? Thanks mate.

Can't wait to have an RB sitting in the bay...

Here's some pics of the zed

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
