240z-RB20DET

[rb20_z]

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.

Not too much chance at the moment, seems like they've become a popular swap-in engine, and a few of the workshops are buying any they can get there hands on.

Why not do what Cuong did and put and RB26 in:D

[rb20_z]

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...

[fane]

They have some on their websites, might be an idea to ring....

goodluck with conversion mate, more RBs the better heheh

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

[200zRRR]

Mr Mayhem's definitely the go, he is bringing them in all the time and I am planning on getting one off him soon, PM him and he should be able to look after you (after all he is an old skool Nissan fanboy ).

[rb20_z]

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

Nice looking car:D

[rb20_z]

Once i get the swap in and finished, gonna get it resprayed midnight blue...

[VSPEC32]

Needs some overfenders and classic deeeep dish RS Watanabe's to go with that front bar. Should be a top performer once finished.

[rb20_z]

Watanabe's.... If i could afford a set of them i'd be doing an rb26

overfenders? do you mean like SG flares? (bolt on flares)

[VSPEC32]

Yeah, but you'd need deep dish rims to fit those : (

But you're right, you would be doing an RB26 conversion if you could afford the Watanabe's.

V nice!!

Maybe R34 Bayside Blue?

[DCIEVE]

very nice, 240z's are getting bloody rare!

just be patient with mayhem, he normally gets back to you eventually

[rb20_z]

lol, yeah...

I'm not very patient.. i really want to get this done, as i've been waiting for a couple months to find a cut, got hold of mayhem today

will post pics of progress once i get everything moving along
