Ok, I'm fixin' to drop a bundle. I want to put a 5-speed (81-82-83) and R200 LSD (3.7) into my 1970 Z. What other parts and pieces are required, e.g. half-shafts, drive shaft, moustache bar, etcetera. Thanks in advance for your learned assistance. Frank

The lower rear suspension arms on my 78 280z 2+2 are rusted pretty bad, and I have two 280zx parts cars with good ones on them. Will the zx ones work on the z, if not where can I get good ones?

I've got an old 81zx that has seen better days, actually fixable but the cancer on it is sooo bad. Anyway, it has a low mileage 5sp tranny in it. Will it fit in my 73 240z? I'm thinking a bit better mileage and quieter for the 240 that is in much better shape and is now my daily driver. I don't want to get into a big project but if it would fit w/o a lot of effort I'll hold onto the ZX long enough to get that tranny out unless my wife overrules. tks Don

This may be the wrong forum in which to ask this question, and if so, I apologize. But there seems to be so many knowledgeable contributers here and I'm not sure where else to turn. My question: I recently purchased a 1991 300ZX NA 2+2 with automatic(from these classifieds!) with engine damage (the timing belt broke on the previous owner @ 130K miles). Would I be better off repairing this engine (valves/heads only vs. complete overhaul), replacing it with a used Japanese motor (is that JDM?), or could I swap in a twin turbo engine. If I could swap in a TT, what else would have to be swapped or modified?

Just thought that I'd share that I got the JTR manual in the mail. I'm so pumped I can't wait to read it... my wife won't know what is going on since I'm not a huge advocate of reading ... Good times coming! Oh and I got a quote on my bottom end for my stroker. :laugh:

I have almost finished the rear on my 280z with a stock R200 differential and a 2 way Kazz internals from a 240sx. My 82 turbo 280zx CV axles are not seating right when they go into the diff. Is there some sort of clearance issues because im not using an 87-89 300zx diff?

So the interior is mostly different, except with the possibility of the dash? I assume everything under the hood will be the same, what about suspension, brakes and fuel lines/tank. Any input would be great, I am having trouble finding a 2seater parts car but there is a sea fo 2+2's Thanks

Are the brakes front and back on a 280Z the same as a 280ZX(rotors, drums, etc.)?. Which ones are and which ones aren't?

Edit: It's on! See the end of this thread! OK, I think I have just about got it nailed. How many of you would be interested in a plug and play wiring adapter for the 280ZX alternator upgrade on a 240Z? This would be a totally self-contained unit that would simply plug into the factory wiring harness in place of the stock voltage regulator. It would come completely wired (with the proper diode), weatherproofed and tested. No modifications to your car's wiring would be needed, so if you ever wanted to revert to stock you'd just unplug the adapter and reinstall the stock regulator. Pictures of the prototype are below. The production version may have a white plastic connect…
