June 20, 200222 yr comment_9115 Well yes, you will need to rewire almost everything. The tranny you have must go and use a 300ZX tranny (although I have heard people have found ways to use existing transmissions). From what I have heard, there will be a slight performance increase but only slight. Obviously more if you go turbo. You also need to rework your exhaust. Is this going into a 240Z? You need to find where to mount all that extra wiring and the ECU. When done properly it does look very nice, but from what I have heard and talking to folks who ave done it; They say its actually easier to slap a V8 in your Z. Opinion granted since I have done neither and probably will not. I like the simplicity of my L6.
