Skyline headers in Zed

[Black Beaut]

Hi All,

I bought a set of Trust/Greddy headers on ebay a while back. Seller said they were off an early L-engine Skyline. I never got around to test fitting them in my Zed so I'm not 100% sure if they'd fit, I'm now planning on selling them so don't want to falsely advertise them. I seem to recall that there are issues fitting Zed specific headers in to Skylines, but I don't know if the reverse is true. Any ideas folks?

Cheers,

Rob

I don't think you would have any problems fitting them in a RHD Zed. They look similar to the headers that are available for the Z down here. But I'm just guessing.

I think the issues with some Z headers in a skyline is that some Z headers have clearance issues with the Skyline Steering, since the steering assembly is behind the cross-member, whereas on a Z the steering is in front of the cross member.

Maybe grab a tape measure an check that they will fit ok.

Thanks mate, unfortunately the engine is out of car so measuring up is a bit tricky Thinking about it I might be able to compare it with a stock manifold and downpipe if I can find those again!!

Cheers,

Z headers wont fit in early Skylines.

However the opposite may not be true! I think they would fit.

Rob,

I think Alfadog is right; the manifold will probably fit an RHD S30-series Z without any problems, but look out for issues with aftermarket inlet manifolds as some of the old ones for Skylines were shaped differently ( they curved up higher when viewed from the front of the car for clearance ) and aftermarket Z manifolds might interfere.

It would help if you knew which series of Skyline the Trust manifold was originally designed for, but Skyline engine bays were usually narrower than their Z counterparts - hence the different shape of the aftermarket manifolds.
