I need some idias for parts to put in my engine. like exausts, blowers, headers,and stuff. If you have any ideas please tell me!!

the best way to go would be putting a 82 83 turbo engine, rebuild it making sure everything is good. t3 t04 turbo, intercooler and not that stupid starion one either. blow off valve, boost gauge, sds fuel management, cold air intake, stanza throttle body, 280 b 5 speed transmission, ACT 6 puc clutch, aluminum flywheel, quaife lsd for the R180 rear with hirgher ratio of course, 3 inch exaust from the turbo back, straight threw design muffler, new springs struts, bushings, good tires, and you should have a few bucks for gas when your done too.

thats the best fastest and easiest way to go. you also get a 240 with about 300 hp

nice huh and its all still nissan gotta love that

Dude 8 grand + 240Z will get you FLYING

How good condition is the car in - you might want to spend a bit restoring it to look nice too since you have so much to invest into it...

RB engines! (well depends where you are though) if your not in the US then a turbo RB Engine will give you more than enouth power

RB20DET will give you 210hp to 400hp for way way less than 8000, and RB25 will give you 250hp - 500 for way less than 8000 and then there's the RB26DETT which will give you 280hp - 1300+hp depending on how much you want to spend.

Cyong has a stock RB26DETT in his 240 and pulls 11.1's I think.

How much would a RB25 cost???? Would it be good to put a 280 5 speed trans with a RB25???

Thanx 4 all the help guys keep the advice coming!!!!

[Ivan]

they usually come with the R32 or R33 gearbox when you buy the engine, mine cost $2800NZD ($1200USD) it came with the R32 gearbox and ECU attached, see http://www.hybridz.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=000125 for a good secription of what to do and the other bits you will need (oil sump, engine mounts, etc)

Can i do the same swap with a 280z??? Would it basicly be the same thing and be just as easy to install??????

[Ivan]

I guess so, the L blocks inter-chage between them so it should be the same
