Hi all,

I am going into producing RB conversion parts and will be making them available for other RB swappers.

This is to fit any RB engines into 240Z/260Z or 280Z (not ZX, but maybe the sump could be used) i.e. RB26DETT, RB25DET, RB20DET or their N/A versions.

This is definite; I am getting a spare RB26DETT block at the end of the week to commence production of the sumps.

1st I am making modified oil sumps and oil pick up (sump needs to clear the steering rack and also clear the oil pick upas well), then engine mounts and gearbox mounts will follow soon afterwards.

These parts will be exactly the same as the ones that I used for my own RB26DETT conversion, which you can see by clicking the blue "My Photo Gallery" to the left of this post. So it is known to work/fit (and fit well!!!).

If you are SERIOUSLY interested you can email me at:

nguyenxcuong @hotmail.com

I beleive the engine mounts will suit all RB series motors, but I do not have an RB26 to test with.

hey mate,

I would be interested in this conversion kit as well...

Im in Sydney by the way.

No problems, I am still waiting for some bits and peices to arrive from overseas, but once I have them all I woll update this thread and notify those interested.

Thanks

Is there any updates on the RB Conversion kit for Zeds?

I will be fitting mine this weekend actually so should have photos and updates by Monday. I have the parts now but want to use them myself first to assure myself and others that they work.

I do not have a gearbox crossmember yet as it will depend on which gearbox you use, the one I will have eventually will suit RB25DET gearbox but this may be delayed depending on upcoming work travel plans.

OK, mounts and sump fit great.

Unfortunately still waiting on the correct oil pick up to arrive and also will look into fabricating gearbox crossmember.

Will update with more photos as I get time, the motor is now in the car with no dramas using these parts however the lack of a gearbox mount is really letting me down at the moment.

Everything has arrived now, please PM me if you are interested.

RB25DET gearbox cross member has been cancelled due to being impossible to fabricate as a bolt on part for sale, transmission tunnel must be modified instead.

RB20DET gearbox can be done easily with a simple cut and weld of the crossmember however I am not using this box and do not have a chance to produce them. It is an easy job that can be done at home or at least the measurements done at home and then taken to a workshop for welding.

ALL SOLD

Thanks

hey I have 74 Fairlady and I'm interested in dropping in a RB26 in my Z and trying to go AWD anybody done thator know if its even possible

Its been done, so it is possible.

What ever happend to Cuong? Is he done with his project? I'm looking to possibly start a RB26 project.

He's busy working from what I hear, having a break from fixing cars.

He still has the RB26DET 240Z, but its not finished.
