okay so ive been doing some searching and all ive been able to find are post about RB26DETTs in 240,260 and 280Zs.. but i cant seem to find anyone whos transplanted one in a 280ZX.. reason being is im looking to do this swap sometime in the near future.. and i just need some info on this subject. one of my friends will be getting his hands on a RB26DETT and a 5 speed RWD tranny from a RB25DET already attached to it.. so if anyone out there has already done this swap or know someone who has and has pictures or any helpful info on this id really apreciate it......

all i can say is good luck

But I sure would like to. Its not to common to see engine swaps in a ZX, be the first to chart this new frontier. If I had the cash to do it I would definetly be on the ball with working it out over the winter and having it running for the summer, of this there is no doubt

Search Hybridz.org. It has been done

In the U.S. maybe it's been done but in Japan, come on, of course it has..

from this years convention, pics from icice over on http://www.zcar.com

i was the one who took those pics.. ive got more on my website.. they had 3 280ZXs with RBs in them... 2 with RB25s and 1 with a rb26.. thier rear suspension was a work of art.

woops, I didn't even notice that you started this thread, well you answered your own question.. anyways this makes me miss Japan even more, I can't wait until my S30 Twin Turbo is finished, I got a ways to go...

Boy I feel :stupid::tapemouth
