  1. I was just wondering anyone living down near melbourne (australia) As I am chasing after my dash to be repaired it has cracks along the top of the dash and also my console is broken in half, seems that it has cracked where the manual choke for the SU's sat. Would I be better off chasing these parts up from a wreckers?? or Will it be cheaper to get them repaired??
  2. I wasn't saying the lexus v8 would put out more power, It was just cheaper. lexus v8 is full alloy 175kilos but for 5 grand cheaper id rather get a nice paint job and some rims can always chuck a big blower on the side later on. From what i see more ppl are putting in V8's then RB engines, well in america anyway. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan and if I had the money i would be putting in the RB26. What do you run in yours smg1404?? But thanks for the advice, I am not jumping to any conclusions but it still is a serious thought, That black rig on this page is pure awesome the kazaa vidz are worth download darious 240z is around 4 mpegs, that seems to handle all right and that is some serious engine. Hey dohc, Thanks for the vote of confidence, VG30dett will be an interesting convertion indeed, Found some specs on the lexus V8 if they were the figures you were looking for At the heart of our replicas is a 4.0 Litre, 32 Value, Quad Cam, All Alloy V8. These motors are technologically advanced, delivering ultimate performance yet meeting the most stringent emissions standards, as well as providing excellent fuel economy. In standard form these motors produce 205kws (300 hp). The crisp sound from the four tail pipes rivals that of any "Supercar", leaving other drivers to inspect where the melody is coming from. cheers

    you can tell the difference between the R180 and R200 because I think the R180 has some hexagon thing on the side with 5 bolts in it or something along the lines the R200 doesn't, I am trying to find the article, I have just purchased a 260z 2 seater and own a 2 seater 260z also I will check if there is any difference in the morning Check out the size difference between a R200 (left) and R180 http://www.zhome.com/rnt/L28conversion/Diff.jpg (not the picture i was after but best I could do) Get the R-200 differential out of a junkyard '81-83 NON-turbo ZX . This will have a 3.90 ratio ('81-83 turbos had a 3.54) compared to the 3.36 in the 240 and 3.54 in the '75-78s. Some 280ZXs had a R180 rear like the 240Z, make sure you don't get one of those by mistake. Since the entire 280Z rear end will tranplant into a 240, offer them $100 for the whole rear-end and see if they bite. Talk about a wolf in wolf's clothing. Grab these parts:
  4. I am looking at putting in the lexus quad cam V8 as compared to the RB25 price difference of around $5000 into my 260z anyone have any thoughts on this??
