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.

also check out JC whitney... im sure that MSA and Victoria British get thier molded carpet kits from the same place.. i bought the one from MSA and i wasnt too happy with it after a year or so.. the rear carpet kit fadded and what was once black turned into a dark purple..

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......

my cousin paid around $850 for his head that was worked on at Rebello's.. he had the head ported and polished as well

i did it.. i went to auto paint store and bought interior vinyel paint to paint my dash and other interior parts.. my dash use to be blue and i went with a light gray. before i sprayed my parts i primered it.. and went with 2 to 3 coats of the vinyel paint.. and it came out great.

is it just vibration or is there any clunking noise to it too.. if your hearing a clunking noise id suspect the u joints on the drive shaft.. but if its kist a vibration.. check your suspension.. your wheels if all the lug nuts are on tight.. jack it up and see if your wheel bearings are still good.. or bring it to a alignment shop to see if its your wheels...

if your radio works without the key then the radio is wired direct to the bat.. if our power windows or any other electricl unit wotn work when the car is on the "on" posistion then i would suspect the ignition switch.. most of the electrical units run off the ignition switch.. but like everyone says.. check your bat if you have enough amps to turn the car or alos check your fuseable links too.. it might just be a simple fix... good luck man

thats a cowel he got from jc whitney i belive... it was for an american car and he just grafted it onto his hood....

yes the square head bolt is the oil filler for the t5 tranny and the clutch uses dot3 break fluid and you use gear oil for your rear diff...

thanks Gav240z, ive had that car for over 13 years now and ive never stoped loving it.. but i dodnt really start fixing her up till about 3 years ago.. my Z is a n/a but thats changing by next year.. ill be swapping to a l28et hopefully by this time next year... wish i were as lucky as you guys in AUS... its a lot easier for you guys to get hold of a RB26DETT and a lot cheaper too...
