well a supra is heavier and not as sexy as a 240z. plus why not. be different

yeah there are not many 240z around here in oz at all. and any left go at a premium price. maybe not as many were sold. i will look for the article as mentioned and try to scan it in if you like. as for power rating i can only go off those that i talk to that are into high hp drag cars and the like. yes the 1uz has less cc so is overlooked a lot of the time but with the ability to handle 8oohp with factory internals means a lot more people are using this as a base engine for there drag cars. as for fitment there is some issue with pipework etc that will be a snug fit but as a bare engine it fits nice. should also prove a good weight displacement. out of interest does anyone know how much the VH45DE weighs. as a bare engine.

every article i have read that has done a comparrison of the 6 & 8 from the toyota nissan variety has come up with the 2jz winning the 6 and the 1uz winning the 8. as for old datsuns running on many ks... any engine thats looked after will do that. my suzuki hatch 800cc has over 450,000ks on the original engine and runs fine. and i see alot more old celicas on the road than i do 240z. with the 1uz being able to hold more power thru stock internals than the nissan counterpart and the more available aftermarket parts, combined with the very cheap price of 1-1.5k aus they are my choice. and i have measured everything up and they will fit just fine!!

i do not know too much about nissan engines but i very much doubt i could get a lighter weight more reliable engine than the 1uz. these things are bulletproof.

was wondering if someoine could help me out. i have looked at a 73 240z wich seems ok chassis wise has rust at bottom of doors and front gaurds. this is all fine. my concern is there is also a hole just under the rear window drivers side about dollar coin size. should i be worried. the car has at some stage been resprayed but by the look of it some time ago. any info regarding this would be great as the 240z does not often come up for sale here in oz.

well have deicided i want to try and fit a 1UZ-FE into a 240z. as of the zoom article im not that interested in the 7mgte as its an older heavier engine and after owning a 1jz cressida i would go 1jz over 7m anyday. so has anyone fitted a 1UZ-FE into a 240z. if not does anyone have the measurements of the engine bay so i can try and work out if it will fit. thanks all.

hi all, am new to this forum and looking for a nice 240z at the momment and was wondering if anyone has any details about toyota engine transplants in 240z. was thinking of using a 1jz or a 1uz as i like these engines and am familiar with the toyota range. have always been a celica nut(ta22) and have a nice little turbo one but am after a turbo six or bigger. can anyone help??
