I'm at a crossroads; I'm going to be rebuilding my stock L26 this coming summer and before I do I want to make sure it's the motor I want, ya know? I have thought heavily about dropping in a stroked ZX turbo straight 6 (stroked to 3.1 liters) with a high-performance, hi-boost turbo (such as a GReddy T-78, but I'll prob just go for a hybrid t3/t4 ball bearing turbine), a large FMIC, hi-flow fuel system, and all the other stuff needed. Of course, I would also get the 5-speed manual trans with the engine and beef it up accordingly (new clutch, flywheel, ect). OR, I can rebuild my L26, toss those boat anchor SU carbs for some rebuilt to "Better than new" condition 70-72 SU'…

What Skyline tranny is needed for a RWD RB26DETT swap into a 280z? I've searched as best as I could, and am unclear on which tranny I can use. The places I've found online have the RB26DETT & tranny from the same car, but don't say if its AWD, RWD, etc. I'm assuming I will need the RB25DETT RWD tranny to go with the engine. There is a shop up in Canada that sells this hybrid setup for $4900 USD, is this too steep or about right? Also, isn't the front diff built into the engine oil pan? Is there any aftermarket pan replacements if thats the case? Or can I use a pan off of the RB25DETT? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

New to the older s cars I know just about everything about the new ones. 1. I'm looking for the cheapest yet still reliable v8 kit for the 240z ( i heard there was something called the "scareb kit") 2. Also, got to get rid of that ugly bumper set up. Is there a kit I can get so that when I take those things off i can replace them with a bumper that looks less like a bumarange? Web sites... 3.Also looking for wheel flares and other aftermarket body kit stuff any info on that? 4.What suspension ugrades am I going to need for this to pull 12's? I'm also looking to do autocross stuff witht the z. Where do I get them? 5. I'd like make the thing look like this at least the body…

Hey everyone, Im new here but i been a big fan of Zed cars for a long time now. I live in Sydney Australia and as eveywhere those cars are very rare here as well. Im planning on getting a 240Z and 260Z to do a complete restore. The plan is to keep the 240Z in its calssic form as they are pretty much collectable items but 260Z will be modified with Turbo engine of some kind. So the question is which one is faily easy to transplant into 260 engine bay ... considering the engine bay is so big in these cars you can put pretty much anything in there ... but where are easy then others? Will the Turbo 2.8L engine form 280zx fit into 260z without major modifications? I been told …
