   I currently have an electric fan on my L24 '73 with an aluminum crossflow radiator. I have a new 280Z fan and fan clutch that I bought for my 280Z but never used. Will it bolt up?

   More efficient AC condenser

   Has anyone upgraded their 280z OE condenser to something more efficient? When I do my engine swap along with my engine bay repaint I am going to really work on my AC system. I have a leak somewhere, so everything in the engine bay will get refurbished or replaced. I thought there might be a condenser that is the same size as the OE one, but perhaps is off something newer and more efficient.

   82 ZX L28ET & 5 Speed Tranny going into a 77 280Z

   Hi gang, Well I just purchased my third (and hopefully) final Z. This is the one I'd like to keep until the end. I've got major plans for her like putting a ZX Turbo motor and accompanying 5 speed tranny in from a 1982 donor car. I've restored many cars over the years and me, tools, and engine swaps are very old, close, intimate friends but I've never done a Z before. If any of you have any insightful tips or advice for me like: how to navigate through all the electrical harness issues, smog equipment, exhaust options, clearance issues etc. etc. etc. I would greatly appreciate it. I'm actually thinking about eliminating the turbo set-up from the engine because I had an 83…

   Thinking of Swapping a 300ZX 5sp into S30 280Z. Will it fit?

   Hi all. I have a 280z with a FS5W71A but the 5th gear is just about stuffed. Its whinning a bit to much for my liking and if I am going to change it I would like to upgrade to the FS5W71C I live in the Netherlands and found someone here with a FS5W71C from a 300ZX 1985. Most people talk about swapping the 240SX tranny and modifying the bellhousing on the "A" to clear the cluster gear, the larger bearing and one fork selector rod bore also needs reeming. No one talks about doing this with a 300ZX tranny. Is there a reason for this, maybe ratios or some other alteration in the 300ZX preventing the swap? Any advise would be greatfull before I take the plung.

   I am thinking about swapping my 3 speed auto to a maxima 4 speed I know guys that have done this,but I need all the info thats required.The tranny I have is a 3n71b,the 83-84 maxima/84-89 z31 uses a 4n71b. I think the guy that did this from group z used a 82 maxima---is this a 4n71b? I think all he had to change was a shortened drive shaft. I heard a drive shaft out of a z31 will work. I am compiling information and checking into parts need some advice

    Need ZX Distributor Base

    I bought a ZX distributor to convert my '70 to electronic ignition. It did not come with the base to attach it to the block. I put a want ad in the classifieds, but nobody responded, so I thought I would try asking here. If you have a base for a ZX distributor that you are willing to part with, please PM me with your asking price. Thanks, Marty

    Short brake hose for slave cylinder

    Would a hose that runs from calipers to hardline on brakes work from the slave cylinder to that hardline? Mine is rotten and I can get a single brake line from rockauto super cheap. They look the same to me. Thanks.
