Who has done a 240 REAR disc conversion? I'm particularly interested in the caliper/disc selection. I'm convinced about the fronts: 88-92 Forerunner V6 4WD calipers 84 non-turbo drilled discs possible spacer issues et al ready for the work! :stupid:

Hi All, I've done some research into the Toyota Caliper swap and I've decided to go ahead with it. I've sourced some calipers from the wreckers and done some measuring. I have standard Australian issue 260Z mags, I don't believe the US ever had these. But I would like to keep them and while they are 14" they curve away from the mounting surface enough that they should fit around the caliper. However.... I've done some measuring, which was hard without removing the original Z caliper from the car, and a bit inaccurate due to not being able to get the measuring stick where I wanted it. I've got 11mm clearance on the mag from the original caliper, and the Toyota caliper s…

Ok, I just picked up a L28 Turbo motor. I want to put it into my 76 280z. What is all involved in putting it in what do I have to change or add to make it work with the turbo. I also plan on Rebulding the motor and putting performance parts in it. Any suggestions on what set up is best with this motor. What is a good boost contoroler and how much should I be able to run.:classic:

What seemed like a good idea at first gets complicateder and complicateder. I had a raodster 5 speed modified to fit my early '70Z. The rally gears in the five speed are pretty sweet and the shifter doesn't hit the dash. Now comes the problem. The original driveshaft from the 240 was used with the new tranny. A rear flange was put on the front ujoint, replacing the originat slip joint. Perfect fit, except now the lack of slip has knocked some bearings out of the tranny and I suspect the diff may not have been helped much. The drive shaft guy wants about $500 to put a slip joint in the drive shaft. Does anyone know what the driveshaft on the roadster looks like. W…

I know the early 260z had front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. I have a 240z parts car and a 260z I'm trying to get running. Would it be possible to swap the front discs to replace my rear drum brakes on the 260z? Or would that be a bad idea? Would that even work?

Has anyone done the rear disc conversion on their Z using the factory sized rims? I have american racing rims 14x7. I have heard that sometimes they rub on the rim.

I have just stumbled to the conclusion that early patrols may be running L series motors(definitely MQ, maybe G60) . Has anyone bothered to have a look at these 4wds as a parts donor. For all I know they could also have R200 diffs also. I'm just wondering whether patrols might be a good source of L6 parts. I've heard a few people have swapped V8s into their MQs so there might be some cheap motors out there that go unrecognized by the Z crowd. Also, did the MQ ever come out with a turbo charged diesel L motor. I seem to remember seeing one advertised as turbo diesel but I don't know whether it was an L motor or not. If so, would the turbo and manifold be any use to a petro…
