Don't forget the vg30det, and the supra engine, because although it is hard to do it can be done.

Thanks guys! 240SX owners are the luckiest people around, we can pretty much just get an engine and put it in well maybe. This is a good thing until someone thinks its kool to drop a H22 in one lol

Thanks,

The VG30DET is such a heavy and complicated pig you're better off with the american iron in there...this from a importer even lol. I like the 300ZX but as soon as I popped the hood on one it was "I'm not working on this!"

What sort of gremlins?? Nothing major I hope... Could you give me a brief description of what is involved in this swap??? You can email me if you like at jsterrett1103@student.roguecc.edu . Any info you could give me would be very useful.

Thanx,
Zeus

SWAP QUICKIE:
DROP THE KA OUT THE BOTTOM CROSSMEMBER AND ALL
SLIDE RB UNDER CAR CROSSMEMBER AND ALL
LIFT AND BOLT TO CHASSIS
CUT HOOD FOR CLEARANCE
ROTATE RACK FORWARD AND NOTCH DP
SPLICE 7 WIRES FOR RUNNING RB OR 10 FOR FULL WORKING DASH AFTER RB TACH SWAP.

MY GREMLINS HAVE TO DO WITH HIGH IDLE AND POWER LOSS AT 5000-5500 RPM. THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM SO WE ARE GOING TO BE ATTACKING IT AT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES UNTIL WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
