Good day to all,

I would like to introduce my self, I am from Baja California, I grew as a Nissan Fan, and me and one of my best friends actually build a Sentra SE-R 20 stock and upgrade the engine to a SER20DET.

That project lasted about 5 years, as you know the money is always a show stopper and also as it was our first project we crashed and burned a couple of times with wrong desicions.

This time i join you experts to learn about Datsun 240Z. I got the option of purchasing a '73 model.

So i have a ton of questions.
1. Leave the original engine and upgrade to turbo?
2. Swap engine to RB26DETT? Challenges?
3. How about the looks both internal as external, Keep it clasic/Make it un usual?

So if you guys have any suggestion I would like to read it to be able and make a educated desicion.

Thanks and i hope to read you soon.

Welcome to ZDriver!

Swap in a turbo engine if you want a turbo.

It's up to you. Challenges: Money, and your skill level. An RB26 swap would probably cost $4k - $8k... quite a bit of fab & wiring work.

It's your car... what do you want it to be?

 

Thanks for the reply! I think i made up my mind an stick with what i already know, i was brousing and the pruce range for the Rb26 is way high for my pocket.

So a straight sr20det will have to be enough. It almost half the price and it comes with everything for the swap.
