Have you done motor swaps? Have you done custom electrical work? Have you done any fabrication (metal / welding) work? Good reads (use our search feature): https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx...g30dett-32802/ https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx...finally-32803/ |
z32 engine doesn't just "drop in" to a z31
|
no ive never done any of that kind of work but i might take it to a shop or something. just not sure what all i need.
|
Well, the basic things:
-Complete engine -Transmission -ECU & EFI harness Things that will need to be done: -Fab motor mounts -Fab trans mount -Fab driveline -Wire in the EFI, integrate into Z31 harness if you want to keep the Z31 gauges / accessories working. -Etc Mind you the Z31 engine bay is pretty small as is, and the crazy radiator support would be a headache to get around IC plumbing. Did you click the links I posted? |
yeah i just clicked on both links.. i know nothing about cars and havent really gotten my hands dirty. for this project, shops are gonna charge alot. if i knew how to do stuff myself, then it wouldnt be a problem. also what's a mass flow air sensor? its $100 extra to order that motor and trans off that link i posted? just curious.. shops are gonna charge about $4000 or so wouldnt they? :s-chainsaw:

Let me google that for you Also, download the FSM for free from XenonZ31 Reference There's lots of info on this site, and all over the intrawebs. :D |
haha thanks.. also im way off topic here but, do you know the best place on where to buy front body lips for these cars? the car sits pretty low itself now and i dont wanna have to get a lowering kit on it. i wanna make it look like its lowered by looks.. the same for fender flares? :017:

No really, a quick Googlemachine search does wonders...
