Kewwwwwyyyy

Cool car...take off the stickers and get some big fucking wheels.

Do you cruise Capital/go to Sheetz? A kid I know said he saw a car just like yours a weekend or two ago.

Very nice; this swap (and an extensive build) is on my list of projects to complete if/when I get rich.

My next investment, if I were you, would be a front facing intake manifold.

Sweet build thread. I love old datsuns.

wow extremely clean 280, and nice build going with the rb instead of just restoring the L. glad you have a cool dad whos into doing that kind of work and has an interest in cars still! my dad is all about his 08 f350 turbo diesel and hates my s14 with a passion

Hmm on Hybridz noone mentioned having the shifter placed so far forward. I myself am thinking of doing an RB20 swap into my 240z, but am waiting to find a great deal for a Rb20. I believe Rick Wong on Hybridz sells CNC machined solid motor adapters for the RB swap. I was going to go that route..maybe that would solve the shifter issue? If not I'll go with the l28et and throw a holset turbo on it.

Also the 280z had a carbbed engine from the factory right? What did you do about the fuel tank?

((sr)) kelly · 02-20-2008, 09:33 AM

got the stickers off today haha

Actually putting a RB25 in is not that hard at all. The only difference in cost is you can buy a RB20 cheaper. Though the engine(RB20) has less power and is more likely to be older and have more mileage.
My neighbor built a RB25 powered 240z. Downpipe does not hit anything. He did not have to trim his dash for or tunnel for clearance.
His car has the Greddy intake and a nice FMIC. I will try and get him to take pics of it.

Besides wiring the only thing he had to do on the 25 was put in a RB20 rear sump oil pan. His mounts were very straight forward basically a aftermarket urethane mount setup on stock engine brackets bolted to the stock crossmember. Clears everything.

Though I will give you and your dad props for a clean install and getting rid of that old piece of shit L28.

Tenchuu · 02-20-2008, 04:52 PM

also if you are auto crossing it the Rb20 is better because it puts you in the under 2.5L category.

and that is about the only reason besides money that i could see the RB20 being better than the RB25

silviaguy240 · 02-20-2008, 05:03 PM

whys everyone hatin on the L28? yea its old, but it can put down some nice numbers in turbo and/or when you got a 3.1 stroker on it.

((sr)) kelly · 02-20-2008, 05:37 PM

its old technology...

sohc, distributor, prone to electrical problems... and it has the intake mani and exhaust mani on the same side of the head.... poorly designed all around
