  • Engine swapped '73 240z

    Here's my other build: 1982 Volvo 242 Turbo:


    Recently picked up a datsun 240z, lets get right into it!

    Day I got it-



    That motor ran like crap- blew smoke ( I think it was burning oil) and the carbs were at about 0/10 so idecided to pull that motor and swap in my dad's L24/5 speed since he's putting an sr20 in his.

    So I didn't lie! It does have an engine swap- just the same stock motor from a 1 year older car.. next sumer something inline and turbo (rb20, sr20, 1jz) will be going in, I just figured if I had a mint running L24 I might as well get that for free!

    Went down to santa clara at the shop its getting worked on- pulled that motor:


    Brought that to my house, unloaded and pulled my motor:


    had to reorganize/shuffle some parts around:


    aaand new engine/trans back in the car, its that easy! (give or take a few steps, results may vary)


    I got it running yesterday, and drove it to work today with only one problem- it won't shut off when I pull the key out.. but I'd rather try to get a running engine to die than vice versa.

    Immediate plans include:
    Megan weld on coils from mickinney motorsports
    IMSA 3 piece ducktail
    MSA urathane air dam

    eventually Work euip 01/03s and flares will follow once I have enough money but the konig rewinds or what ever are on there look pretty good imo.

    Thats it for now.. work on it should really pick up once I get some parts in.

              New Rimz

              Came home to these yesterday!!


              They're rota shakotan in 15x8 et0 all around.

              I opened up a box to take a look inside:





















              Those aren't rotas..? Oh yeah, these must be the Equip 03's I bought off Zilvia.
              15x8.5 et-6 ~3" lip
              15x9 et-3 ~4" lip

              I'll test fit them once I get the car back from getting the exhaust done.

              And there are a few boxes heading up the California coast from theZstore so next update the car should look pretty different!

                  Argh, the rota boxes were killing me. Cannot wait to see those equips mounted

                  Why sr/rb/jz and not an l28et?
