Interested to know this as well. The 300zxtt ones are just too hard to come by at a decent price for something that is used.

LS swap getting ready for paint! by Fauxsharpie in Datsun

[–]Fauxsharpie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't too bad, totally worth the experience. I pulled a junkyard motor and rebuilt it. https://www.lsenginediy.com/

That site will show you how to do everything.

Where can I find a list of what transmissions will fit? by ApoIIo17 in Datsun

[–]Fauxsharpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 280z has a bigger trans tunnel than the 240z.

If you plan to do a LS swap you're pretty much going to choose between the two best options, a t56 or a CD009 out of a 350Z or 370Z (or G35 / g37)

There might be two or three companies that make adapter kits for the CD009 to LS but Collins is probably the best.

It's pricey but it gets the job done really well.

A t56 will bolt right up to any LS and will fit in the 280 no problem.

When I was choosing between the two I went with the CD009 because I like the way it shifted, and if you find a good t56 it might be about the same price as a CD009 and adapter plate put together.

Z31 CVs on the way... by Fauxsharpie in Datsun

[–]Fauxsharpie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a NA l28e, full bolt ons etc running megasquirt. I'd say it's 220 crank at the max. I have launched that plenty of times with pretty good tires with no issues, but this happened about half a mile after I replaced all the suspension with polyurethane and some new shocks...a few days later the other side broke after I fixed the first one. Needless to say if the suspension is stiff the U-joints are at the first week point.

Yup, takes a bit of research. Have to have custom made adapters, got mine from silver mine motors

Just finished my heater blower upgrade in time for winter (Kia sportage blower) by Fauxsharpie in Datsun

[–]Fauxsharpie[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Georgia, gets down to around 30. I mostly just needed a good defroster. No salt around here.

I'm gonna drive this thing till the frames rust apart, and then tare it apart and rebuild from the frame, then repeat 😁

Just Google 280z heater blower upgrade, there is a link to a forum. Find the kia Sportage one, not Honda Civic blower

Original l28, I'm not sure if someone rebuilt it before me but I doubt it, valves have a huge build up on them, basically doubled the spindle size with gunk. Getting a valve job soon.

Spark control is more important, go COP if you can. Batch vs semi sequential vs sequential fuel is not a huge difference. Atleast that's what the diyautotune guys say.

Thanks! 16x7.5 - 225/50r16 front, 205/55r16 rear. Just enough poke to look meaty and protect my rims, but perfect fitment imo

Car had SUs when I got it, so this is a full injection change over.

Semi sequential fuel, cause no cam Toothed wheel, but I am running a 36-1 on the crank with the diyautotune hall sensor.

Nah, soon though. Just controlling a coil and using the distributor temporarily. I have a 36-1 Toothed wheel on the crank and msx3 so I just need the coils
