 ot the best pics Al , the axle is a 4.3-1 ratio ZF lsd. The width is almost identical. Old mounts removed from original and pic shows them re tacked in position. They are now fully welded and we are putting the axle back together. Big issue is fitting the new bushes , they won't go in??? The half shafts are nearly twice the dia of the old and we've been told should take up to 300 bhp. Front legs are 280zx , still being fabbed. Engine and box in , wiring basically done, the cars fires but won't run. New seats in , tunnel cut and new section fitted. Hydraulic clutch master cylinder fitted. Awaiting half shafts to be drilled to nissan pcd. Slow but sure. Attachments:

   3 pics from today. Dom and I are getting there. 280zx front legs cut and shut with mk2 golf inserts. Cut the legs down 32mm to take the insert. Rear axle ,Alfa LSD as mentioned, has B310 bracketrey fitted and it fits a treat. All square. We are looking for 7.5to 8j 14" rims if anyone has anything suitable?? |

I'm now reconsidering an engine/gearbox swap in my B310 due to the Gearbox now requiring a rebuild and no one local seems to be helpful with it or wanting to charge a fortune with no guarantee of actually being able to fix it  . I'm not worried about big power or boost so what's the easiest/cheapest conversion I can take on without tons of mods? I'm thinking CA18DE or possibly SR20DE as I want NA response and tbh I'd be happy to run a near standard engine. Will the rear diff cope or will I still need to change it? What cars are a good donor for the non turbo engines/boxes? I may even convert to use with twin 40s or something?!?! I've already got 280zx brakes, suspension and full coilover conversion so the extras are there. Cheers |
