Hope these pictures work, first attempt at posting pictures. The wheels are only temporary as the offset is about 50mm out. Only got a couple of things to sort out then its off to get tuned. Really looking forward to taking it for a drive.

 

Very nice.

Very original conversion too.

Good luck with it.

Cheers

 

i like it!

 

Nice!

 

You mean have a hoon!! I lived in Melbourne for a bit years ago, I loved all the old school cars there...

With that much room in the engine bay, I'm really disappointed that you didn't go for a 26B... j/k, it looks great.

But I've thought about doing a 20B in a 240Z, but it's slated after the Porsche 911 20B project that I'm doing right now. You'll probably need a cage in there...

 

i want it. looks nice man
what ecu.

 

really nice i bet alot of alot of guys that love the nismo power are mad of u the only thing u have to say is that u got love for both

 

looks amazing

 

Now thats a badass Z model...

 

Got a haltech s2000 with 1600 cc sencondarys hooked up ready to be tuned. At first I connected the cosmo ecu up just to check everything was working as it should and more importantly to see how it sounded.

Was thinking about a cage to strengthen the chassis up more but not sure what is legal for a road car here yet.

 

It looks great. Do you have any videos of it running yet? FYI your the second person I have seen do a rotary datsun 240z. But the other guy was a 13b.

nice, very clean and professional looking build.

 

very awesome!!
what turbo is that?

 

Very well done, have seen pics on a few other forums. Looks Great!!

 

Very nice!

 

Dont have any video of it yet but will get some once its tuned. I saw that black zed with the 13b a while back. At that stage he still needed to wire it up but was wanting to sell the engine to replace it with a ls1. Ive heard of a few rotary zeds being built but havent ever seen one finished, was looking forward to see how that car went.

The turbo started life as a garret ta51 im pretty sure but its had a lot of work. Its been changed to a ball bearing core and the guy at garret said the front cover had come from an aircraft. He said it would be simillar to a gt45.

 

Actually, I'm the owner of that black Z. I gave up on the rotary for reasons other than financial or mechanical. Right now it's sitting incomplete with an LS1 I pulled out of a 2002 Z28 camaro.

Terrific work on the 20b, and I am saddened that that got finished, and mine did not. At the same time, incredibly impressive. How did you mount the 20B? Do you have pics of the mount? I used GSL-SE front engine cover, oilpan, and relocated pickup to mound the RE motor.

 

it's funny, my love for Z-cars predates my life with rotaries and it really hasn't waned at all. i simply just haven't made time for one. my last chance was when i changed my mind on buying a 350Z at the last minute to buy the Rx-8.

anyway, i guess i just never thought of marrying the two. given a 240 or 280 (Z or ZX), i more than likely would have gone for the RB26, but i think you did a great job and made an awesome choice with the 20B (by the way, i see that this thread is almost a year old ). if i didn't know any better, i bloody well would have thought it belonged there. would love to see some video if you still have the car.

 

wotary=auxillary? From hybridz? You gave up on your project??? You and me were the only ones! This is my car 4 years ago, slapped the carb on it just to get it running, haven't touched it since...I wish I had a 20B.



20b240z, you lucky dawg! Need more pix!

 

absolutely love this idea.
i love rotaries and i love the original z.
ive had both and always wanted to do this.
but never have the funds, tools, or space to do so.
never shall i stop dreaming of this achievement though.
please do provide videos or more detailed pics eventually.

 

Absolute insanity!

I hope you still have this thing and it is still in one pice. That thing must must be a b*tch to drive.

Upload some videos!

 

i love the 240Z chassis, along with my favorite motor of all time and i love the swap and the work great job.

 

owen! that's me. yeah, long story. more personal stuff than financial (financial wasn't the issue). Well if you change your mind, I'm selling my 13b-re now

 

people will put anything in a z these days lol. Car looks great, nice job man

 

Ive always liked how rotaries in a Z sit all the way behind the shock towers. Has anyone autox/tracked one? How do they handle?
