Thinking of pulling my 20B out of my TII and sticking it in a Z32 300ZX
My reasoning.
-I have always liked the 300ZX looks. -FDs cost too much -I built my TII as a race car when I was younger, now I want something I can enjoy on the road (no 10 point roll cage, no fixed back racing seats, no 5 point harnesses, would be nice to have heat, A/C and cruise control). -I don't like the 300ZX engines turbo or not. -I love my 20B. -The extra mass doesnt really matter to me -I already have another FC. -It would be a fun experience to build and a sweet car to drive when it is done. -I have most of the parts to do it already -Dimensionally it should fit with some massaging. -I think it would be the first and only in the world (feel free to let me know if I'm wrong) Let me know what you guys think about the project. |
That would be cool as fuck. Do it.

RX-8
One of the few cars that handles better than the FD in my opinion, quite affordable, easy to find cheap parts, possible to find real race parts for and practical/comfortable. I have a built 420hp/420tq FC Sequential FD with Ohlins 18x11/ 295s 4spd auto RX-8 with Ohlins 18x11/ 295s I'm parting out the FC because the chassis is pathetic and beefing the RX-8 because its *amazing* I have considered putting a reworked Cosmo auto (same as Pathfinder, Z31 turbo auto) in my auto RX-8 to handle the grunty FC motor because the auto is so easy to drive around and I have learned to race with it. I hated RX-8 looks when I got it but they are growing on me because I love driving it. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cc6403ce14.jpg |
Believe me I considered this. It would be better for having more than one passenger than the 2+2 300zx. The suspension is likely better too. But the looks have not grown on me (even though it is not a bad looking car). Also it doesn't have the same wow factor and uniqueness ( not that it isn't unique or have a big wow factor).
Thanks for the responses even though this is still just half a concept! Maybe a little more than half since I got the wife's blessing. |
Z32's are cool !!!! I would do it , thats a great combo , as a matter of fact there was a 350z with a 20b swap in australia a few years ago , not the same car but you get the idea !!!

I saw the video of them doing donuts. Seems pretty nasty.
Hopefully this guy emails me back. Seems like the perfect candidate. 1993 300zx |
I say do it. considering how much space the VG30 takes up. You are likely to have quite a bit of room. Couldn't hurt to keep the 5 speed from the 300z as those are fairly beefy from what i remember. That would be something different and exciting.

i say go for it. i still think the Z32s are drop-dead gorgeous cars and a marvel of their time. i'm actually a huge fan of the VG30, too, but i think a 20B would make for a suitable replacement, even if only for the WOW-factor.
