killabeez Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Hey all, I finally picked myself up a 240z after wanting one for years. All the rust was cut out and an SR20DET put in it by the previous owner plus some other upgrades, I've owned a fair few S13/S14s in the past so know the engine well. It just needs some tidying up and a lick of paint + engineering to get it on the road, can't wait CBR Jeff and gav240z 2 Quote

GongZ Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Welcome to the 'club' killabeez. Is this the car you bought? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/page-274?do=findComment&comment=195806 Quote
killabeez Posted October 13, 2017 Author Posted October 13, 2017 Heheheh, yes I thought someone might pick up which car it was from it's recent ad. No idea why they wen't with an SR, I would have kept it factory myself as I don't want to go through engineering etc but since it has already been done I'll keep it like it is. I wouldn't want all that hard work going to waste. Although I've had a fair bit of experience with SRs so am glad it has one instead of something more obscure like a V8. It's also great to have a small engine in that engine bay, gives me more room to work on without scratching up my arms every time I tinker. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Welcome to the family Another car in Canberra is nice to see. Jeff Quote
dat240z Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Welcome mate, good stuff. Is the SR running the 6 speed box? Its not a bad little combo. Quote
GongZ Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 It's a reasonably popular swap in the US - Wiring Specialties even sell a "S13 SR20DET WIRING HARNESS FOR DATSUN 240Z - PRO SERIES" Quote
