Sooley Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Its amazing how well everything lines up with the RB, even the gear stick poke's straight through the factory hole Like the 240Z Gods new there was an RB coming even all those years ago.

zr240 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I used vl engine mounts (with some cutting and moding) and just cut the gearbox mount and welded a section in (I will post some pics) Also for sump I brought a nissan patrol rb30 sump and pickup as its rear sump and just have to do a little mod as its a bit low! The cage will be in by next week so I will post some shots Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
