Thanks to all who gave me the necessary info, much appreciated and now I'm a little more knowledgable on the crown & pinion stuff. I pulled my diff tonight saving myself $180 and tomorrow I pick up the 3.54 260z open diff with stub flanges, you know those little shaft things that go into the diff and attach to the half shafts. I'll end up selling my 3.94 crown & pinion which will in turn will almost pay for the diff. Again thanks Ricky

Simon unfortunately we're about 4000k's apart, I'm in the west. What did you have in mind anyway. Stewart wilkinson ms was keen to do some sought of swap. Tomorrow I'll talk to a diff specialist and find out associated costs. Has anyone had this work performed and if so what price was attached to it roughly?

So firstly I'd better open up the diff and see what size bolt, 10 or 12mm. I've read that at about 1984 the DR30 R200 LSD changed sizes and I have no idea what year it's from. Can anyone confirm that the 260z didn't have 3.5 something gear ratio. Currently at 100 kph I'm reving at 3200 rpm. What do you reckon the 3.7 would bring it down to, keeping in mind that I currently have 3.94?

Thanks Mr Camo, can this crown and pinion come from an open centre diff or does it also have to be from a R200 LSD. Ricky

Now i have been reading through countless threads on this topic and from what I gather this shouldn"t be too hard. All i want to know is exactly what part or parts do I need. I Have a DR30 skyline 3.9 LSD which was good with my L6 but not so good with the 308 V8. I really need to go to 3.5. I'm thinking I can use whatever the part is called out of the 260z auto. Is it just the one gear whatever part I need to change my ratio? I have researched but all the diff parts and so forth are a bit bewildering. Excuse my ignorance. Cheers Ricky

Sold my L28 and webers, now have this 308 in there. Will turn the key next week. Supra five speed, 308 and 2-1 exhaust. Why a 308? it was the easiest option and it really has been an easy swap. It fits beautifully without a lot of messin around and sits low and weight is further back also it'll be something different, C210 V8, I like it.

Thanks for your submissions, and confirming what i thought might be possible. It may take a bit of working to mount it but at least I can still use my current wiring connections. Again thanks. Attached is a pic of car since painted

I've begun the 308 transplant into my C210 Coupe. Is there any reason I have to run the 308 alternator. Physically the L series( 280z) is the same size and it's still running all the same equipment but being spun by a different motor. Is this the correct way of looking at it? Ricky. I can make it fit.

SOLD Pending payment to a chap in Busselton here in WA. Thanks for looking, if you did.

I actually applied to the Dept of Infrastructure here in W.A to put a 308 in it and I was given the green light and a list of things that had to be adhered to, but nothing to hard. If I go turbo it'll be RB30et not DET. The ET will have sufficient power for my neeeds.

The dipstick enters through the sump and not through the block. I believe the ooriginal dipstick entry point has just been pinched together to seal it. So just need sump and original pickup which I may have. I have thought about turbo but I have a hunch my head doesn't have the notches and finding turbo gear aint so easy unless someone has a complete turbo setup in exchange for a weber set up. It's comments like that that start me wavering and rethinking my options, DAMN YOU MR CAMO

Yeah fufu, it's a shame my friends priorities also changed. So here I am again. Had a quote done up today to post engine on pallet to melbourne. $215 with Perth Freightlines, not a bad price at all.

I got a quote to send this motor on a pallet to Melb today. From Mandurah to Melbourne $215 with Perth Freightlines. I have a emailed quote if anyone interested.

I'v just posted in the W.A section advertising my L28 and triple webers setup if interested.
