Peter do you have any pics and stuff of putting the 2jz in a 280zx then because I have looked and looked and can not find anything on it, everything I find is for s30 swaps. I can do motor work but I don't have much fabing skills, that's why I am looking for someone with pics and a write up of what they did because I have a few friends that are great at fab work so I could get them to help. And if you are talking the z32 suspension swap same thing I don't find much on it if anything at all, and don't tell me HybridZ cuz they really don't give help, just complane about what ever you are doing

Anyone happen to know what the width of the front frame rails are in a 81 280zx 2+2?

well the only thing I am getting from that build is that he is slamming it to the group, I am not doing this to mine. I think I am just going to get the aftermarket suspension stuff for my 280zx. I just want to change some of it because it seems the 280zx crap is hard to find

Well just got an email from betamotorsports and the guy says the could make one for my 280zx, just if they have a car and motor to make it and it will cost close to $1200 USD so i think ill pass for now

yea that would be my luck anyway lol...hey just a quick question, you guys know anything about putting a z32 full suspension in my 280zx like what would need be moded has it been done?

So that crossmember would be installed the same way into my 280zx then correct?

Well if i have to make the mounts my self I was wondering, can't I just find someone that has done this conversion to say a 240, 260, or 280Z and copy what they did? my 81 280zx has the same motor and tranni mounts correct?

Thanks Kato I will give them a try...And Peter how much harder is it to mount a 6 speed I haven't seen the tranni for the supra motor but I am pretty sure its a 6 speed, and I shale check out Arizona Z haven't been on there in a while. Thanks guys less then a day this has been posted and I have gotten the most help here....oh yeah and Six-shooter your right even though HybridZ says their moto is basically do what ever you want and/or can do to a Z and do, they really don't seem to help you too much especially if you are new to the forum like me. I have been on here a few time and have had a ton of help

did try they were the ones giving me the most crap about it

Ok I was thinking of dropping a 2jzgte into my 1981 280zx because I need a motor for it and my brother has a friend who is nuts over supra's and said he had a 2jz motor and supra transmission he could sell me. Any way I was wondering if any of you fellas have a good source that maybe has some pics and step-by-step on how to do this kind of swap any ideas would be great, and yes I am sticking with the 2jz motor. I have already had people on other forums telling me i am an idiot for wanting that motor so please don't bother saying it again if thats how you feel. I am looking for help not looking for people cry over my project. Thank BrownBomberZ

Hey Ben can you still get the front bumper with the vents in your previous post for the 280zx anymore. If so could you let me know a price to have it sent to the US by chance
