Hey all. I'm a nasty horrible person that wants to buy a 300zx and chop it up :(

 

basically, I'm attempting to rwd my civic, I looked at honda engines but most rotate the wrong way and the s2k has nearly a 10" shorter wheelbase than the EK hatch so that would mean an expensive custom propshaft and fabbing 10" of trans tunnel plus i want a turbo so thats more expense right there - so i started looking around at other cars with a similar wheelbase and the 300zx is less than 2" difference, nearlt the same track width, has plenty of power, turbos as standard and still has japanese reliability

 

it's a bit of a crazy project, but I dont fancy spending thousands of pounds doing a k series swap just to park up next to 30 other guys at a show who've done exactly the same

:D

 

that was awesome, but sold for $5500 CAD ???

 

This z powered EK will be a killer. could you imagine pulling up next to an EX civic in your TT Zed, with a few tweaks, and then getting hammered of the lights? More than Impressive.

pete, I'll be welding in the full transmission tunnel from the zed anyway, so all the mounting points should be there, but thanks for the tip anyway!

 

Wow!!! A major project then.

Are you using all the rearsubframe and suspension too??

I'm debating that at the moment I'd like to keep it honda but it'll require some very complicated work so realistically it's a lot less hassle to use the rear subframe from the z... The front end will be all honda though, but I've got some integra DC2 front hubs waiting to go on with honda legend twin pot calipers for a bit more stopping power (and handily 5x114.3 so less mucking about with mis-matched wheels if I use the Z rear subframe)
