    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    Next up i wanted to get back onto the welding for the firewall after changing from LHD to RHD. I had a small section first that i wanted to do as a trial, as i got the welder settings dialled in, so went about making a template, cutting it out and welding it in. Neither of these bits will be on...

    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    So after almost 9 months of not touching the car, thanks to letting my job get me down too much, i've finally gathered the drive to start again. Wanted to start with some low hanging fruit so decided to replace the rear wheel bearings on the new rear hubs. The hubs are off of an S14, so they...

    Keep at it man, little bits when you can and it’ll soon be back up and running. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway!

    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    Thanks for the info and cracking idea on the banjo bolts, could well be the answer! Thanks man :) Funnily enough 5 stud would of been much easier but since I managed to find some, as you say, super rare Watanabe RS Eight’s (see page 4) I had to spend the time to find some 4 studs. I’ll give...

    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    Interesting! Great to see another member doing the same :) Yours looks a bit further over than mine and your UJ is one of the bulky misshapen ones. I was looking at getting one of these from Borgeson: Lower profile at the input end and I reckon I could change that nut for a grub screw or...

    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    The other big bit of recent news is the steering rack and front subframe setup. I’ve bought a nice condition Subaru WRX steering rack but didn’t want to spend lots of time cutting and adapting the standard subframe to fit so instead I bought a tubular version from Apex Engineered in the USA. The...

    I’ve also bought a few key pieces to go with the Techno Toy Tuning R200 rear end conversion kit I’ll be buying at the end of the year. First off an R200 short nose viscous LSD from an R34 Skyline. It’s in great condition, low mileage and comes with the ABS sensors which I plan to wire into my...

    Project RBZ - RB26 Swapped 240Z

    It’s been a long time since the last update and I’ve made some great steps despite not having much time to work on it. Firstly I’ve mocked everything up for the RHD swap. Someone decided to put a roll cage in which has made it much more work to get the pedal box and dash mounted but after a lot...

    I'll be going to these again in my Z when it's back on the road but it won't be for a good year at least! :thumbs:
