This thread is for anyone who knows or has come across something for the Z32 that wouldn't normally cross your mind. For example there's the e-fans from the Maxima. Stuff like that. Who knows, you may see something here that could save you some $$$. So if you know anything of this nature, lets hear it!

I'll start:

The A/T from the 90-98 240SX (K series) will work in the NA Z's. Swap the bell housings and speed sensor out and you're good to go. The torque convertors, gasket kit and trans harness are the same.

Here are other items forum members have found.

lazer: Z33 Brembo front calipers (with massaging of a bolt hole)

JosefTTZ(Houston): Infiniti J30 engines fit in the 300zx for those of you who didnt know already...

funkysi: Metal door handles from the Euro spec Nissan Terrano2 and Ford Maverick SUVs. There MUST be cars in the Infinity range in the US that would have these?

Z_wrecker: If you are looking to match your front 350z brembo calipers, 05, 06,07 STi's have the matching rears with no modification. 08+ will still fit, but they are not painted gold, and they have STi printed on them.

tommyyj: 140amp alternator from an Infinity I30 works.

breakout_z32: The Z32 and the S13 240SX share adjustable suspension parts

Oh, and you can run R32 GT-R Rear knuckles without screwing with the suspension geometry, so that you can run a wider range of coilovers.

TTnickdizzle: 60mm 240sx (KA) or 2.4L stanza TBs with minor modification!

http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.as ... _id=931443

Kennymonster: Clutch master cylinder fluid cap, I took mine from a 240sx at a junkyard to fit mine. I believe z31's, maximas and other Nissans share the same cap. Really saved my a** as my car was stuck at a shop without the cap.

SuperHatch: 90-93 Infiniti Q45 Injectors = 370cc Rectangular Plug Phase 1 TT Injectors.
94-96 Infiniti Q45 Injectors = 370cc Oval Plug Phase 2 TT Injectors
97-01 Infiniti Q45 Injectors = 270cc Oval Plug Phase 2 NA Injectors
90-96 Infiniti Q45 Rear Hubs = Z32 TT Rear Hubs
90-96 Infiniti Q45 Front Hubs = Z32 Front Hubs
90-96 Infiniti Q45 Fuel Pump = Z32 TT Fuel Pump (90% Sure)
97-01 Infiniti Q45 Rear Diff = Direct Swap into Z32 NA for 3.69:1 TT Ratio

daxnizmo: To clarify the years on the Mustang rotors: 94-02 Mustang Cobra rotors. Same bolt pattern, just about 13inches in diameter.

mong00ze: evo rotors/all rear 240sx/j30 suspension arms, 240 tension rods, 240 subframe collars, theres more i forgot

djk-west: Just installed a Maxima radiator on my Z. It bolts on w/o issues. This is great for those who are wanting to put dual e-fans from a Maxima like me.

omegaboost: 3000gt 12.5" rotors fits even under 16" wheels. not sure about stock wheels though.
--NISMO_BOI: If I remember correctly you still need a brace and it won't fit 16" wheels.
--RBPoweredZ32: That is correct, you still need to buy a bracket and at least 17" wheels... plus the VR4 rotors are not cheap so you are better off waiting until Z1 has a special on the 13" brake kit with everything and buying it for like 500!

NissanFairladyZ32: Will the cobra rotors fit on the stock caliper?
and on the stock 16inch wheels?
--silver Z: They fit on the stock calipers with a little grinding.
The 16" wheels will "NOT" clear the brakes.

southcarolinaZ: GM style injector connectors for the later model 90-92 N/A and 90-94 TT. These replace the wire holding clip on the OEM nissan inj. connectors with a tension loaded wire that you can release with a pinch of the fingers.
(i wish i had a year of the GM models that come with these, but i can say that the '03-'05 Hummer has these randomized around the engine compartment)


SuperHatch: The NA and TT knuckles are the same, where the NA knuckle has the bushing for the toe arm, the TT knuckle has a ball joint pressed it.

1FASTKINGCAB: early 1980's Ford F-150 Motor mounts (inline 6 cylinder). (solid rubber) about $20 ea at just about any autoparts store.

ava_z32: someone said the 270cc 240 injectors will work on an n/a Z between 90 and 94 i think. i actually attempted this a little while back with no success. someone may have better luck than i did but it didn't work for me. i believe the impedances are different.
--SuperHatch: No, they work in the 94-96 Z's. All 240 injectors are phase 2 style. Same with the 98-01 Infiniti Q45 injectors, which are 270cc phase 2. I don't know of any other US sold nissan with 270cc phase 1 injectors besides the 90-93 NA Z

djk-west: Not sure if its been mentioned but the steering boots on a 95 Maxima is the same as the Z32 steering boots. Which is great because I have a brand new pair of Maxima boots that I never got to install on her til I sold her. Now its going on my Z.

SlyStalone: Cobra (and any larger than OEM) rotors require a caliper relocation bracket. VR-4 rotors also require a 5mm spacer.
1992-1997 Subaru SVX door handle assemblies will fit all year Z32s with no modifications.
4th and 5th (maybe even 6th) gen Maxima horns are a direct plug in upgrade over Z32 horns.

eagrinsonis: Infiniti G20 injectors also work i have them in my z. (phase 2) I would guess the sentra ser(1991-1999) and 200sx ser(1995-1998) should work also since its the same sr20de as the g20 but i am not certain.

thomasfortney: A fan blade from a 2000 frontier fits. I just put one on my car and it works awesome. looks exactly the same as the oem one, though the part numbers are different.

Future_gohan: An s14 differential is bolt in, but to use it you must use two passenger side axles(they're longer then the driver side), if not your driver side will snap.

PotentialZ: The Z32 headlight assembly gears can break/strip. If you buy this Tamiya RC car kit, the gears are the same! - http://www.muchhobby.com/shopping/produ ... ts_id=1374
You only use the two largest gears.

snyper: GTR R32 rear rotors are the same as our TT's.

RKLamb: Fuel pump from Q45 is the same as a TT Z. I bought two of them 50 a piece.
--hoov100: Q45 fuel pumps are NOT the same as TT's. The fuel pickup is on the wrong side and will hit the bottom of the tank unless you get creative with the mount.
The q45 fuel pump controllers are the same as the TT controllers though and are a revised design on the newer ones.

All j30, fuel dampers, FPR's, PTU's, injectors, fuel pump, pump controller TPS..etc are the same as N/A z32's fallowing the appropriate year. (if it hasn't been covered yet)

daxnizmo: The Z32 TT rack and pinion will fit a Z32 NA with no issues on installation.

leno: Coilovers out of an R32 GT-R will fit, however the front mounts may require a slight bit of trimming on certain brands. Front mounts on GT-R's are oval, whereas ours are circular. R32 GT-R's ONLY

hoov100: The q45 pump flows a bit more, but the pickup is clocked 180* off from the TT pump and you will have to swap the plastic inlet port from a z32 FP onto the q45 pump, then you will have to mod the hose and filter setup to be able to fit into the tank, then you will have to fab up come brackets to hold the pump in it's new position.

fkhuk: I have motor mounts for a 92 F150 on my Z. Like everyone else has said you just need to ground out the holes on the subframe a bit. Just wanted to verify the year.

1BADG35: I did some searching, and still had a question about the dual E-fans for NA radiators.
is the maxima setup that most people use from the 88-90 maxima or the 95-99 maxima? It looks as if the 95-99 maxima e fans would possibly bolt right up to our radiator, but i have heard conflicting information, that the only one that is directly compatible size wise is the one from the 88-90 nissan maxima.
I just want to make sure i can get enough cooling for my na, but also remove most of the unnecessary stuff in the engine bay.
--Dustin@Z1: Its from a '88-'94. The '95+ will not fit if I recall correctly due to something with the mounting tabs being in the wrong locations.
**OEM Nissan Part # 21481-96E10**
The electric fan upgrade is an awesome product for the NA Z32 however be sure to wire up a thermostatic fan switch while you are doing the install with a relay. These can be found at any Autozone or Advance autoparts.
We also sell the proper, corresponding female wiring connector to properly wire in your E-fans here at Z1. http://www.z1motorsports.com/upi/produc ... ts_id=5179

You can ONLY use the N62 MAF, some J30s IIRC its 94+ or 95+ used a N60 or E60 MAF which WILL NOT work on Z32s

These fit!! I am running them on my car right now with OEM front wheels and 20mm spacers. They clear the wheels with about 0.5" of clearance, and the rotors were only $240.

As far as shift knobs go, the 300zx uses a 10mm x 1.25 thread pattern. Any shift knob matching that thread pattern, it will be compatible. I know there's BLOX titanium knobs we can use, some OEM knobs we can also use.

The evolution viii, protege, some honda's like the fit, hurst shift knobs, 240sx, 370z, all miata's, (the REAL AMS performance shift knobs fit, not that cheap s*** fake AMS crap,) RX8, g37/g35, is300, subaru legacy 5eat, , RX7...these have the same thread pattern, for example.

Works Bell Yoshioka Toshiking has the m10 x 1.25 pattern, and looks GOOOD! Most Nardi shift knobs use that pattern as well.

If you have an OEM knob you like, figure out the thread pattern and it should fit!

Here's one people haven't mentioned:

Wheels are 5x114.3, so as long as they're 16" or larger, they should work :D Some higher offset wheels will hit the factory TT brakes, (speaking from experience about ROH Snypers meant for a mustang.) I currently use a 5/16ths spacer for these wheels. They're 17x8 with a 42 or 45mm offset.


I also have reason to believe stock r32 and r33 steering wheels fit the 300zx....This includes the momo airbag wheels as well. I believe they have the same spline if anything. don't take my word for it, do research and post here. I could find no other correspondence on this. However, the r32 and z32 share the same aftermarket boss kits.

As in direct factory swaps? None are direct swap. You'll have to modify the rails/mounts a bit. Dimensionwise though, just about anything from the late 80's/early 90's sports cars/GT's/coupes will "fit."
