Car: Just bought a 1989 d21 2wd auto

Post

Hello everyone. I have just joined this site and hope to have a good read and learn some things about my d21 z24 and make some friends along the way.

I just got a 1989 nissan navara 2wd with the z24 engine and has the 3 speed auto with the overdrive button. well i thought i would lower the car so i bought some lower blocks ( 3 inch ) which were easy to fit, just wondering how to lower the front??? anyone tell me how and also have pictures ETC on what to adjust ETC?.

Also would like to no if the rb30 engine is a direct bolt in or if anyone could tell me what engine is???.

Thanks

I can say with almost certainty that an rb30 won't be a direct bolt in. There have been RB's swapped into the D21 chassis, but the radiator core support has to be modified and fabricated.

I swear there is an RB swapped thread on here somewhere, if you want to look through the pages.

HI Mate, thankyou for ur reply. I did do a search and did find a guy that put an rb20det in his d21 but i think i might go down another path.

My engine is the z24 and is the carby engine, is there and easy way to turbo this engine?.

what about a small supercharger. that would be alittle less of a pain in the A$$. If you are running a carb that is the way I would go.

Yeah, I don't think I would turbo a Z24 "clean engine" they where designed to reduce emissions.

I think If mine ever blows a Buick 3.8 will be the replacement with a T200R 4 speed auto.
