There is tons of information on this....search

It is so much more gratifying to learn everything on your own, and complete the project without everyone spoon feeding you how to do it. I think the only time I posted for help during my install was to see if anyone had an uncut harness or an ecu/plug. No one did so i figured out what plugs cross referenced with the rb ecu and made my own harness.

Let me save you some time. Unless you already have the car and about $15k in cash handy, don't even bother searching.

Like the rest have said, have the funds ready and start searching. Basically the swap is the same as tossing it into an S chassis with custom mounts etc (z32 will have different mounts and driveshaft obviously). Read a swap guide or write-up on an S chassis+RB and essentially most of that will apply to the z32 swap.

On a side note, stop spamming the same question on multiple threads on multiple forums. It is plain annoying and makes me wish there was a fist punch option that shoots out the monitor to knock people like that out cold. The RB Z32 swap is nothing new and has been done many times. If you really are serious about it, less questions, more research, and start doing. We don't feed answers to simple questions so easily, especially to the annoying ones. Even a simple search on the forums, google, youtube, hell anywhere with a search bar would have gotten you some results if you just take some initiative to find the answers.

Get on hybridz

and its funny when people ask how hard stuff is...If you have to ask if its hard or how to do it ,then you shouldn't be doing it.

bring me a rolling chassis and 8,000 and we can make something work

just got through putting a 26 with a BW s366 in my friends 90 z.
