Z32 With Rb Swap In Progress And A Nistune Question

Hello guy I am back. I been collecting parts and getting stuff fabicated so I been gone for a while now. I been wondering about a few things that I could not get definite answer on. If I am using a rear sump pan can I use the stock mounts from a z31 or z32 to mount engine. Some say yes if I have a rear sump and other say no and I will need mounts from a 200zr.

Also on the ecu. I have a harness and ecu out of a C34 stagea 97 and I wanted to use nistune. I was reading that I probably cannot use nistune because I connectors are for a r34 and my board is a r33. There was a guy on here asking that same question a few months back and some guy who sells nistune was going to look into it for him but there are no updates to the post in months.

So can I just take the connector off of a r33 style ecu and repin my existing harness with that to match with either a r33 ro z32 ecu.

There is not alot of info on this swap the way I have done it with the rear sump pan. Most here who have done it have done it by hacking up the car, custom mounts and etc. I am trying to do it with as little fab work as possible and I read with a rear sump pan I could. But I can no longer find the article or the listing I had for the guy who swap one before. I know that in a Z31 you can do it with a rear sump and 200zr or custom mounts and some say even the existing Z31 mounts, but I have seen others say you cannot. So all help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I have been to the RB300zx site and the majority of them are doing it with a front sump pan, custom mounts and crossmembers. So that site is no help to me as far as dropping it into the car.

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
