In this fabrication series episode, we're covering a re-cap of the 280z brake booster install in a 240z. This is a pretty common swap, but some people can be apprehensive due to the lack of information online, and outdated forum posts with no pictures to reference. In this video we'll show you exactly where you need to re-drill and enlarge holes in your 240z firewall to accommodate the larger 2...

Learning a lot from watching these videos, unfortunately, I recently sold the last of the s30 z cars I had - but I'm getting lots of ideas for when inevitably drag another dilapidated Z car home! Wish they weren't so uncommon in Canada. I'm enjoying watching your vlogs!
Thanks for watching! What part of Canada are you in? We actually have quite a few customers in Ontario, as well as the Edmonton and Calgary areas.
I'd love to see a series on restoring a Z. I just got a 280Z and am struggling to find a recipe of working configurations. Like how do I take a stock car and modernize it. Something like a playbook that you could even sell that compiles all the information on what to do and what to get.
We may eventually do an overview type video covering a few different directions you can go in. At the moment the VLOGs expend quite a bit of resources to get made on time, and we still have quite a few instructional videos still in production. Maybe once we get monetized we can hire some full time staff to do our UA-cam operations :) Thank you for watching! We appreciate it
My 2 cents as a Z tech Master Tech 50 years...#1. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE IN HELL OF PROVIDING QUAILTY WORK WHEN YOUR UNORGANIZED IN EVERY ASPECT. The shop needs to be cleaned, organized, a work bench in front of every lift. Carts that have only 1 cars parts on them. A running build plan for that day for every tech. Every a.m. you need to have a meeting w techs on what is next and what you expect. Throwing bad new parts and cutting into cars lol. Brotherman you need a demo 240z that represents your recomendations on the best upgrades. Every customer will want what you did on theat car IF YOU KNOW WHAT PARTS ARE BEST! Do you?
Thank you for the valuable insight. We must say, there is a ton of information here that you are obviously not privy to, however if you'd like to send us a resume, we can put you in the running for the #1 shop manager when we're ready to hire one :)
Hey guys! I have messaged on here and insta, have some questions for my project. Could you guys please write me back?
Somehow we must have missed your IG message, please send us an e-mail directly to the company inbox Godzillaraceworks@gmail.com Thanks
A Datsun 510
I did this swap but bought a booster from JDM. I was able to mount it with the hose connection on the other side like the stock unit. had to take a hammer to the edge by the throttle linkage mount but you can't notice it. They told me I installed it upside down. I'm not sure that is correct but I made it work regardless. I do have an adjustable porportioning valve as well. You do need that for 4 wheel disc setup.
So for the AEM gauge it has the positive White output wire and a negative Brown output wire. Which one do I use to plug into the wideband wire on the harness? And what do I do with the other one?
Seeing a LOT of poor seat of the paints engineered product from apex🥱
I still have a dozen cans of R12 from way back when.
That's worth on average like $8/ounce
Awesome work guys :)
Thanks for watching!
One day I'll have mine back.
We spoke with John over at LSpec late last week, he is hoping to have all of the cylinder heads, including your's ready to head back this way by end of this week, early next week. Last piece of the puzzle!
@@GodzillaRaceworks noice I'm ready to see it on these vlogs!
Who’s the cute ginger at 2:40???????
Awesome update, very nice camera work and editing too!
Thanks for watching! We certainly appreciate it!
Nice z bro love my z
Thanks for posting these, said it before but these vlog updates are a great insite in what goes into all of these builds.
Thank you for watching! We really appreciate that!
glad i found your channel/shop. looks like ya'll are real Z experts. what do you think the chances are of getting a 240-280Z set up to fit someone whose 6'5 300 lbs? i don't have any Z cars around me to sit in. id start shopping for one if i knew i could fit.
We actually built a 280z 2+2 which has far more leg and height room than the standard coupe. That customer was very tall, and really valued the additional room. That build can be found here ua-cam.com/video/OwCSeQN5I8o/v-deo.htmlsi=cxcsuMJ3J8mRGDAs
I’m going to do TL70 to KA24de for my 200sx💪🏽
Very nice! You'll love it!
Hey I am unable to find this product on your site? Any reason why? And do you ship to UK?
This product and all e-commerce Lexus support has been discontinued by our company. See why here ua-cam.com/video/6A9bijybLQU/v-deo.htmlsi=TE8iDpNtyQ2Ya-iC&t=1881
Awesome job guys. Thanks for making it right.
Love all the work you do. I just got an 87 280z black pearl edition but don’t know how I want to build it everybody keeps telling me to leave it as it is, but I want to do something different. What are your thoughts?
Sounds good to me.
Thank you! And thank you for watching
@GodzillaRaceworks Any suggestions for diff ratio for a spirited driver and GT/cruiser (not a race or track car)? I'm thinking 3.54 (maybe 3.9 at most). Looking to hwy cruise nicely on long trips around 75mph give or take. Playing with online calculators but would love to hear actual experience with this transmission in a car. Decently built L28 going in.
One of our technicians owns the Blue turbo 280z that we used for development, he has a 3.5 ratio and at 80mph his crusing RPMs are roughly 2500-3000 rpms. If you're going to be running a naturally aspirated setup, it may like the 3.9 better depending on the kind of driving you're doing. 3.5 is perfect for a turbo setup, where as 3.9 would be too quick through the gears to build boost effectively in the lower gears.
Cool edit
Hello from Miami, FL. I love the videos guys! Hardcore z guy here. Love what y’all are doing keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching! We really appreciate it!
@GodzillaRaceworks - is it a requirement to make sure timing is set to TDC before setting up the ecu with the information provided in the instructions for the base tune? According 280zx manual, timing is supposed to be somewhere around 20° BTDC +/- 3°. or does this not matter because it will be controlled by the ecu and i can just change it through the tunerstudio?
Yes, otherwise all of your adjustments, etc. will be off
@@GodzillaRaceworks ok so set it to exactly tdc? Or should I set it to the btdc degree?
Which vibrant code is this?
Its Vibrant Part # 1091
good job !
Still waiting for the pancakes to show up…
Next time we'll make sure to film ourselves eating lol
Good video. Needs more pancakes.
Does the accumulator and drier come with oil? How much added oil would you recommend with the 240z kit you provide?
They do not come with oil. Typically you want to add 1 ounce to the condenser, 1 ounce to the drier.
Regarding the LS in my Z, I actually haven't had it dyno'd so not sure exactly how much it makes but it should be right around 400whp based on all the research I've done and my tuner's opinion. My motor is a true LS1 though so 5.7l instead of a 5.3l and I have a couple bolt ons as well as a sizable cam. My honest guess as to the power you could get out of a cammed 5.3 LS motor is somewhere in the 350-380whp range but that is just an educated guess, either way it will be more than enough for the street.
Thanks for the feedback! Even un-tuned it already feels like it's going to be a very quick v8 car for sure.
Supras are so clean
You guys do amazing work! The work you guys have done for my 280z has made it the coolest thing I own by a mile!
Thanks for the kind words! We definitely appreciate the business and are honored to be a part of your build.
Loving this blog series, keeps me inspired to finish my S130. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for watching! You'll probably enjoy the fab series we do on the remote turbo on our development 280zx in a few months
Who’s the cutie at 2:10?
Was that supposed to be plural? :P
Awesome video, is there an estimated date for part 2?
We're hoping within the next few weeks, ideally we only have to make the video once haha, so it takes a little bit to proof everything and make sure we didn't leave anything out.
@@GodzillaRaceworks Awesome, looking forward to it!
Definitely keep making these vlogs. There's not enough Z guys vlogging! Love your business!
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback. Let us know if there is anything you'd like more or less of!
@@GodzillaRaceworks Anything S30 related ill take. I'm trying to get my 260z done so i need all the motivation i can get. I'm running a few of your products and its great!
@@kegelcramp We definitely appreciate the business! We're here if you need anything
@10:58 this is worng just so you dont have to do it twice like i am and throw cd009 around use the turbo 280zx throw out barring and collar along with the 280z slave cylinder to have a solid pedal feel

Are bolts included with when purchasing the the brackets?
No, you will reuse your factory bolts that come out. If you do not have the factory bolts, they should all be M6x1.0x12mm.
Sorry if I missed, did you peen your welds on the head? I'm wondering if that would have helped (had you not done that).
So we're all pretty much self taught in the shop as far as welding goes, to my understanding I've only seen peening done with stick welding and steel, I've never seen it or heard of it being done on aluminum, but to answer your question, no we did not. I don't think it would have helped though, there just wasn't enough good parent material in there when we started repairing it the first time, and a lot of the "good metal" that could have been welded to was deeper in the bore and effectively out of position for a good weld. Unfortunately we can't save them all.
@@GodzillaRaceworks thanks for the response, we're all in the process of learning something new to hone our skills. It's worth looking into, based on some quick searches it would be beneficial to do your initial pass, peen to compact the metal, then take another pass with the welder to prevent porosity/cracks. Keep the posts up, I especially enjoy the S30 content.
@@Tony240ztGood to know! We own this head now so maybe we'll practice on it since it's junk anyways haha
Great taste in shop music.
Thanks! It can be anything from metal, to classic rock, to rap, to country haha
Why the resonators and muffler and not just straight pipe after the x pipes? And do the x pipes remove the drone on the freeway at 70-80mph?
Because it sounded terrible. Like, absolutely terrible. The X pipes don't necessarily remove drone, at least not as much as the resonator, but it evens out the pulses which can cause drone. The bottle resonators and the mufflers made the biggest difference. The drone with the factory mufflers and all OE resonators deleted was borderline unmanageable
Call me a slight n63 expert. I can hear your timing chain guides louder than your exhaust. This engine is on its last leg. I built enough n63 to tell lol.
@@cornholo1 When/where are you hearing timing chain guides? All we hear is exhaust noise and alternator whine
love the claw hammer lmao
Desperate times call for desperate measures, many men have died through-out history from whatever has been within reach :P
In my experience, nothing within reach is safe from being used as a hammer XD@@GodzillaRaceworks

Would this be any similar to a Datsun 510 install? Would love to have AC for those hot summer days!
The physical install would be the same, yes. We just wouldn't be able to offer any hoses or brackets, but you can buy just the HVAC box and the controller from us Godzillaraceworks.com/hvac
