fivetenzen Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I just picked up a 90 240SX cheap and thought I would put the engine in the Roadster - I'm sure it has been done, anyone have any info and pictures. I see alot of swaps out there but none address the KA24E in any detail. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 check 311s.org, has all sorts of roadster info including KA swaps x2 Quote Link to comment
fivetenzen Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 looked at 311s.org and didn't see where it said anything about the ka swap. It has a heading, but nothing under it. So where is it on the site? Thanks Quote Link to comment

fivetenzen Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 The swap section is hidden to unregistered members. You need to sign-up for membership and then you will be able to see the swap section. Ok tried to register - this is got to be one of the most difficult sites I have ever had to deal with. I finally found where to register, then filled it all out - but could not anwser the anit-bot question. So never did get registered. I think it will be easier to put the engine in the roadster. I am mor mechanical then computer smart. But thanks for the help. Steve Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 should just be able to type datsun roadster in for the answer Quote Link to comment
fivetenzen Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 should just be able to type datsun roadster in for the answer That is what I thought - I tried datsun -datsun roadster - 311's - 310/311's - I will try again and see - LOL Ok tried again (datsun roadster) and no way anti bot thing again - I hate things like this becuase it alway make me fell like I have no idea what I am doing, then come to find out it will be something stupid or the server was down :) - Like I said I will just put the engine in and start from scratch, i don't like following rule anyway - Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 odd you might give them an email, they should be able to help you out (plus a crapload of info is there on stuff that helps like balljoints for our car) Quote Link to comment

fivetenzen Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks - That looks good in there. Doesn't look like he had to cut his front cross member? Make it a little easier, the oil filter I can relocate so that should be easy. I will looking for the guy - guess he isn't on the site anymore that was some years ago. But I will have to get this engine out and get busy. if like anything else it will take some time as I always have 20 irons in the fire. Thanks for your help in finding the info - it sure will help - Steve Quote Link to comment
Tomakze Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Isn't the '70 Roadster called a 240Z? in 1970, Datsun sold both the 240z and the roadster. 1970 was the last year the roadster was produced. :) I am planning on swapping a KA24E into my '68 roadster. should be pretty darn fun! I have everything i need to do it, now i just have to find the time... :/ I look forward to seeing this project progress, if you decide to do it!!! Quote Link to comment
