part of owning a pintara is that nothing is off the shelf.. you have to use your noodle and think outside the box a little to make things work. there will be some work to make stuff fit regardless.

there is nothing i'm aware of thats a straight bolt on fit.. ka24e tb is actually an upgrade for the 300zx.. you're going to need at least an enlarged opening on the plenum to accomodate a larger tb.. failing that, you're gonna need a custom plenum.

yeah i dont really have the knowledge time money or tools for major custom work like that, i was hoping at least an old skyline one might fit or sumin, but i guess cuz the pinnie is fwd that makes it difficult. well thats a bummer, cuz i really wanted to try and get my pinnie up to about the 200hp mark before i had to sell it

Skylines are 6 cylinders, pintaras are 4s. Completely different intake manifolds.

something i had seen done on a skyline was the owner blocked off the normal entrance to the plenum and then cut a hole and had two flanged welded onto the long side (front) of the plenum, then fitted 2 throttle bodies.

seemed to work, he got substantially better numbers on the dyno than any of the other 31 owners.
