I fitted a L28et into a S13 back in 1994.

I used the stock fs5w71b tranny that came in the 280zx.

Most any car I do gets a custom driveshaft. I like to stay with a one piece and replace any center bearing driveshaft with the one piece.

Mounts are close but sump needs a little bit of work and you have to make a custom turbo elbow to clear the steering shaft and I seem to remember that I had to lay the rack down a little to clear the T3 so a bigger turbo might net you clearance problems.

It was a long time ago so details are sketchy.

I put L series six cylinder engines into all of my nissans including my M30/Leopard.

Luckily I dont' own a 510 or I would be in for a lot of fabrication.
