240z Rb30det


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,i was going to sell this car a while ago but i decided not to ecause i love it but due to circumstances changing and needind a family car it is up for sale again,but this time it has to go,along with my GTR.

I have a 1972 240z (2seater) it has an rb30 block that has been re-built just with linished std rods acl race bearings etc,head is a rb25det with the vvt deleted,it was re-built with stock cams 3 angle valve grind,new guides,arp studs etc.

It has a greddy plenum with xf tb

550 cc injectors with custom top feed rail and SX regulator

300-600 custom cooler

Garret GT35R with a 1.06 exh housing

Tial external gate with screamer

Microtech lt12-s with x-6 sequential ignition with bosch coils and magnicor leads

Turbosmart e-boost2 (sleeper series)

Custom 3" exhaust

Big radiator

VG30dett 5 speed(same as rb25 with better ratios)

Custom tailshaft

R32 lsd with custom en26 axels and V8 commodore cvs

Custom rear disk conversion

Autometer gauges

044 pump with surge tank etc

Electric water pump and thermo fan

I did the usual 1000 km run in then took the car to the dyno and made 320 hp @ the wheels on 10psi

the tuner told me it easily has potential to make 500+rwhp with more boost but to drive it for a while to get used to it first..

At the moment it is midway through being painted,i figure it is better to sell as is in primer so the new owner can choose the colour but if i cant sell it i will paint it then sell it.

I was driving this car to work ever day prior to taking it off the road for paint and it is a pretty good car to drive but to be honest it isnt really the type of car i would use as my only mode of transport.

This will be a really cool car when done and i hate to see it go but you gotta do what you gotta do.

It would benefit a lot from a roll cage which my engeneer has given the ok to put in on the street..The whole thing has gotten the nod from the engineer it just has to be taken to him once painted so he can write it all up..it is currently engineered with an rb20 so the rb30 is just an update on the current engeneers report.Unfortunatly i let it run out of rego a few months ago ut it will have no probs passing.plates come with it GTR 240

If you have a look around you will see that a standard 240z is worth 10-20k these days depending on condition so i am asking 13k but am open to offers..it owes me more than double that.will post better pics soon.

for more details pm or ring luke 0410497808

What's the rust like? Rear tail lights, boot floor, sills?

Is there any knock in the tune?

What suspension is in it. What size are those wheels. Are you using nissan 4 pots on the front?

Cheers

It has had new floors,tail lights are good,rust been fixed in sills..small amount of rust in lh door.repacment skin can be bought from rare spares..

Knock in the tune?I dont understand why there would be any knock in the tune..if there was knock it wouldnt be tuned properly.

260z suspension with pedders gas shocks..the wheels are a whopping 14" and the brakes fit inside the by only millimeters..have toyota 4 pots for the front.direct bolt on to original mount

cheers

I really like your car.

RE: the knock, 20ish is generally acceptable - was just asking if it was tuned proper.

I tried talking my cousin into buying it but he won't look at anything without a 350chev in it.

Good price for a rust free 240. 14's must be fun =D

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks buddy.yep rust free 240's are definatly getting pretty pricey these days..(yep the 14's are a lot of fun lol)

what pistons you using in there?

the pistons are just rb30e's.just cast ones..prob 1 regret i do have is not putting forgies in but i didnt plan on going as far with it as i did..

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
