saw this on youtube, must say that they do some pretty impressive work!

good work guys!

I wonder what would happen if Rigoli built a light datsun for his RB30 ? or Martook? those datsuns weigh 1000kgs yeah ?

1200's are more like 720/730kg. Perfect weight to start off with. Rigoli had a tubbed 1200 ute at an expo 2 weeks ago that looked FJ powered (bonnet wasnt up enough to really see at the time).

yeah rigoli's ute was fiat powered, he has had that for years no ???

Im talkin a rb30 powered datto like RIPS

pretty sure anothy with vl god from mautouks racing will braek it very soon

Rigoli's built that engine in their car. Its always at their fabrication shop next door.

Rigoli's VL has no weight reduction in it at all either or it didnt last time i was sitting in it.

1200's used a 4cly engine, whereas the zed's used a 6, which saves a lot of fabrication putting the engine in.

this thread reminds me of my dato 1600 i built 10yrs ago with an fj20t

what a beast. cheap fun except 4 traction

i had a 180b sss with a FJ20det in it as well. had around 260hp at wheels. traction is a interesting topic with those saggy rear ends hey ? :)

The 240z race weight was 1277.5kg as it was REALLY over built when they did the rear end, lots of thick heavy box section in the rear.

The new car which is getting the 240z motor is quite a bit lighter so hopefully we'll get the times down some more and keep the Aussie's (who are obviously on the way) at bay :P

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
