Returning Member From 8 Year Absence

[skidmark]

well ill be. I even remebered my pass word

Hi people. I sold my r32 around 8 years ago so have been off line for a while. I was trolling the members list and still see some familiar name.

Any way I dont have a skyline but i am building a skyline powered vehicle. I have a datsun 240z which is almost finished the body resto stage,

I have just bought a rb20det package with every thing needed to bolt it in to the car.

I am no stranger to the forums so i know about the search function but if i cant find what i am looking for i hope you dont mind me asking questions if i need to regarding wiring it all up

thanx

ahhhh ok i should have taken notice of my join date for an accurate absenteeism date. it was just a guestimation. I guess that was my first mistake mybad

Welcome! I think you mean you're returning after 6 years, you joined 2004....

The Z is looking pretty tough already! But.... why an RB20?

[bozodos]

your other thread is in the newbie section in the wasteland, mods will probably lock and delete this one fyi

yeh sorry about that. I should have payed attention to my join date and not made a guesstimation.

An rb20 you ask? Well i got it as a package for $3000. I thought this was a good deal

engine and gear box

computer and loom

engine mounts , gear box mounts to suit 240z

tail shaft

3" mandrel exhaust

intercooler and piping

Ill i am missing it the fuel pump set up

The engine is puting out 195rwkw so shold push my 1000kg 240z along rather well

I may upgrade to an rb25 down the track if im not happy with the rb20

why dont you think the rb20 is good enough for a 240z ?

thanx for the interest guys. I was originally going to run an l28et but the rb20det fell in to my lap. there are a few cool early zed floting around ozz thereis a couple of guys i know, One is puting an ls1 in his and the other an xr6 turbo motor. both will be leathal combinations. I am only looking for around 220 to 250 rwkw. I realy dont think these cars need any mor than that or they just lose it through loss of traction. As it is i will be rinning 9.5 inch rims on the back to try and keep as much power to the ground as possible

[ctjet]

I think you're on the right track, the car 'can' take more power but it really shouldnt in my opinion. What your aiming for will be more than enough.

At high speed it seems very unstable, and strapping in 400bhp+ is just not going to end well

keep the pics coming tho, very sexy cars.
