well ill be. I even remebered my pass word :whistling:

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

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?

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 ?

my mate has a pretty sweet 260 Z

love the look of the thing

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

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.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
