Hi guys!

I am a 29 year old guy from Norway.

I have owned my Datsun 240Z since early 2013 and for the last couple of years I have been working on an L31 stroker for it. This project has been an expensive pain in the ass, and I just recently decided to sell the engine and choose the RB path instead.

I have just sold the stroker, and bought myself a couple of RB20's (Got them very cheap, couldn't resist) and a tranny, wiring and everything. 

When I started googling my questions about the RB I stumbled upon these forums, so I thought it would be smart to become a member here?

 

I'll leave a picture of my baby here as well☺️

 

Best regards,

Tomzern

Hi Tomzern

Nice looking Z

On the face of it an RB20 is too small for your Z (although at least its not as heavy as the 260).  If its all you have then with a decent turbo and a bit of work it shouldn't be too sluggish and it can sound the part anyway!

Good luck

Hi Kiwi,

 

Thanks! :)

Well, actually it is a big bore Rb20, so it's a 2,26L, with forged pistons and some other nice bits. I made a topic about it in the RB section.

I think it will work very well in the Z, as it is a very small and light car (around 1060kg), and the sound is half the fun. I'm hoping for high rpm figures :D

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
