hey all im in the middle of building a RB26 and am starting to strongly consider selling my 33 and purchasing an old nissan/datson.

was after some opinion of what to look into...

looking at a massive power to weight ratio.

i have thought of the obvious like 1600 and dato ute.. but is there any other wicked old skool cars out there???

and will it fit is prolly a good question..

i no some one has a 30det in a 240z

would love to put my 1000hp GTR engine into a Charger...C4 auto and massive rear slicks.

would run 8's at the strip.

Ive owned 6 Chargers in my younger days they are around 1100kg with the Hemi 6 in them...it would haul ass!!

Strawberry faced 180SX with an RB30 has always been a dream of mine

So have a 26 powered WB ute!

Strangly, I want to put a TT LS1 in a 33.

Would the engine fit into something crazy like a Navara or Hilux?

Gemini?

Van even?

I could on for days...

lol @ gemini, when i had my lil gem i was considering a ca18 swap, rb26 would be bad idea haha power to weight plus youd have to cut into the fire wall etc etc.

buy my gf's FTO and put it in that! doo it. :blink:

old school volvo 240.

That well get some :blink:

Road or drag?

Road some light jap car of your choice

Drag any muscle car that takes your fancy, but you would have been better off with a gen3 v8. Lighter with possibly more potential

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
