Hi all. After a long time in hybernation my datto is back on the road. what started as a 'blowover' (yeah right) when i lost my lisense turned into a full resto. Me and my brothers did all the prep work and painted the door jambs, inner doors etc, then off it went to magic touch for the outside coat. (car doesnt fit in our furniture spray booth). The car was painted in a 2k clear over base version of the standard color.

The engine is an L28 F54/P90 combo. the heads been shaved off its head :) to bring the comp up to 10.2:1. it uses a 74 degree wade cam (2nd biggest 1 they make). the bottom end just has 1mm oversize pistons. the super duper crap restrictive inlet man. has a 65mm t/b. All is controlled by an autronic smc. The car was dynod and made 142kw@wheels.

all in all im just rapt to have it driving again..

enjoy the pics

in the beggining....

Great to see that someone is willing to keep the old 240K up and running in top shape.

It makes me miss my old '77 4 door even more. Triple 45 DCOE Webers, big cam, tuned headers, ..... and 196 rwhp (when I could keep it all together).

Keep up the great work and enjoy the old girl.

Very nice car mate! looks like you've really done things properly, do you have any pics of inside the car?

thanks, ye i do but the interior is sill standard, but thats next considering im in the upholstery business! :P

looks like youve got urself a neet coupe there. looks awsome in silver. is it turbocharged? What engine are you running?

Thanks Terry.

-hgc110-, my C110 has just got the standard L24 and 5 speed at the moment but I might upgrade it in the future. I haven't had the car that long so i'm still deciding what I'll do with it.

Are you running extractors or a Cast twin exit manifold?

Thanks Terry.

    • Back on topic for you for a post Will it be on pump or ethanol? 2025 Spec RB build: G30 660 .83 would be good  artec manifold turbosmart 45mm external gate 1000cc Injectors Kelford cams 264 and springs Pistons and rods for insurance Oil pump with billet gears Headdrain and all good oil mods Quality intercooler 3.5 inch dump pipe to decent exhaust Link plugin Ecu or what ever your tuning is comforatble with Bolt on Trigger Kit - Nzwiring kit is go to ARP Headstuds Quality headgasket quality fuel pump- a TI/walbro 525lph PWM would be the go Quality fuel reg Will be over $15K AUD Enjoy the noise of rb on gate at over 7400rpm. Start looking for gearbox conversions if your hard on the gear. Now I've been there and done that with rb powered street car (2007-2022) much prefer newer stuff. Anything 90's Japanese is not a great experience these days and highly over rated. My 2015 Brz with a heap of suspension mods is such a better car even with out the power of my old s chassis' even on track. If wanting to play light chassis and decent power for a  giggle a k swap 86/brz would be the go Check my old build for engine stuff I really need to pay attention to post 2016 BMW stuff but seem all very heavy 1600+kg  
    • I mean, the 240i is not a Supra... make it drop a few hundred kg, have a sportscar chassis, clearance for wheels etc... Maybe I want a hardtop Z40i XDrive or something :p I do agree with you though and have long said the B58 Supra/240i/340i/440i is the new R Chassis/JDM90's turbo rocket for mod lovers to ... not always appreciative response lol. Doesn't make it not true though.
    • I will do the build myself but I will be paying for the tune because I don't know how much about that and would rather it be done right and by a professional 
    • Will you build and tune it yourself or do you need to pay for labour? 
    • Mechanically that's essentially what the M240i is, it's just not pretending it's not a BMW
