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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
