Seeking expressions of interest in my1973 Datsun240z, fitted with an RB25det

http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,9254.0.html

This is an unfinished project ! but is as close tobeing complete as ever, it drives and runs, it is in the final buttoning uproad tests and working out the kinks.

I have receipts for parts that total around the 30k!! Most parts bought at trade price

Most of the work has been completed by myself,except where things needed to be done by the pros, such as Brake calliperrebuilds and things that were out side my scope.

This has been an ongoing project for over 5 years !

The car had been garaged for 5 years before i gotit and was in good condition for its age, the transplant just evolved as timewent on. The body was in good nick and i have pictures of the panels etc beforethe paint went on.

If you were to pay trades for the work done onthis car as well as parts you would not get much change out of 60-70k.Countless hours have been spent on this car.

Parts list is as follows.

1. Front and rear brake upgrade, Hilux front withvented and slotted rotors, maxima rears.

2. Coil overs on all fours, standard Monroecomfort gas at this stage/ not sectioned

3. series 1 rb25det with turbo 5 speed box

4. Front mount intercooler.

5. All rubbers and bushes replaced with new, ifnot replaced i have the spares to replace (90%done)

6. front pedders sway bar.

7. all new steering components apart from the rack( ball joints, rack ends caster rod bushes etc ) Brand new set of RLCA to befitted

8. Re trimmed seats and the rest of the interiorhas minimal damage. ( dash has cracks in it )

9. New carpet kit, not installed.

10. full Autometer ultra lite guage kit, with Blueback lit LED

11. New brake master, 7/8

12. Modified fuel tank to take in tank pump withswirl pot. ( Will take any pump you want to use )

13. braided brake lines.

14. re trimmed door trims, just the outsidesection. still looks factory less the chrome strip

15. R200 viscous LSD (re built)

16. All new diff mounting hardware.

17. Custom fabricated 4130 CV shaft setup thatuses a SS CV for easy replacement ( not that it will need it )

18. Rota wheels 16x8 Grids. Now i did have the17x9.5 on it and look f$#@n Mad, but these ones will clear engineers cert. Theycome with second hand racing, street legal semi slicks.

19. new steering wheel.

20. Heater hoses have been replaced, along withnearly every other hose on the car.

21. Modified/ re build radiator with 16inch thermo.

22. all new sensor package for the engine, oil,water etc etc etc.

23. Pod filter, new

24. Cut and welded quarters for extra large wheels.

25. new wind screen and rubber

26. custom engine mounts and and cross member

27. Full custom stainless 3inch exhaust with highflow stainless cats and muffler, also comes with Cat delete pipe.

28. New diamond cut headlights.

29. Nearly every screw, nut and bolt has beenreplaced with an Allan key bolt of differing types, T handle Allan keys and acordless drill will be your best friend on this car. It comes apart and goestogether very easily as all has been striped, cleaned, re built and re fittedwith new hardware

30. New locks and ignition with new keys.

31. New window runner inserts and rubbers.

32. New carbon fibre gear knob

33. new pedal rubbers.

34, Centre console has been redone to delete theold choke cable holes etc,

35. new clutch master cylinder

36. new fixed position seat belts.

We have started the fabrication for the stereothat has room for 4 x 6inch speakers and a 10 inch sub, will be loud enough.(extra cost)

Too much to remember or mention. All the partsthat are required for a conversion of this nature have been Made ( a hella lotof parts) bought and installed and no expense has been spared on parts for thisproject. Will have to see to believe. A couple guys from this forum have seenit, as i sold them some un used parts.

To be totally honest i never built this car tosell it, everything that has been done was to bring the car back to brand new.I was going to keep it for ever. i never dreamed of selling it. But i havesince found a very prize piece of land on the gold coast and the money has tocome from somewhere.

The car has only done maybe 500klms not 500,000since all of this work.

It has had its first engineering inspection andonly requires minor work to Rego. Seat belts, Brake lines brackets need to berelocated.

Now the bad news.

Gearbox syncros need to be replaced and mite aswell do a clutch while your there., New RT mount to be installed.

Way to much to mention.

Open to serious offers and inspections. I could doan "open day" for inspections if i get that sort of interest.

It will still need 3-4k to get it complete andrace/road worthy. Some Dyno time, and other small finishing bits are required.You will still need to spend some money. If no decent offers ill finish thework and re advertise as a 911 turbo killer.

This is an fantastic setup that can only havepower added to it, not sure if it needs it.

I think all in the scene are well aware of thework required to get a car to this stage.

Needs new bonnet but the existing one is ok forthe moment.

Also comes with some spares, bits and pieces,spare paint, Bumper over riders, bushes etc

Can drop me a line on 0429 030 152 for interest ora chat, Dave is the Name.

I am keen to sell but wont give it away either, sobe honest and we can talk from there. Low balling offers wont be entertained. Ido not have to sell but do really love this piece of paradise on the gold coast.

Feel free to ask any questions. Car is located inMetro Victoria, off the eastern FWY

Would consider finishing the project for the riteprice. Please be aware that anyone looking at a classic car like this will haveto live with things not being perfect, it is nearly 40 years old. Although allthe hard work has been done, and done well.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
