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

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.

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.

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
