Hi guys!

I am a 29 year old guy from Norway.

I have owned my Datsun 240Z since early 2013 and for the last couple of years I have been working on an L31 stroker for it. This project has been an expensive pain in the ass, and I just recently decided to sell the engine and choose the RB path instead.

I have just sold the stroker, and bought myself a couple of RB20's (Got them very cheap, couldn't resist) and a tranny, wiring and everything. 

When I started googling my questions about the RB I stumbled upon these forums, so I thought it would be smart to become a member here?

 

I'll leave a picture of my baby here as well☺️

 

Best regards,

Tomzern

Hi Tomzern

Nice looking Z

On the face of it an RB20 is too small for your Z (although at least its not as heavy as the 260).  If its all you have then with a decent turbo and a bit of work it shouldn't be too sluggish and it can sound the part anyway!

Good luck

Hi Kiwi,

 

Thanks! :)

Well, actually it is a big bore Rb20, so it's a 2,26L, with forged pistons and some other nice bits. I made a topic about it in the RB section.

I think it will work very well in the Z, as it is a very small and light car (around 1060kg), and the sound is half the fun. I'm hoping for high rpm figures :D

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
