Hello from the states 👋 New here, but been interested in Nissans on and off for about 20 years. As a broke college kid I had an S13 coupe, and managed to scrape together enough $ to do an RB20 swap. This was ~2003 before the drift craze made everything expensive and destroyed all the S-chassis cars. It was fun but I was broke, so it remained slow; given the funds, I would have gone with an RB25 and gone wild with it.

Now, after life and career and shit, I have money but much less time. Such is life 🤷‍♂️

I'm building an '82 Datsun 280ZX and dropping an RB25 into it, the motor's currently being built. Already have a plan sorted out (most of one anyway) and a whole mess of parts sitting in the garage, waiting to be put to use.

Good to be here =D I have a question or two about turbine housings but probably will do a bit more scouring before posting about it....

Welcome!

Yeah I need pics too. Who doesn't love a good Z project?!

These are from when I got it last year. It looks decidedly less nice now, after pulling the front bumper and giving it a nice reverse rake (by pulling the drivetrain).

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
