Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z
Good work on the little ground wire. Thats an important wire too, I remember when that wire broke on my 1:1 240Z, all sorts of funny things start to happen. Whats worse was that it was at night when it did brake.....ah memories.......
keep it up! ![]()

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z
Greg that means alot to me coming from the man with the uber Z build!
I did some work on the turbo. Mounted/clocked turbine to compressor, added the coolant line: ![]() Then I made a downpipe out of solder, painted it black(coated) and tried to simulate the welding onto the compressor flange: ![]() Finally, I added a little detail I think Rob will be happy with, the wastegate plumbing! ![]() ![]() |

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z
I'm really enjoying watching this build and find it inspirational. In fact, this build is the main reason I got a 240z for myself...a truly gorgeous car.
One thing I'd like to comment on however is your engine bay. It could just be the lighting in the photos, but your wastegate/turbo plumbing looks to have a bit of a rough finish. In your reference photo, everything looks smoother but things like the two white bottles next to the turbo assembly appear to have flashing/mold lines still on it. Those close-up shots make it quite prominent but further away it looks ok. I just figured since you're detailing the engine bay so much it might be worth considering. Don't mean to "rain on your parade"... ![]()
