The Relic gets back onto the streets.

Recently the Z's motor finally craped out, compression read as

60, 61, 70, 91, 84, 120


it should have been around 160 each cylinder...


anyway, so I decided to keep her alive with a new healthy powerplant

look at my avatar...yes its small to piss everyone off

I'm sure Red will let the cat out of the bag soon enough if he hasnt already told everyone but anyway, moving on....

I was on the freeway recently, and a red sporty bike was comming up, I was doin about 70, just cruzin up the 101 to kill time and enjoy drivin my Z. So I downshift, down to 3rd, only about 3K rpm....and I turn it up to a bar. He looks over, and hits it as I do, we both go ripping down the road, cars start to look like they are going in reverse as I slam it into 4th. 3rd tops out at about 100...so I know i'm flying *my speedo gave out...so I dont know for sure* I rember that the part i'm at goes into a bend...at 100 you dont even notice it but I was toping out 4th and putting it into fifth...the bike was falling behind slowly as we went into he, he didnt seem to have too much troubble, but from how he was leaning into it I was sure he was going to eat pavement. *what can I say, i'm not a biker...* The Z starts to understear so I keep the wheel going ever further to the side to keep from going into the semi seperating the biker and me. Finally I let off...I was going way too fast and didnt need to risk going faster, I had beaten a bike and was damn proud of myself. He matched my speed as I slowed down, checked out the Z and gave me a thumbs up.

It feels good to be fast again :grinyes:

Yeah, I'm almost in the same boat as you. My Civ is in it's last moments before it's going to die out. Motor swap will be coming this summer for me.

But, good story. Don't see you here that often anymore. Well, glad you still have the time to drop us a good story every now and then. Maybe you should just buy Red's Datsun instead?

look at my avatar...yes its small to piss everyone off

I don't even see an avitar...?
Edit: nm now i do

BTW you Z looks alot like red's Z lol

Maybe you should just buy Red's Datsun instead?



well the swap is already done sooo....I dont need two white swaped Z's even though they have different engines.

eventhough his z IS badass

i'll be posting more pics soon, recent ones too!

I say its an RB20.

ding ding ding you are correct. TV is now sporting a turbo straight 6 from a R32 GTS-T.

Thats very cool TV, your z is a hell of a lot nicer then mine even without the new engine lol.

WHY has there not been some cannibal warfare between the two Zs yet? I think I would like to see a video of you and Red racing more then any other race I can think of right now.

Cause, from a dig... I'd probably win cause of gear ratios.

From a roll, he'd probably win cause of gear ratios.


I've got a 3.9:1 ratio, he's get a 3.3:1 ratio...


Not to mention I'm a tad lighter overall.



And more importantly, My car wasn't running at the time of his car's completion.

Anywho, I'm going to be a dick and post pics of TV's car... tee hee

I don't approve of the stock intake manifold or the stock Z radiator.

But, that was due to lack of funding. So, it'll work great for now... also, I haven't seen the car in person yet since it was completed.

If TV gets his ass back down here I'll do a major photo shoot for him with my neato Camera for the masses of AF.

His car will have to take the name of Panda as my 240z is for sale... to start a second 240z project.

Don't FUCK UP THE REPUTATION I'VE STARTED!:grinno:

redneck, is your new project going to be faster? what you going to be doing differently? Will it be done by.....say, feb. '06? ;)

he's putting the 383 into the 240z, making it the 383z

holy shit

i wish i could take out a bike :(

What ever happened to the T-Bird? :confused:





:D

he's putting the 383 into the 240z, making it the 383z

I am? :confused:


Who told you that? Cause you're so wrong. The Nova and motor are for sale, and should be sold soon to a prospective buyer. :tongue:


Yes, the next project will be faster. Like 500hp faster. :redface:

you and your crazy RB engines!

stop trying to make the devil z!

I am? :confused:

holy shitX2

1. TerminalVelocity, your ride is da shit bro. I love that interior man. Exactly what I wanna do if I ever finish my Starion.

2. Red....you gotta tell us more bro. your a freaking tease!

What ever happened to the T-Bird? :confused:





:D

the t-bird was two cars ago. he got rid of the t-bird for a SR20DET powered S13 hatchback. he then scrapped that for the RB20DET powered 240Z.

it would be intresting if red did a v8 twin turbo in a z but the weight would ne way off. i say stick a rb26dett w/ a rb25 tranny and rear and call it a day..

1

Go TT 3.0L! You know its the best!

man if i had an old z, theres NO WAY any v6 would touch that engine bay. I6 or V8 thats it.

RB26DETT w/ custom T56 6-speed adapter.

I've already looked into it, and it can be done. It'll be the only one of its kind.

that is all

now thats a fuckin engine for ya

good luck with the swap, and if it works out im flying down to california to ride in it

I've already got my eyes on a N1 RB26DETT with damn-near fresh turbines... apparently she's making 350+whp in a GT-R. I'd imagine it'd make a bit more in my car... but not much more.

That'll be more than sufficient for starters.... sorry for hyjackin your thread TV.

The Relic knows not fear!! :lol:

Fantastic car I love the rb20det. I bet that engine sounds great when you get into the revs. RB36dett red..... should have gone with the vk45de-tt though.. sike! nice call.
1. TerminalVelocity, your ride is da shit bro. I love that interior man. Exactly what I wanna do if I ever finish my Starion.

You should post some pics of the starion. After I finish my sentra I was thinking about getting a 1988 chrysler conquest, and building it up. Does your starion have the 2.6 turbo?

i've seen the rb26 in a 260z before...

but the trans is def sweet. fucking wangan midnight posers



(speaking of which i ordered 1/2 that series yesterday)

My Starion is junk right now man, I'd only get flamed if I posted pics. the motor is the stock G54B. it is the 2.6 turbo. I've been working on it for a year but havent got very far. I did play around with the idea of installing an RB26DETT in her just like Redneck mentioned on his Z, it lasted for about 30 seconds and then I was back on track, I dont think it would ever work on a Starion.

you guys see how he did that autometer guages everywhere, that shit looks baddass! thats what I was gonna do. I bought some carbon-fiber sheets and was making my own dash but then I started thinking about the warning lights. I'm sort of torn right now cause the guage pod it has is really ugly but it is usefull when something fails....I just dont know what to do!

TV that thing is sick bro, and Red you better get us a shitload of pics when you get the new project.

Red, don't listen to anyone. Forget all your future plans now. Go GS-R swap all the way. B18C1 + Boost= :thumbsup:.

LMAO~!

hahahah!, thanks for saving me the troubble of posting pics red!

the t-bird ate death at 80mph

brakes and seat belt not working at the same time SUCKS

especally when you have a hard wheel... :icon16:

And yah, red should win off the launch and honestly I think he would we would be close on the wangan!....i'm such a dork....

but yah...I got mass respect for panda ver.1

tonight we will have more pics!

Nah, I personally think you'd walk past me on the highway. She runs out of gear at about 140mph. :lol: I know, it's still fast... but you've got the highway gears.

Yes, tonight I'll take more pics of your car for the masses of AF. Yes... :smokin:

Redneck,
I think you should make your Z the wildest yet.

How about an SB2 headed 400 small block, 11:1 compression, 600+ hp. Jesel shaft rockers, Ti valves, solid roller cam, dry sump setup, Holley 950 HP, full forged bottom end. Put it in front of a T56 and a Centerforce clutch, and add a 200 hp nitrous kit.

Hold on to your britches, lo and behold, a 9 sec. street Z. I see enough surplus NASCAR stuff on ebay that with wise shopping you could do it for around $6K.

I have contemplated building a Yates-headed 408 for my '78. Makes me get a hard on when I think of 600+ hp in a 2700 lb car.

Till then I guess you will "just" have to deal with your boosted import engines. Sounds like you have had great success. Keep it up!

Cheers,
Andy

I think TV got rid of the t-bird cuz of a certain 5.0 Fox.. hehehe
:grinyes:

j/k




And Red: You jerk! My Nova! I'll kill you!
