Possible future project
I was kickin around some ideas in my head today and I came up with one i think has some merit. I am thinkin about dropping an RB20DET into a 280ZX. I love the original Z-car styling. The RB20DET should be pretty close in weightand size to the Z's inline 6 but make more power with a few mild mods and be easier to live with.
Why RB20DET instead of SR20DET, RB25DET or RB26DETT? A: because of money. SR20's, RB25's and 26's are starting to get pricey. I've seen R32 front clips for less than 3 grand. I also love the sound of an inline-6 at full song. This project would be to build a quick, fun street car using an old school chassis thats relatively easy to find. This won't be a mega-horsepower track car. I want something in the low 13-second 1/4 mile area. That should let me hold my own against about anything on the street. I'm still just brainstorming and researching at this point. Any comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. |
Re: Possible future project
sounds cool but low 13s on the street and you will get eaten up by a good amount of cars, depending what is around where u live, i know where i live you would get spanked routinely
good idea tho i love the old zs too |
Re: Possible future project

Re: Possible future project
My buddy just put an RB25 in a 240 and ran a 12.8 with no mods at all.

Re: Possible future project
I prefer the 240/260 Z models, the 280Z / ZX cars just have a little too much factory bling on them. A clean 240 is a sweet smooth loooking car...

Re: Possible future project
that'll be one hell of a machine... I vote RB25... I should do one of those for my next racecar...
