    If you give a 240z an 84mm stroker crank and turbo kit it'll go over 300kph on the wangan. totally saw some documentary bout it

      Nah bud, it was an L28 twin turbo from the 280 zx, got swapped into the 240. I know the documentary you're talking about. Thing SCOOTED

      @@raiderjohn9407 funnily enough, it technically is a 280zx turbo F54 block and p90 head, but the crankshaft, pistons, rods, valves, and cam were not stock. It also used a custom twin turbo manifold used to blow thru triple nismo carbs. the 280zxt’s were a single turbo and ran efi, completely different. the original wangan midnight s30z was built by speed shop shinohara in japan, all of the info is online

    The Toyota 2000GT gave Japan a good reputation. The Z gave that experience to the common man.

    L28 block (bored and stroked to 3.1L), 124 connecting rods, p90 head, 1mm head gasket, 0.120 over bore,LD28 crank shaft, ka24 pistons for 8:92:1 compression ratio for turbo or L28et dish pistons for 11:80:1 compression ratio for na tune, with a 1.00mm fly cut.
    add a custom twin turbo exhaust manifold and triple weber DCOE40 carbs with custom barometric box and you have replicated the Devil z’s motor. All that’s left is to find a black RUF yellow bird and a silver MK4 Supra and race on the Wangan while trying to keep the car from killing you.

    The rubber diff mount is fine if you get one in good shape. But notch the corners of the bracket to make the bolts easier to access.
    The L28 engine rules, its stout, revs fast with a light flywheel, sounds amazing and is extremely simple. Put headers on it and a good set of carbs and be done.
    If you wanna save money and stop well do the "toyota swap" for the front brakes and the 300zx or 240sx swap for the rears. If Its a 240 put the 280zx master cylinder in place of the stock unit.
    You can do coilovers but putting in new shocks and cutting 1.5 - 2 loops out of some new springs is also extremely viable.
    There is zero side impact protection so consider a roll cage with door bars.
    Do all that and you can have a really solid datsun.

    The Z is most definitely responsible for the popularity of Japanese sports cars in the US. However the popularity for modifying and tuning them in the United States? That honor goes to the two and only DSM twins from Mitsubishi.

      The japanese models were also 6 cylinders- Albeit 2 liter 6 cylinders rather than 2.4s like the the US got.

    Why do you keep saying inline 4? It's weird also you keep talking about noisy, vibrating, leaky, veers ti the left. Mine isn't any of those. It sat 27 years and I spent a couple years replacing or refurbing the guts but it's hands down the most comfortable and nice drive I've ever had in a vintage car. Gas fumes, ya, some

      @nerdherd2604 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @SidewaysGts you have to do a conversion to get a suspension that's lower and typically but not always too stiff for these cars. Any s30 or s130 will porpoise uncontrollably on stiff suspension. The rear ends slide and kick too easily. The chassis needs a suitable amount of travel in its suspension.
