240z w/ skyline swap racing at fontana

[TheMunchkinKid965]

240 SZ with a american v8?FAIL

[mikhailSRT4]

v8 would have been sweet. these little out dated 6 arent that great. if this is a rd20 motor that is ive seen em at 450 hp just simply blow up at the track

[ralatorre9]

@mikhailSRT4 most def. the stock ls1 on stock z suspension like this with stock z tires will give you a low 11 sec car. throw some bolt ons the ls1.. HOLD ON!

No engine explosion required. haha

[DragRB]

What RB Engine did your friend use?

[Poohbify]

@DragRB RB26DETT im guessing.

[dbzboxer]

ya shuda put an ls1 oh well lol sweet ride

[UnitedStatesOfSpange]

[Litoaznboi415]

dude that was freeken awesome!!!

[Skimask619]

I think this one was featured in Modified magazine.

[Tsubarux]

what ever mr @bboychoc loser Datsun whip the trucks tell pipe

[redgateproductions]

I live in fontana

[videosps]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!! love nissan! ppl that have a v8 in a nissan let me know give me ur phone number and address so i can murder you, and then take that v8 out of the car

[xgrapher]

@videosps "take the v8 out" and what? put it in your own Nissan??? 240z was built for V8's and you haters need to admit it

[videosps]

@xgrapher trucks were made for v8s not race cars. if u ganna do it big do it right do a v12 and 4x4. not all the bullshit v8s cars u see today. now datsun/nissan is insulted by puttin ur american made v8s into a japanese beauty. keep ur v8s in chevys and fords.

[gotmatt2]

@videosps first of all, this isn't a race car. Second, tell that to F1, Indy, Nascar and all the manufacturers who use them in supercars. It isn't the number of cylinders that make the engine good. The best thing that could happen to this car is an ls3.

[Hype679]

@videosps Actually, most of the toughest road and track cars are v8s. Most car companies will tell you. Although v10 and v12s are powerful in their own way, the reason v8s have stayed popular is because of their near bulletproof design. It's not like I hear of many v12 cars getting 300K miles and still rolling daily. Also, I'd rather throw a rod in a hopped up datsun or something else cheap, unlike a lambo, which costs as much as a house.

[280zx4life]

@xgrapher no they weren't fuckin moron

[Brendon00000]

@SidneyAve, Flat black I have a friend with one just like it

[SidneyAve]

what color would you call that?

[xgrapher]

All that drama and that 57 truck massacred it

[donttakeoffense88]

@xgrapher ....280 had a 10.3 truck had a 10.8 wtf are you talking about?

[280zx4life]

@xgrapher no it didn't. it was slower...

[originaldriver]

Where the hell did you hear that the LS is prone to "oil pump failure" from turbocharging??? LS-v8 DOESN'T regularly experience oil pump failure as result of turbo-charging. Oil supply to the mains and cam only become an issue at high rpms (7500 and up). A well designed turbo-system on an LS will produce power from 3500 and up without the need to spin the motor beyond 7000 unless its been built for it. Turbocharging doesn't place a significant burden on the oiling system

Quit making up stuff

[marlo916]

truck was faster

[moretorque]

i watched this video 3 times

[JermFoster]

nice 240 but wtf was in that truck, looks like alot of juice

[markzbresenio]

im thinking about getting an rb swap but i live in california do any of you guys know where can i get a magic smog?? to make it pass??

[nightmathzombieethan]

@markzbresenio LOL Lemme know if you have any luck!

[idusclothing]

@markzbresenio Register it as a diesel somehow... (motor swap)

or just buy a 75 or older.

[charock25]

i love it and i hate v8 on japs come on guys real fun with v8 engine on japanese car? never

[elomni87]

thx for staying with a jap motor..hate when they put v8...

[ralatorre9]

@elomni87 why? a fraction of the cost when they drop in a stock ls1 and runs high 11s XD

[elomni87]

@ralatorre9 if they wanna use a muscle engine then stay with a muscle car.. im all jdm i dont believe in mixing an import with muscle car. k its like saying imma put a rb26 in oldass shelby body.. i know a shit load of muscle car owners would hate that combo.. and they'll say the samething.cuz all they do is talk shit bout tunner cars.

[originaldriver]

@elomni87 Theres no reason to "hate" a mustang with a RB26 in it. Hell, youll end up with a spectacular and unique car.... Well, that is until the RB motors grenades itself at some point, THEN youll see why more people opt for GM ls motors for motor-swaps.

Just stating the facts bro.

[tpersing88]

@originaldriver Actually, this was caused by oil starvation from running a factory oil pump and increased power, something that regularly happens with LS motors when you add boost. Its physics, not who makes the motor.

[axelexele]

@elomni87 jap build v8 motors too...

[originaldriver]

@elomni87 If he had put in a GM ls v8, then the motor would have not exploded at the end of the track. (hence the reason that so many people now swap those v8's you seem to "hate" so much) :)

[xgrapher]

@elomni87 you only hate them cuz they last; unlike them jap POS's

[gotmatt2]

@elomni87 and yet the jap motor blew. If he had put in a v8 it would still be running and had gone quicker.

[280zx4life]

@gotmatt2 nope.

[gotmatt2]

@280zx4life except it's true

[280zx4life]

@gotmatt2 nope.

[gotmatt2]

@280zx4life yep

[DFxWoLvEz]

@elomni87 true that, im buying one for $700 near me, sur ei have to restore it though but im debating on a RB26 swap or a 2jz swap

[elomni87]

@DFxWoLvEz  thats cool man. well what ever choice u make between those 2 it sure will be a good one.

[ModfreakGTR]

@DFxWoLvEz

I have owned rb20's 26's 1j'z 2j'z ect... and depending on what you want out of the car I would go jz they can take a lot of abuse i would never own another 26 I made 420whp out of my rb20 without spray never did a dyno pull with spray but it would have been close to 600whp on the stock motor even head gasket yes it would blow up from 5ish months of hard abuse but it was a 3-500 dollar motor so i would just swap it out and put all my toys on the new one.

[ModfreakGTR]

@ModfreakGTR The 26 is expensive and doesn't do to well from my experience when making decent power sure it can be a good motor if you through a bunch of cash at it.



[EddyKicksAss]

@elomni87 What's wrong with V8s?

[CallMeDChau]

@EddyKicksAss The normal V8's people put in them are America Engines(Chevy).

[EddyKicksAss]

@CallMeDChau Yeah, but what's wrong with them?

[slammedandshiny]

@EddyKicksAss theyre kinda heavy and mess with the handling of the car. that and alot of people feel like putting an engine from a different manufacturer is wrong. especially american engines for some reason. i agree in alot of cases.

[PREDEX2000]

@slammedandshiny I want to believe the engines you are referring to are older/iron block v8 engines, since Chevyrolet's LSX motor for example is lighter than a ka24 engine, with more power, and enough torque to pull a train, add intake/exhaust and you are looking at 450 hp to the wheels, every day all day in pump gas with absolute reliability, and I imagine the L28ET must be quite heavier than an aluminium block v8

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

@PREDEX2000 What's even sadder is a 350 cubic inch Small Block Chevrolet is slightly lighter than the N47 block, N42 head in a 280z.

[Goncalves15]

@elomni87 what if he put in a japanese V8

[elomni87]

@Goncalves15 yes ok i agree with that.. just dont like when they put american v8 cuz alot of americans talk shit about imports thats why..

[flowtak]

@elomni87 You are not helping the debate from ending by talking shit about the people who are trying to close the gap and bring the two together. Be happy some people can find a happy medium.

[LOLHICRONO]

@elomni87 what about a japanese v8?

[chaivangster]

@LOLHICRONO The new japanese v8 called the nissan ak 47 v8 XD

[gompie250]

@LOLHICRONO thats just wrong XD

[ItsMrWinters]

@elomni87 vk56 bro

[brapboys503]

@elomni87 Why? It's fast, reliable power over here in the States. Although I have owned a couple cool Datsuns. One was a 210 coupe with an FJ20DE warmed-over race motor. It cranked to 9,500 rpm and was sickeningly fast on the high-speed and mid-speed corners, but failed and spun a lot on the hairpins due to the fact that most of the weight was in the back.

[z33twinturbo]

wow, now that's a damn good driver. Fuck. Serious props.

[marcus11619]

@bboychoc

i agree!

[chiwasR]

pocket rocket

[bohdanko90]

very nice car man! any idea on the weight with the rb?

[Omega47]

I miss the old layout.

[TristanGTR]

that sumbich is pretty!

[wickedstitch1]

thought about doing the same swap with mine, drop pretty much anything in these.

[RFucknBNZ]

ripsltd.com for a new engine:D

[xSinsRejectsx]

That was a nice skyline too. Damn such potential gone to waste. Oh nvm he won. Its all good. It wasn't a waste. As long as you win right? Hahaha

[bboychoc]

that truck was f'n fast too.

[TheBoostDoctor]

@bboychoc ya it is. The truck beat the z even though something happened to the truck sounded like the throttle stop wasn't working right

[sqweekyknee]

wow. what kind of camera was this taken with?!?!?!

[vietznamese]

aww

engine exploded?

:(

that sucks

does that mean u gotta get a new one cause like it melted or something?

[TheGavinch]

@vietznamese It means somethin broke on the inside, and yes, he needs a new one

[Turbochargesi]

@TheGavinch It doesn't mean he needs a new one, he can just rebuilt the same one.

[TheGavinch]

@Turbochargesi Unless the block got hurt, I think

[Turbochargesi]

@TheGavinch True, if the block got cracked or something, but he still doesn't need a whole new engine though, cause you can still keep most of it which I doubt got missed up, either way, were both right =)

[TheGavinch]

@Turbochargesi Good enough for me :)

[nismoknightsOG]

nice ride seemed to at had bogged a little tho and why is the mph low did you let off at the end? love your car keep up the good work.

[fungie101]

@nismoknightsOG He blew up his engine at the end of the run right before he finished which is why it was slow

[theARMONexchange]

love how the truck managed to keep up...lol

[BlueonGoldZ]

Wow! Awesome car!

[Renpopo]

what camera are you using?

[NinevehMetalChannel]

That truck was bad ass to. Wasn't expecting it to be so fast. Nice build.

[bigjake352]

very nice Z, truck was faster than i thought it was gonna be. how much do you have in this RB conversion? is it rb25?
