240Z -- The GT240 Goes On the Dyno... (Part 2)

[ltlocus]

sac town ca? do you know sooki?

[AdamRW240]

Any plans to change to fuel injection?

[Colin415atyotube]

you could hear the difference after they changed the jets

[adambrian]

Is there anyway to contact you as to your conversion on the cv axles? I am about to go twin turbo with my 408 and know that the halfshafts I have are going to come apart. I would also like to talk to you about your build. Thanks Adam

[adambrian]

what rear diff are you using

[240roadracer]

@adambrian The diff is a modified R-200 with a Kaas 2 Way clutch center section and 3.90 gears, a Nismo finned cover with diff cooler provisions and the CV's are hybrid Porsche/ Skyline custom made units to adapt to the outer hubs.

[sohcsarewicked]

@240roadracer can you post up some new videos , also where do you buy the body kit? thanks

[TheGunslinger2001]

447whp in a 2,000lb car=Holy bat sh** crazy fast

[Duwop77]

POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO IS OUTSTANDING;)

[Tremac26]

now that's a project car. american horse power but with the right tuning....it should handle quite well.

[trulyawakened]

Hmm. I am not starting a debate but wouldnt a EFI v8 be more reliable for track use. I have plans for my 240 that should get me about 200lb lighter than this with almost as much hp but not as much torque lol. But aerodynamics and wieght will be a bit better on mine. But anyhow, would the efi be better? Someone who actually knows please chime in (no opinions, i want to hear from real racers)

[superjump01]

@trulyawakened "wouldnt a EFI v8 be more reliable for track use." That depends on what you mean by "track use". Nascar may very well be nothing but circles and car crashes but they still use carburetors, and most drag racers still use carbs as well.

[lonestarmetal]

think looks like a nascar sled from the front

[gav240z]

Are the vents in the fenders for brake cooling? Also are the wheels CCW and if so how much do they weigh? Great build man. Can't wait to see more of it.

[killdiqk]

shit is so morbid i love this car.

[l8er]

the guy that disliked this was probably the yellow vette driver that had to move away to make room for this beast. :D insane 240z! its a wide body right? (conversion)

[bryanswift10]

if only the nose wasnt soo long

[killdiqk]

@bryanswift10 shut up dude, this car is a work of art.

[revolutionzerox]

Love what you did with the Z man, keep up the work.. Looks like you're local, right on!

[Wildfish68]

I absolutely love this car. where can I find a tubular frame like this to start with.

[cooljess76]

Nice work man! I'm a BMW guy and I love the look and sound of your machine. I think you just inspired my next project.

[flyingphil1]

that is a sick car man.

[svdpsy]

Best Damn Z I ever saw. Apart from the "Datsun 240z concept" youtube movie it is the most beautifully proportioned custom Z ever made. All that needs to become a perfect deadly weapon on the street is a lick of black paint.

Datsun/Nissan should have gone this way with the Z like Porsche did with the 911, the shape is Classic all it needs to become modern are little tweaks over 30 years, yours is the final evo' GT3 RS, just give it some tasteful matt Blk & decals!

[Filipinoborn]

What engine is it??

[krazzyyo2]

paint this POS

[7570917]

i realllly want to know the exhaust specs, thank you

[MistahMofro]

What kind of over fenders are those? Definately wider than my s30's fenders

[HeWholsHim]

Turbochargers createshuge amounts of power out of waste.

Superchargers creates power, at the cost of the engine.

Superchargers acts like a leech, not letting the car reach maximum potential.

[HeWholsHim]

447HP... 2,200lbs... 4.9 HP per pound and the engine is still N/A, easily 6-700 HP if he throws in a giant turbo, if not higher.

447HP for 2200lbs is like 600+ for a little honda civic, when there is no weight holding the engine back, the car is actually faster than it seems.

500HP 3300lb car vs 500HP 2200 car, the light one will always win, even if both run the same HP on the dyno.

[lotusboy24]

What size rims and tires u runnin man?

[TeginProgress]

ffs people make classic z's so ugly.. its called originality folks.

[MrRobGT]

I would trade my stang for this car. Nice car Jay! Love the body work!

[rhynowyteboi]

did he say nascar truck valve train? i would love to know wut all is in the motor and wut size it is lol

[tmx51]

What are the tail lights from?

[TheOmegaeyes]

gotta love a 240 when they're done this way! Dosen't get much more baddass then that!

[ahyahyahy]

(*@# that is awesome.. maaan... you've fulfilled my car build dream ;) Exactly what I want to do with my more modern 240sx ;)

[gav240z]

Supercharge, don't turbocharge. I want to hear that whistle with the lumpy cam in it ;).

[twistymcslide]

turbo is adjustable on the fly , its not parasitic, and ison the exhaust side , so if it fails , theres way less damage than if you get somethign through the intake. superchargers are for drag , i appreciate the instant responce, thats about it. and you get the cam sounds from the cam , not the induction .

[007johnie]

ive seen that truck at 0:06. i was trying to chase it to get a better look at it. that shit is bad. i would love to have one of those

[khmerpimpin]

is that the 280yz kit from reaction research? and do you happen to have a part number for that fuel cell? seems to fit nicely in the back.

[algomez2007]

Overkill my azz. It's just perfect!

[powerbroker3000]

Is this for sale?

[haze1123]

I think Jay's ultimate plan is to turbocharge this...

[figifister]

turbocharge it! its got alot just the way it is haha i would like to see a turbo set up on it but its sick!

[101boost]

@haze1123 blow through, or fuel inject it? If he boost it..

[darkevildrifter]

what size are those wheels?

they look overkill for the amount of power you are putting down, any plans to supercharge or future power upgrades? car looks sick, unpainted, I can just imagine with nice paint. will be the nicest 240z Iv' ever seen.

[haze1123]

The rims are made by a company called CCW (Complete Custom Wheel). They are a true 3-piece, light weight design and are 18 x 11.5 front and 18 x 12.5 rear.

[k9forkids]

Overkill? I'm guessing thats your professional opinion. This guy cant even keep traction with the wheels he's got. He is pushing 520-550hp at the crank, how is that overkill...thats more power than Z06 at 2500lbs.

[seb280z]

Just perfect! There's no better way to describe your car! I love it! I wish my 280z will be somewhere close to what you have when it's running again..

thank you for sharing!

[turbo280z]

That body kit is so bad ass! sounds great. Wheels look kick ass.

[etd1tmo]

And a little Iron Maiden to boot! What an excellent ending to a great video. ROCK ON!!!

[TheGrid23]

That's a sick car. Nice work, dude.
