RIPS 240z RB30 mild pull on road, 16psi 7000rpm limiter

[Typhlosion100]

What kind of turbo?

[MetalheadEchidna]

man if i ever got enough money i swear i would grab a 240sx hatch or a 240z and throw an RB30 in it, the motor just sounds so evil

[skidpiggy]

good old vl rb30 motor still good technology even though there from the 80's

[h8sht]

why is it in New Zealand that we chuck RB's, JZ's, EJ's and Rotary's into everything and fully wanking em out doing everything and anything inside and out just to make that "HOLY FUCK" factor even just looking at them in pictures, vid's ect?..... KIWI Motorsport and Engineering <3 How Crazy We Just Are Just Amazes Me.

[vrednie]

@h8sht Yeah, you and the rest of the world, Champ

[RCorbzz]

You might want to convert to manual, will stop hitting limiter if you change gears yourself lol

[kiwi11289]

@RCorbzz lol you might wanna be nzs rb30det specialist before u say stupid shit about a drag car? duh its auto. you stupid cunt

[RCorbzz]

@kiwi11289 Did you read what i said? I said he might want to change it from auto to manual therefore i knew it was auto? I don't understand your rant... i don't think anyone can.

[TaffeyBalls]

how much would you charge to build me an rb30 like that?

[RIPSNZ]

@TaffeyBalls The engine in the 240z is about nzd50k to reproduce.

[MrRotormaster1]

Haha! that reminds me of driving the RB26 240Z on ForzaMotorsport 3. Although this thing is faster when it is actually trying. On the game, the 240 weighs about 890 kg, and has more or less 1100 hp. With AWD launches it spins all 4 until second! :-) You must run AWD, RWD simply does not work unless you don't want to go anywhere.

[RIPSNZ]

@MrRotormaster1 In real life this car runs great in RWD, runs 7s on the 1/4, check my other vids.

[jhaze918]

@MrRotormaster1 forza is an awesome game...for the simple fact you can swap motors lol

[teedot]

@MrRotormaster1 A video game is not real life.....

[streetoutlawz09]

right saw the car on the otherside.. haha my bad. didnt mean to "ruffle everyone's knickers"

[alexoprel]

lol a gentle run xD i lol'd

[streetoutlawz09]

your driving on the wrong side of the road.. that's just dangerous..

[mk8813]

@streetoutlawz09

you are fucking stupid.

[streetoutlawz09]

@mk8813

sarcasm smartass.

[thenikoxgtr]

@streetoutlawz09 OH god , you need help ......

[flipya101]

8 sec on street trim? what power u running? i ahve skyline 30 block lots of work (look at vid =} ) 370rwkw and just under 1000nm, and i'd get mid 10's on street trim

[JuicedJetta]

now go back up the hill

[RIPSNZ]

Your right, that was down hill, just happened to be a suitable spot for a quick squirt. Don't worry, there's plenty of torque for hills, in fact it could probably wheelie up it with the bars set right, lol.

[AkeemWalters]

why was the limiter set to 7,000 rpm?

[RIPSNZ]

It was a brand new car/motor at the time and it was the first gentle test drive, its since done 7.8 @ 177 mph on the 1/4.

[rajiv360]

@AkeemWalters prob cuz if he went any further he would have hit fuel cut off

[d1havok]

[MonkiMajyk]

i'm more than sure you do...

it's okay. i'll settle for shining your shoes..

[trillakilla]

auto?

[shift444]

what do u get up to in first?

my father had a firebird that did 60 miles/hr in first

[RIPSNZ]

1st gear gets me nearly 60mph and the 60mph comes up in 1.9 seconds.

[shift444]

what kind of box and setup r u using?

[RIPSNZ]

T400. it sounds like a 4 speed because of some wheelspin hitting the rev limiter, I pedal it, it grabs then runs up onto the limiter again, then I shift.

[krew126]

When you say gentle run with 3psi off the transbrake, do you mean you launched the car at 3psi and after you launched the turbo was at 16psi?

[RIPSNZ]

Yeah, 3 psi when stationary was the most we could get out of it at that stage, then you can hear the boost come in shortly after it starts rolling and was at a max of 16psi from then on.

We now run 15-20psi off the line and up to 25psi for the run, still havn't used the NOS during a run and have a best to date of 9.06 @ 152mph on treaded street tyres, check my other vids

[krew126]

Lol, I was gonna say if that was 3 psi... but of course it wasn't. Oh, and I saw your other videos, and saw that the car does a wheelie off the start. Could it run faster if the wheelie bar made more contact with the ground, and possibly put you in the 8's?

[krew126]

Nevermind, I saw the 9.07 run, is there any way you could run more boost maybe, or get drag radials?

[RIPSNZ]

The 9.06 was done on a treaded street tyre, full exhaust, mufflers etc and with a stuffed trans. The trans is now fixed and the goal is to get well into the 8s in full street trim, then go to a decent tyre and wind the motor up. We are running this Saturday so all going well we should get the 8

[krew126]

Sounds realy good, you should do an in car video!! That would be the best, anyways can't wait to see it.

[Zedman260]

Could you get out of the seat after that? hehe run on the strip yet? I'd expect around 10 sec? Great Zed!!

[RIPSNZ]

just ran a 9.0 @ 152 in full street trim on treaded street tyres, check my other vids

[RIPSNZ]

Best of 8.71 @ 162mph, check other vids

[caprimentle]

what 8.71, i asume you mean a quarter in which case is very impressive if actually true.

[RIPSNZ]

IT did 8.71 in full street trim on treaded street tyres, full interior, full exhaust etc, since then its done 8.22 @ 168mph,  check my other vids there's lots there showing it all :-)

[caprimentle]

bloody hell, that is one unbelievable amazing machine, great respect to the engine builder and driver, well done.

[zavatone]

That's insane man. I used to own 2 Datsun 240zs. One was even manufactured in 1969, Serial # LM000327. You're around Rotarua? Lovely place.

[skiddin31]

8.71 is tru its a rb30det the dude specializes in rb30s its a monster.

[naztech]

i second that

[joel70605soileau]

WOW !! Thats sounds brutal...
