Project R280!!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

((sr)) kelly · 12-16-2007, 05:13 PM

we just got my fathers rb20det running perfect in his 280z.... im very excited that its able to drive. We have been working on this thing on and off for about half a year... mostly because of parts.
heres some pics
when he first bought the car.

The L28et just wasent working, so we thought of swapping a sr20 into it, but it would be kinda dumb to go from 6 cyl to 4 cyl, and the sound of the sr just wouldnt fit the car imo....

Rb20det TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

^^ would have beeb impossible to have the engine sit back that far without McKinney engine mounts.

Custom Dual pass PRC radiator.... took them 2 months to build this thing and get it to us.... UGHH

courtesy Nissan I/C pipes, and a SSAC fmic... it works[AUTOMATED GRAMMAR CHECK - too many periods were used, please re-edit your post to remove this message] had the only deminsions that would fit where it needed to go

the kinking of the rad hose has been attended to.... put a 45 degree elbow to lower the i/c piping.

finally cleaned up!

Hybrid Z members claimed that it was a simple drop in .... IT WASENT... you have to cut into the dash just to reach 1st, 3rd, and 5th without custom mounts.

we had the GTR 444cc and dropping resistor in, but the safc couldnt handle that kind of fuel increase, so we threw the stock injectors back in, and the safc in the trash were it belongs. HARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

and whats a car like this, without and exhaust like this....

sounds amazing

AND THOSE GAY STICKERS ON THE THE CAR ARE COMING OFF ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

silviaz · 12-16-2007, 08:57 PM

*Antihero983* · 12-16-2007, 09:49 PM

posi rep to you for a sick car with a great motor, and good choice on going RB for that matter!!

Wes_s13 · 12-16-2007, 10:36 PM

Wow....speechless!

sub9lulu · 12-17-2007, 09:49 AM

i loved that body style

*MELLO*SOS* · 12-17-2007, 10:08 AM

Very nice, I'm jealous. Did you guys replace timing belt and water pump, clutch, flywheel on the RB? Wats will look much better btw.

vvtisupra · 12-17-2007, 10:13 AM

wow speedoptions is still alive ?

ROUGE180 · 12-17-2007, 10:28 AM

((sr)) kelly · 12-17-2007, 11:25 AM

i cant wait to get those gay rims OFF!!!!! looking to get some wantanbes with a SICK offset

Citystars · 12-17-2007, 11:51 AM

Seriously though.. that car is fucking uber ill.

You post pics of interior, and a bunch more shots, yes you do.
: D

((sr)) kelly · 12-17-2007, 12:11 PM

the interior is far from finished.... we are going to be putting in some real nismo seats, and a dash sleeve... its a plastic mold that slides over the stock dash to cover cracks....

*ManoNegra* · 12-17-2007, 12:27 PM

Looks really clean, why not an RB25?

there is a problem with the DP hitting somewhere... i forgot.. its been over half a year since ive done my research.... the rb20 was cheaper, and it was a easier swap....

still sounds beast tho

illvialuver · 12-17-2007, 07:33 PM

wish my dad was that cool to have a similar car like i do and work on it with me, all he has is an old school amx a bitch for a new wife and debt

240love · 12-17-2007, 09:57 PM

that is awsome man...good job +rep

colexcore · 12-18-2007, 02:08 AM

very nice build. should of kept the stock 6 though. High comp builds on the stock motor are freaking amazing. They scream around the track.

((sr)) kelly · 12-18-2007, 11:24 AM

i hate the L28... i just dont like old technology....

the Rb series on a whole different level, and trust me... this Rb20 screams too... lol

we have the GTR 444cc injectors and resistor pack, but we are waiting to use these untill we can get a 2871r and a PFC.... the car should be interesting after that
