Nissan ZR200

[onebadm5]

i was talkin to my datsun friend, he has a '71 240Z with a 350, and he was tellin me about the ZR200, a Z31 chassis built in japan with an RB20DET. he explained that any RB series motor will fit in the Z31, so why not drop in an RB25 or 26 in a Z31 and make it haul ass with out a lot of fabbing?

any thoughts welcome.

Well the stock bottom end of the VG is said to be good to over 500hp, so it's not like there is a power advantage to swapping in an RB. Plus VG parts are a dime a dozen, so a few sacrifices can be made in the pursuit of power, where as with a semi exotic RB you have to be more conservative.

I am doing a RB20DET into a 71 240z. &nbsp;It is one of the guys in my Club. (Velocity Cali.) &nbsp;After talking to a couple of guys in Japan and Aus. &nbsp;they said we should get about 350hp out of it with simple upgrades. (Timing, fuel pressure, and Turbo off a RB25det)

So watch out for any 240z's running around in SOCAL..

Hey Grumpy, I might be getting my hands on a mid to late 70's 280Z and want to put a RB25DET in it if I get it. &nbsp;Is there alot of custom fab involved, and what are you using for fuel management? &nbsp;Are you going to the San Diego meet this weekend? I will be there so maybe we can talk then. &nbsp;Also how much would you sell me an RB25DET for if I can pick it up from your shop?

[Grumpy]

There is not alot of Fab. work as far as I can see. &nbsp;The car is coming in next week for the transplant. &nbsp;

We are using the stock ECU and stuff. &nbsp;Easier and cheaper for the owner. &nbsp;Plus, &nbsp;we talked to alot of guys in Aus. &nbsp;and they said it is really easy to tune and get good HP......

I'll be down there this weekend. &nbsp;I'll be driving a 240sx...... &nbsp;heheheheh &nbsp;no really.... &nbsp;I'll be there so we'll talk more later....
