V8Datto Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Cars a long way from paint yet, still have to decide on an engine. The V8 idea is out the window. Probably go RB but I have to install and engineer, finish the shell decide on a color, body work, the list gos on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jk_zeder Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 What sort of price are they asking though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 What sort of price are they asking though? truck loads I bet - but if he adds up all the labour in this project it would be small in comparison - if you were charging out for that level of a rebuild.

V8Datto Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm open to options, has to be very very reliable and about 350-400hp @ flywheel (power spread through rev range, I don't want 400hp at 9000rpm and nothing at 3000rpm) Standard 2400cc L6 is out because of reliability at power level Im after (And I don't own one) I own a Lexus V8 (4000cc) but It's out because It would need forced induction for the power and that makes it too big for the rules RB25det is right size, power and would still be reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You can get 350-400 flywheel HP from L6 in NA form and reliable too. Take 30% losses so that is 245HP to 280HP at the wheels. There are number of engines I have seen, owned, that make this HP at the wheels from L6 in NA form, some EFI throttle bodies, other on carbs. One engine I know is 4 race season old with no issues. I am sure Pete Mc can assist with your power goals from any engine of your choice. I thought others on this had done the numbers on the new rules and a 3.2 super charged engine just fits - so then a 3.0 turbo should fit too?

V8Datto Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Finding info on allowed engine conversion's is next to impossible, when I'm ready I'll let the engineer answer the questions. Not interested in the L6, I want to drive the thing not work on it More pic's. Still in the trial fit and test phase Using panels off other cars is always very handy to check measurements. Just in case mines not 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeWit Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Awsome job on the build mate, i should have done that to begin with myself, but 5 years to build it was enough without adding another 2 for panel. In regards to an engineers, i have been talking to a few different ones. I went down the RB25turbo route, With an RB30 bottom end with very similar numbers in the garage. Its worth talking to a few different engineers, they all have different interpretations of the rules. As of the 1st of February this year you even need an engineers for club rego. VIC roads is closing all the holes, but gives you some outs. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf As far as i can tell you just need an engineers to prove the car is safe for a "Street Rod" http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/PermitsModificationsAndDefects/OtherPermits/ClubPermits.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted July 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2015 So.... any updates on this build? Just went through all your photos which was helpful in terms of seeing how everything is welded together on an S30z and couldn't resist bumping this up for people who may not have seen it.

V8Datto Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Well I've moved house and have no room to work on the car ATM, Well heaps of room but no shed. Looked at an RB26 a while back, parts alone was worth it but engine could not be tested, not sure on previous history either. S30 shell is back together so a few more pic than is on here but not many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
