Hi Lads,

 

Just wanted to say hi from Adelaide name is Vlad!! I don't have a Z yet but I will next year, I own an EVO9 and Type R Civic.. At the moment I am doing a research and trying to learn as much possible about 240's before I set of building one!! I apologise in advance for some noob questions I will be asking but I suppose you have to in order to learn..

Welcome Vlad.

Most questions are already answered here.

Just remember, the search feature is your friend.

 

What's your plan? L series, carb'd or EFI, RB ITB or turbo, V8?

What use? Racing, street, cruiser?

Body mods? Flared, carbon, period?

 

Oh the choices! 

[Thor-240Z]

Yea I have been reading a bit about them plus I have this nut ball of a mate that somehow always suckers me back into Nissan's RBZ 260 love you man

 

L series, carb'd or EFI, RB ITB or turbo, V8? Well I know I will get scrutinised here but it will be RB25DET, I have been thinking of SR20DET but sweat sound of RB is just too overwhelming

 

What use racing, street, cruiser? It will be a street cruiser no track work for this car I just want it to look good, be reliable, have power and be legal. Therefore I will get it engineered I know it will cost more but it will save me a lot down the track as the cops in Adl look for any excuse to pull you of the road..

 

Body mods flared, carbon, period? Body I want it to look JDM with flares, front lip, boot spoiler and those sexy sexy guard mirrors I just fell in love with that look!!! As for the interior I want everything to be standard I just love that old retro style inside the cabin nice and clean

And there's me thinking ive taught  him all about z's 

 

At least I managed to get you to the dark side where real cars are.

 

Hope you ready for the journey to the center of empty pockets

 

Guys keep an eye on Vlad he's notorious for spending big so whatever z he gets his hands on sure will be a monster.

Why don't you sell him one of your Z's Johnny??..since you have a whole stable of them

[Retro Z]

By the way Welcome Vlad. If you need any assistance dont hesitate to ask or send me a PM im glad to help. You may want to check out Hybrid Z forums if you havent already.

 

Good to see another person like myself who has or is going from late model jap cars to classics. Ive come from gtr's and many other late models but have now got a 240z and love it. Once you go old skool you wont go back.

[Thor-240Z]

LOL Jonny you thought me more than enough but there is always room for more knowledge

 

Retro Z well mate I am stealing Jonnys white one we made a deal and shook on it hands obviously

 

I know what you mean, I remember Jonnys blue one gee that thing got more attention than Miranda Kerr naked on the beach!! I will check that website too thanx man I haven't seen it yet!! I have been busy trolling through other peoples builds on here just looking at what they done and how they went about!!

 

R34 GTR has always been high of my list and down the track it will probably end up in my garage but till than Z is on my No1 spot!! Once that is done EVO6.5TMR will be built for the track, I already have complete 2.3L stroker for it which was originally intended to go into my IX but one look at that orange Zed on Jonny's phone threw all my plans down the drain (bastard ) so EVO will have to wait!!! For Now

Welcome Vlad,

I used to own an Evo 8 and loved it! Great car in every way; but still own the zed after I sold the Evo. Hope we can help in any way..

[RBZ 260]

Why don't you sell him one of your Z's Johnny??..since you have a whole stable of them

 

 

No no my precious Z's mine mine all mine

My precious 

 

Lol

 

Well it all started from Vlad checking the latest z i got and progress on musty.

 

Question poped up: "so what u doing with the white one?"

 

Reply was: either wrecking it, get it running with L and sell it or rebuild it and install a sr20det.

 

After mentioning rebuild and sr20det conversion Vlad's eyes lit up.

 

Now cannot get rid of him lol.  Nah hes good.

 

At this stage its homework time for him and decision making.

 

Working out the most economical way for him to get his car build to his specs.

 

 

[Thor-240Z]

Thanx for making me wellcome boys yea I got a few ideas on board at the moment how to do some stuff bit more economically.. More time Johnny and I invest into thinking the build will tend to go bit more smoother, not the first car I modded so I am still expecting a lot of hickups along the way and brain busting but we'll get there!!!

 

Bro that car is mine and you know it but at least it stays in our family and you get to see it all the time and if you really really good you get to drive it once a year maybe!!!

 

Welcome Vlad,

I used to own an Evo 8 and loved it! Great car in every way; but still own the zed after I sold the Evo. Hope we can help in any way..

 

Yea man so easy to get power out of them at the moment I am running E85 and pushing 270kw atw, damn EVO's they get under you skin easy!!! I used to have an STi too but EVO is just on the next level!!

 

From little things big things grow!

Hope not mate but knowing my crazy head I'll probably end up with something that's pushing big power, once you get the taste of it you just won't go back!!!
