*VID* Datsun 240z drift car.

Recommended Posts

The leader of Outbrake Motorsports and owner of this car, Derrick, has been building this car for a couple years now and last year he was able to get it out for the first time, right before the season ended. He had some trouble keeping the couplers on his intercooler piping but other than that it was a fuckin' hoss. He rebuilt an L28ET Z motor and put an R200 skyline rear end in it with the original 4 speed tranny.

 

Reason I thought I would share is because I saw Linc's thread about a Z and figured someone might find this pretty cool.

Was that his old car? or did he get his done like that. I remember he had one in his garage, but when I saw it, it was in the early build stages.

i think i will use a mildly built 2.8L with triple 44mm carbs.

or, an sr20.

 

if anyone wants one of these cars, i have 5 for sale.

well, maybe 4 if erik wants one.

What side-draft carbs do you plan on using if you go that route?

44mm mikunis with a short cannon manifold. 3-2-1 header. lots of port work on the head. f54 block, flat top pistons, n42 head. should be about 10:1. o, and some sort of mid range cam.

but first i need to get the damn thing painted, cough cough jelloman cough.

 

i want to get some 16x9.5 watanabes for it, but there about million dollars.

Mikuni's are nice as hell to work with but jets and etc are starting to get really hard to find.. I almost went with a pair of 44's on my corolla but I gave in and spent the extra for webers since they still make plenty of parts for them.

this guy is the us distributor. and he's a cool guy. smart as fuck too.

mine are used and have been sitting for awhile, missing the throttle linkage and just dirty as hell.

he quoted me 530 for a full rebuild, new shafts and any jets i want.

now i just to get them polished first, then send them off.

$530 bucks isn't too terribly bad, I picked up both my webers(2) for 850 new pre-jetted and etc, and a custom manifold for my car was about 100 bux. Since then I've spent about 100 dollars on jets just to get it running decent, but I suspect once I get it on the dyno there is MUCH more jetting to be done.

 

It's been a bunch of fun learning how to tune carbs because it's more or less a hobby that people these days aren't willing to learn. It's really satisfying when you can pop the hood, make a couple adjustments here and there that make a big difference while people watch in amazement. Kids these days are clueless, and I think carbs are cool as hell ;).
