SOrry to keep poppin back and forth but.Here are the latest pics of the black Z. did i mention it was for sale??

I wasn't posting that GTO cause it was exactly the color of my Z it was just as a reference so people would know what year car i was talking about.

Its Mitsubishi red. the color the GTO had. the color code if i remember right is R38... its a stock color so it should be too hard to match i hope..

Got a couple hours in on the red car today. Getting closer to welding the 1/4s on. Look like the 31 inch tires may fit with this wheel combo. we will see. Not to sure i like how low it sits but we will see.

Nice rob keep on truckin

Man those front engine dragsters are scary!!! is that just a class spec or is there some reason you went with that vs a rear engine setup?

Trust me i wasn't making fun that the Z was faster the dragster will for sure be one fast mother Fer

Here is my rb20 pan for an rb26 had to beat out the area around the block pickup modified pickup... basically used some of the rb20, rb25 and rb26 pickup to make this one. One of the advantages of being in japan when doing this is there are scrap motors all over the place that you can get stuff like this really cheap. Front part of the pan had to be moved around a bit. This one hole i had to use a allen head bolt a standard 10mm bolt would not fit.

OK cleaned up lets keep it on topic.

funny thing is it's not as fast as his Z was ... YET

ROB have you posted your results for the dragster anywhere here?

No wonder i didnt see this.... moved

The engine formally known as the R.I.P.S. rb30 Z. Sorry if this is a repost somewhere??

you should check out the RIPS rb30 Z. Here is a site full of fast rb25/26/30 cars. http://www.fullboost.com.au/video.php

If your still struggling with the undercoating, I have heard that dry-ice makes getting that crap off a breeze. just pile it in freeze it all and it just breaks apart.

Damn you double bulbed him Nice runs that thing gets up and goes.

Hey i didn't say the rb 26 was the best swap i just said it makes any car its put in a better car ;>

i think anything with a RB26 swap is better then it originally was.

Agreed Unless you have access to lots of good used parts rotaries can become very expensive even if you build them on your own.

Got everything i need now just need a rt rear 1/4 window plastic piece. I have one but it was broke during my move in the area i.m not cutting ;>

I too like the FD body. I almost bought a shell while in alaska to put my motor in. there is video of that car on the dyno somewhere.

Start a thread on your buildup in this section and we can chat about it. Dont want to thread jack this one.
