Guest vvillium3 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I love the body he has on it. One of the smoothest I have ever seen without being too radical....Too bad I suck at body work, I would love to be able to buy something like that....

wigenOut-S30 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 right before he sold it the PO brought it to SEZS4. it was carbed with a T66 turbo and spraying. It was fast . I have a vid of him and James going down the track. Thanks for the link Ken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 So how can we track it down? Anyone know who owns it now? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 dosent it have a 4 barrel on it and 500 hp? I have always loved that car, i wonder why he sold it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Ken, I own it now. It is now Copper vice purple. The motor was a draw through older highly modified turbo-tom setup. It had a bigger 4 barrel carb and a much bigger turbo. It put 520 rwhp with only 20 some psi compression on #1 piston,(which I finished out). Sans nitrious it was high 300's. What a hoot to drive. I think at SEZ it ran a 11.6 at 132, with about a 2.3 60 foot time,(memory only) Some of the original pics are here: http://www.geocities.com/row4navy/rb26swap/72Datsun.html Interesting, I haven't been on this site for at least a few months and just stumbled on this thread. It is a very well built car to say the least - from brakes to suspension and of course the body work. In the pic you posted, those are 18x11 and 18x12 rims with slicks and the tires on the ground are 17x10's and 17x12's. Just a reference... I am currently taking a 4 week class out here in Point Magu California,(about an hour north of LA). I will be back home to VA in June and the car will be there mid June. It is sans motor right now and I keep going back and forth between the RB26 I have and a well built NA L6. I have no plans to put the old turbo motor back in. Sure it had phenomenal power over a very wide powerband, but I already had the RB and I love the sound of a NA L6. If you have any specific questions, fire away. -Bob Hanvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhadman Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Bob, What backspacing are you running on the CCW's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hey Bob, I sent you an email... Also, we're planning on going back to Sebring (Long Coarse) on 7/30... It would be great if you and anyone else who is interested could make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Gents, I've been busy with the Navy, or rather the Navy has been busy with me. Work-ups, Deployment, more work-ups, etc... I am only now finding some free time and a new house re-model is taking up that time... I can measure the backspacing when I get back, but you can find similar setups here. They are designed for coil-overs with minimum of clearance. I think Mike, (On3go) has the same backspacing. I want to say 4.5 inches, but that is purely memory. But it has been posted in threads on this site. Joe - you mean you bought a RB? Is it running? For anyone that wants to see the car, I live in Norfolk, VA, right next to Virginia Beach,(about 80 miles east of Richmond). Just shoot me an e-mail and we can work out a time. The car is worth the look - I'm still amazed every time I take a look at it. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hey bob! long time no talk to. anyways just wanted to say .... GO RB with that bad mammajamma! that car just diserves 350+rwhp easy! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
