OlderThanMe Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 that is no 2.4...maybe a L20A or SR20 or even smaller. Pretty cool sounding for that small of a motor. Love the diffuser. *edit The Spoiler on that thing is saweet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Looks like somebody was reading our S30 drawing thread...It sounded supercharged towards the end of the run, you could hear a whistle, but it didn't really sound turbo. I like the exhaust blowing out from the rear tire there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfawke Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 link to pics here Found this about the car, posted in March this year - "The car is currently running in the Gurston down hillclimb championship in the over 2000cc Marque sports class. The turbo set up that Janspeed were tyring to develope was never succesful and did not compete in a race. They always raced the car with a normally aspirated engine. The engine set up now is 3.1ltr dry sumped on throttle slide with individual injectors in the trumpets. Distributorless ignition with individual coils on the plugs. Fully mappable and programable engine management with data logging, traction control and launch control. Running through a twin plate clutch on a lightened non nissan flywheel to a 5 speed close ratio straight cut dog gearbox with interchangable ratios shoe horned into a RS240 casing( with the addition of some creative aluminium welding to make the casing larger to take the larger internals), through a non nissan prop ( I broke 3 nissan props) to a 3.1 limited slip diff. Power and torque figures are enough to put a big grin on any drivers face. Tryes are 10 inch and 11 inch wide hillclimb slicks. Brakes are 4 pot lockheed race calipers all round on 11 inch discs operated by twin master cylinders and no servo. Clutch is operated by master cylinder mounted on the pedal box inside the car and then concentric slave cylinder in the bell housing. Body has full roll cage welded into shell incorperateing rear and front suspension turrets and cross door bars. Body kit is lightwieght glass fibre and aluminium. Additional devices have been added to the car to take in the advances in aerodynamics made since the car was built in 1971/2. Current race wieght is under 1000kg with contentedly fed driver."

big-phil Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks for the info! That car has sooo much done to it. Look at the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Check out the gills by the battery tray area, and the louvers near the cowl. They weren't kidding when they said it has some aero mods. And yet it doesn't have sideskirts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 awesome find. it sounds like it's supercharged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It says """Datsun 240Z 3.1 ltr""" on the front windshield... ITB, dry sump, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Looks fast but if its n/a then at most it has 300hp most likely 220-250hp. In a 2300lb car that is a high 12. I would love to see this on the track though. That is where it would shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.INSANE Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow I creamed myself over that Motor very nice setup and pretty damn fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Intresting motor mount set up. Looks to me like its only using one of the two ears on the motor mount. Its also set back almost touching the firewall.... nice!! Sounds beastly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Is that 200mph tape on the hood extension, or is that a hinge of some kind? Also, what's the story with that little can that the upper radiator hose runs to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boodlefoof Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I believe the sound you're hearing is the sound from the transmission. That is what a sequential shift transmission with straight cut gears sounds like. It is music to my ears personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 definitely a sweet car overall but those rear flares are hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 that motor mount is sort of scary...and ghetto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Nice car. Needs more areo work on the front. Notice how the hood bulges up on the sides & in the front at speed. Check at 1:15 - 1:17 in clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
