The Datsun thread >>> post the best datsuns u've evr seen...

Postby GarageFresh » September 14th, 2010, 3:49 am

So we all from Trinidad, and this is basically Nissan country... so to speak,

so wayyy back in the days there lived a company by the name of Datsun, which later in 1933 after Nissan Motor Co.Ltd. took control of DAT Motorcar Co. aka. Datsun...
and Nissan later phased out the Datsun brand in March 1986.

so we all know what is a 120y... a 180b... a 280c... a 720... a 910 bluebird
a 1200... a 1600.... 280zx.... etc... etc..

they've paved the way for an enormous international Datsun following,
and locally we've seen some very clean, tasteful & hot swapped Datsuns...

post the best Datsun pics you've ever seen either foreign or local...
New Zealand & Australia has loads of them...

so I'll kick it off>>> remember only Datsuns :D :wink:

Say hello to one of the toughest Nissan S30Z's I have ever seen. This dark red Z is owned by Kuni-san of Gunma Prefecture, and when I first spotted it at the spring Omega Cup event at Tsukuba Circuit I could not keep my eyes off it! After first drooling over the car's amazing stance, I began to notice the overall attention to detail on the car. While it's as functional as a track car can be, it is also nice enough to rival many of the show cars I see. The majority of the classic cars you see racing at the circuit are mostly original and the drivers are out simply for the fun of driving. This car is different. Every part of the car has been built for maximum performance, which has earned the car the nickname of "Battle S30Z".

Image

Out on the track, the car sings beautiful inline six music and moves with thrust that you wouldn't expect from a car over 30 years old. Although the car reaches very high speeds on the faster sections of the track, the car retains its clean lines without the use of a GT wing or other extreme aero parts. The car's minor body enhancements seem to work well enough.

Image

In the corners, the car's massive SSR Professor wheels wrapped in Advan A048's give the car all the grip it needs. To accommodate the large rubber, the car has been outfitted with a set of FRP fender flares. The doors and hood are also constructed of FRP for added weight savings.

Image

In this shot with the car loaded up on its transporter, you can see the upgraded brakes which were sourced from an FC3S Mazda RX7. Suspension wise, modifications include a custom damper set up from ZEAL and Nismo stabilizer bars.

Image

While most built up S30Z's are swapping over to turbo RB power, Kuni keeps things real with a fully built naturally aspirated L-series engine that has been stroked to 3.1 Liters. All of the engine internals have been replaced with high performance components, and induction comes from a set of Solex 50's. The exhaust system is one-off for this set up. In this photo you can also see the car's custom twin fan cooling system. The engine is mated to an R32 Skyline transmission with an OS Giken clutch. This set up dynoed at 337ps to the wheels at a recent power check gathering. That is well over 100hp per liter naturally aspirated!

Image

This photo taken during the car's build shows the custom 23 point roll cage that dominates the interior. During race days, the driver sits in a single Bride racing seat.

Image

Talk about a mean looking S30.

Image
:faint::faint::faint:

The car needs much more than the standard ZG flares to cover the giant rear wheels and tires.

Image

So how does it run?

The car's best lap time on the Ebisu Circuit west course is 1:04.801 and at Tsukuba Circuit it has an overall best of 1:02.911. Hey, that's not too far off from a stock R35 GT-R.

Not too bad for a classic non-turbo Z wouldn't you say?

^ that forkin win

Engine :IROC Z28 V8

240RoadRacer's 1971 Datsun 240Z 240RoadRacer's 1971 Datsun 240Z The body kit added over two inches per side and allowed the use of larger wheels and tires. I chose CCW wheels and had them custom made for my application. The front rims 11.5 with 305/30/18 Kuhmo V700 and the rears are 12.5 with 335/30/18's. The exhuast was built using 2.5 inch mandrel bent stainless steel tubing. It was cut, positioned, and Magnaflow cans were added before being tig welded. The fuel system uses a 22 gal. Fuel Safe bladder cell with roll over valves and one way vent system. A Sparco flush mount filler door was added above the tank.

240RoadRacer's 1971 Datsun 240Z The front end was a hard part of the build. The entire firewall and most of the trans tunnel was removed to set the engine back as far as possible. Using 1.625/ 0.83 wall chromoly tubing I built new strut perches and everything was reinforced, and triangulated for strength. The motor itself is a load bearing structure of the chassis as it is hard mounted the the frame via a motor plate. A power rack & pinion was used to assist with the big tires at lower speeds. It uses a remoted pump and has a ratio of 2.0 lock to lock. I went with an electric water pump, 100 amp PowerMaster alt. and a serpentine pulley conversion. The radiator sits far forward so stainless tubing was used.
