The Nissan 240RS would have been a sure WRC winner if only NISMO had taken the bold step to Turbocharge the car.

It probably would have been a winner but their gearbox’s and rear axles couldn’t keep up with the normally aspirated engine as it were. 🎉

My first car was an 82 s110 200sx with the Z22E. I wish I had never sold it. Great video! I never knew how much potential my old datsun had.

The Nissan 240RS was a very simple but efficient rally car. Unfortunately it was introduced when the competition was quite strong. It's Japanese contemporary,the Toyota Celica twin cam turbo wiped the floor with the 240RS. The Opel Manta 400 also walloped the 240RS senseless in most rallies. When the history of the 240RS is written however,six world rally championship drivers must be mentioned as indeed,they put the model on the world map of rallying. These six drivers exploited the utmost from the 240RS' FJ24 engine. The car was hopelessly outclassed by the two wheel drive opposition. The six heroic drivers who put the Nissan 240RS on the world rallying pedestal were,Shekhar Mehta(Kenya),Alain Ambrosino(Ivory Coast/France),Timo Salonnen(Finland),Mike Kirkland(Kenya),Tchine(Monaco),Jayant Shah(Kenya). No other WRC driver at the time delivered better results driving a 240RS than these six drivers.

When we ran these things, the lads often referred to them as Morris Oxfords - they had a steering box for God's sake. And the drive from the crank to the cams was just weird.

The 240RS was RWD, but raced against other Group B AWD cars like the Quattro.

For the 2WD adventure, only the Toyota Celica spoilt the 240RS's outing! Was a truly phenomenon Rally Raid Kit....might've come a little late into the fray in 1984 when the Quattro was simply on song!

I have a little miniature model, the #12 driven by J. Shah and A. Khan. They were unfortunately a little too late. The predecessor, Datsun 510 won the safari rally 4 times (79-82).

You are wrong Sir,the Datsun 510 AKA 1600sss won the East African Safari Rally only once and that was in 1970. The 160J PA10 won from 1979 - 1981 and the Violet GT won in 1982.

tom lepski. They are all name variations of the same car afaik, so calling me wrong is bit of a stretch.

@daniaquino8561 5 жыл бұрын

You're right praggoz, they arrived to late to the WRC...and the 160J, wow, an amazing car! My father had one (street version with L series engine) when I was a kid in the mid 80's and was so fun drive
