Thee perfect Z by far. It’s exactly how I would build one. Tastefully done no big flares or widebody. Speed is not everything because there’s always someone faster. I’ve owned a 240 and 260 and yes stock they are very underwhelming 😆. I did a 5.0 swap on mine back in the late 90’s from an 89 mustang with 5 speed and that made it really fun. Beautiful car, tasteful build and great video as usual 🤙🏼

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yesss!!

[@rt2255]

They are so light i would never put heavy v8 8n one stay true inline 6 turbo can make as much power as small block and lighter. As not to fuck up balance and handling, v8 makes it to front heavy kills whole point of sports car handling.

[@mitchkelleher7972]

@@rt2255 RB26 is about 550 lbs, a couple hundred more than the original L24. An ancient 5.0 HO is around 500 lbs or less, and an LS3 somewhere around 430 lbs. Cast iron I6s (with turbos) aren't light.

The oval type portion of the exhaust , seems like a DUH why didn't I think of type moment. Imagine the room and clearance vehicles can have , question is, how functional is it ?? very curious to find out.

[@OG80sScarface]

Should be just as functional. Nascar has been running oval tubing for clearance for many year's and thos cars make a ton of hp naturally aspirated. As long as the inner diameter is the same there should be no change in performance just way more ground clearance. We ran it my uncle's turbo k24 and didn't see any power loss

[@alanclark9000]

I feel the swap kinda sucks because the motor they come with is awesome. The car is so nice inside and out and then you see a rb under the hood, I understand why people swap out slow d series in honda because they have no TQ but a L28 is bad ass N/A or boosted, this also shows how many people are just riding a wave on these engine swap. Everyone out here swapping motors for no reasons. I know a rb26 can make more power then a l28 when we are talking maxed out but that's not the point here. He's probably in the 500hp to 600hp range so yes a l28 could do that, here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/naaclKNohclsesk

[@DLANM57]

L28 in the 600hp range far more expensive, exotic and custom than a swap, and you still have to pay for a trans adapter to cd009. I'm going 2JZ. Much easier path. Still Jap straight 6.

[@danah358]

Nice build! But theres so much build info that is crying out to be told. How much metal was replaced after blasting? Tranny a 5 spd? Why go with RB36 eng? Transm choice and why? EFI? If so which brand and why? Has adjustment of fuel/air ratio with the EFI? Rim diameter choice and why? DanaH

Beautiful project bro. I just got my dream 280zx and debating honestly if i should keep the l28 or rb swap it haha.

[@C-M-E]

An RB in a 240Z is definitely the way to go if you're chasing the dream. The suspension work is pristine, and an R200 will hang all day with tons of abuse. (More than I can say for factory S-chassis transmissions, but that's another conversation) While the purest in me would love to see an updated L28 with modernized ECU, if you're going to that level of performance, RB all the way. Add: Man, a two-fer?! R33 guy had an amazing story too. Really enjoyed that one.

[@thebluestig2654]

I would seriously suggest even the most basic chin spoiler for this car, otherwise, at about 91 to 92 miles per hour, the air gets under the car and will lift the entire front end to the top of the suspension travel and drastically alter the handling.

[@williamandrews1683]

Stock is definitely not underwhelming. You can't compare this to a stock 40 year old car.

[@ChristopherWB]

Not every car needs to make over 1k hp to feel fast..I feel like 600 is the perfect power amount for street and it still will tickle your stomach 😅

[@griffinmangel5191]

hey i’m the owners son 600 hp is more then enough in that car any more and your just asking for an issue it doesn’t spin right now but with about 20 more wheel horsepower it will probably start but when it does spin it’s in 1 gear and the car stays super straight no fishtailing at all.

[@ivaneberle3972]

Had a beautiful straight rust-free 260z that I bought in the mid-80's for the grand sum of $2250. I put dual down-draft Webers and a header on it immediately, but bought it with the intent of putting a 350 ci SBC in it. Found that it would walk 5.0 Fox-body Mustangs with the L26, nevermind the SBC. Did a little more to it in the ensuing years (L-28, 5sp) and it was so dead-reliable for next 150K miles, I drove it all over the US & Canada (Alaska, even). The beauty of the early Z's, at least to me, were the attainability, affordability, and relative ease of working on them. So while this is stunning, it has none of those attributes. (If I had a cool quarter million to drop on a car, it probably wouldn't be something I once owned for 1/100th the price)
