What is this

[MC75Z]

I have only been into Z=cars for about 5 years. I have owned and driven on the road one 240, two 260s and four 280s during this time. Now I am down to a 73 240, 74 260, 75 280 and a 77 280. Looking on Ebay tonight I saw one I have never heard of, thought maybe someone could fill me in on it. The ad read like this with a lot of description. 73 240 RB26Dett project - N1 turbos. It said it was about 75% done with over 16000.00 invested and the starting bid was 9999.00. There were a lot of pictures. Just curious.

The RB26Dett is a popular engine that people drop into Z cars and has twin turbos. It's not a different car or type, just a normal 240z changed, updated, improved in performance. You can read a lot more about the RB26Dett upgrade over at HybridZ.org

So with 4 Z cars you are looking for one more! If I even thought of bringing home another Z car my wife would kill me.

Looked at your webbpage and would say you know what your doing starting from the bottom up. Nice job. Look forward to seeing it completed. Thanks for the info on the RB26Dett.

Being the shy reserved type, I plan to transplant a baby Godzilla engine into my '73.

It is the RB25DE with Variable Valve Timing.

One day....one day....

I wouldn't say I know a lot ... I just read a lot on this site and Hybrid Z, ask questions when I don't know and can't find an answer. I also know it's going to take me about 4 times to do it right the first time, but the next time it will only take me 1 time. Personally, I know NOTHING of the RB26eTT engine other than what few things I have read on HybridZ. I like the engine, but want to stick with my in line 6, I like it.

BTW, that car is being discussed over at HybridZ (one of the members who posts there owns it) and it's been done well from what others have said, just unfinished.

As You Can See His Ride Made Car Of The Month!

This Is The Cat I Plan On Talking To When I Build My 240z.

He Claims (if I'm Correct) His Rb26 Is Lighter Than The Original L24 Motor (which I Assumed From Elsewhere Was Heavier).

Ok, the 2nd link was the Silver Z as car of the month.

As you can see I'm quoting myself here,.... how sad :tapemouth
