Posted June 27, 200717 yr comment_213487 Yes after 22 years im selling my 1973 240 Zed. In 2000 I striped it back to a bare metal shell and started a 2 year rebuild, using many new and rebuilt parts. One of the states best panel tradesmen spent 350 hours on the body and paint; this is one of the straightest Zeds you will ever find. I then spent over 18 months developing and installing the engine, driveline, suspension and brake systems. The programmable engine management system which comes with a laptop computer, security device and manuals, makes this car behave and drive like any new car. At the last National Concourse in Phillip Island this car ran a credible 2:03.65 for my first time at the circuit, and regularly runs in the low 1:13s at Wakefield Park.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>This car carries a full engineering certificate issued in NSW.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>See photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/RB30ZED<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Engine:<o:p></o:p>RB30 with RB25DE VVT ported head.<o:p></o:p>ARP head studs and big end bolts. <o:p></o:p>New 0.5mm OS factory pistons give 10.7:1 compression. <o:p></o:p>Tomei cams fitted. <o:p></o:p>New RB25DET oil pump running on modified wide drive crank.<o:p></o:p>6.5ltr trap door sump. <o:p></o:p>Custom oil returns.<o:p></o:p>All oil galleries in the block crank and head threaded with screw in plugs.<o:p></o:p>Kalmaker engine management.<o:p></o:p>Custom exhaust with long secondary pipes to large resonators. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Drive line:<o:p></o:p>Skyline RB20DET double syncro box rebuilt with upgraded bearings.<o:p></o:p>Custom tail shaft with larger uni’s.<o:p></o:p>R180 viscous limited slip diff (3.7:1)<o:p></o:p>New front and rear wheel bearings.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>Brakes:<o:p></o:p>Dual master cylinders with Tilton balance bar.<o:p></o:p>296mm front and 300mm rear disc<o:p></o:p>Ferado DS2500 pads.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Suspension:<o:p></o:p>Koni top adjustable inserts in shortened struts <o:p></o:p>All ball joints new.<o:p></o:p>King’s prosport springs 3 sets, 325, 300, and 275# <o:p></o:p>Adjustable spring platforms.<o:p></o:p>Rose joint front control arms.<o:p></o:p>Well balanced F & R sway bars.<o:p></o:p>Adjustable rear end.<o:p></o:p>Under chassis brace.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Wheels and tyres:<o:p></o:p>Genuine 16X7 Pannasports<o:p></o:p>Toyo RA1 225X50X16<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Electrical: <o:p></o:p>Rewired, main harnesses and fitter relays for H4 headlights, VVT engine management and starter systems.<o:p></o:p>Hidden engine harness.<o:p></o:p>Rebuilt alternator.<o:p></o:p>Indicators moved to park lights and park lights in head lights.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Body:<o:p></o:p>350 hour spent on body and paint.<o:p></o:p>Zero rust.<o:p></o:p>Fish oiled regularly<o:p></o:p>Diablo Red<o:p></o:p>Original front panels painted and stored to replace front spoiler.<o:p></o:p>New badges for bonnet and rear quarters.<o:p></o:p>New inner and outer kick plates<o:p></o:p>New door rubbers<o:p></o:p>New glass channels<o:p></o:p>New front and rear windscreen rubbers<o:p></o:p>New windscreen<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Interior:<o:p></o:p>Re-skinned dash.<o:p></o:p>New carpets<o:p></o:p>WRX seats<o:p></o:p>Original and 4 point harnesses.<o:p></o:p>Custom rear strut brace connects side panels to strut tops, and mounts harnesses.<o:p></o:p>G-tec meter<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Spares:<o:p></o:p>Original seats<o:p></o:p>Original front indicators<o:p></o:p>Original engine block with matching engine number.<o:p></o:p>Original steering wheel<o:p></o:p>Diff<o:p></o:p>F & R brakes<o:p></o:p>Factory 260Z mag wheels<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Price: $ 28000 Aust.<o:p></o:p>Contact: Steven Davis rb30_zed@hotmail.com <o:p></o:p> Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24728-its-time-to-go-rb30-zed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
