mainly it would be street car and sometimes be for track but i want to not worry about stressing out the motor and i would be happy with 400-500hp and i think that the rb26dett or the 1jz can perform there easily and still take a beating and give me one too lol... also if i decide to go big i already have the motor there and dont need to swap motors again...j-z wrote:ummmm..... how about you tell us what youre dreams of building this 510 are for??? street car with alot of power??? a track car? drift? what man???
if youre building it just for power i would say its a toss up between the rb and 1j.... the rb is newer, and the 1j has the exhaust on the pass side = no bmc bull shlt.....
if youre building a road race/time attack/auto-x car, i would go with a f22c out of an s2000.
drift.... id probably go ka-t.
im gonna dream that obama isnt our president tonight.....

ive already measured the engine bay and measured a rb26 and it seems to fit along with an extra 2 inches in the front and 1 3/4 in the back and that would be with the radiator so i know it will fit and the weight difference is not THAT much at all and ive seen a datsun 510 with 500+ hp and no modification to the frame so i dont think it will be a problem... im going to try it and if it doesnt work out i can always buy an r32 shell and drop it in! LOL anyhow im not really worried about the money situation i should be fine and i will probably run into problems and delays but in general i think it will be a fun swap! Thanks guys for all your flaming and input and ive decided to go with a rb26 and yes i can get it for $2300 thanks NICO!!!j-z wrote:yeah youre def not going to be able to fit a straight 6 in there without ALOT of modification.... same goes for a V motor.... i say go with the f22c and do a full out all motor build... ITBS, cams, higher compression, springs, rods, the whole nine..... thats what i would do atleast....
and oh... i didnt dream about obama not being president last night... i had a dream to where i was with two chicks in a conversion van going on a 3 hr trip to stay at a hotel and i didnt have any money LMAO <-----truth

s wondering if this car is yours?datsunscom wrote:This stock VG30DETT made 335whp on pump gas and will soon be at 470+ (on pump gas) with a mild turbo upgrade. In a 2500lb car the enigne and trans aren't being stressed at all. It makes a nice daily driver + occasional track / auto-x / dragstrip toy.
One thing often overlooked is how beefy a clutch you need with 500-700hp. At 450-500hp you can use a clutch that feels and engages much like a stock one. Really, check out a clutch that can handle over 500ft-lbs and it will likely be a b**** to use in a daily driver.
