fastest rb powered 240

[mightymouse0x]

hey, wanted to see what the fastest rb powered 240 was, or if anyone has a fast car worth mentioning.

this is kind of off subject, but ive been lookin a few years ahead and cant decide on which path i want to go. either get a 240 and drop in an rb25 (or even an rb26, and maybe awd, who knows) or get a skyline r-32 gtr. money wont be a prob when im done with my school. i will be looking at getting one in about a year or year and half.

any opinions will help. thanx

I imagine if money was no issue a 240 with an RB26DETT would be pretty impressive. I'm sure you could get it into 11s or 12s with Traction.

with a properly built motor and chassis, i bet 8s maybe 7s are possible. a light tuned rb26 with traction will hit 11s

[Nathan]

Yeah, if by properly built you mean a full race car...I dont think that fast a car would be very streetable...

[ZERO]

My suggestion is, just go for the Skyline. If you can afford it, then go for it. It will be a lot easier than getting the swap done and all the little things that go with it. Best of luck...

[mightymouse0x]

when u say, "with traction", will the awd attesa system not be able to go onto the 240sx? i was just thining that a lighter car like the 240 with the badass rb26 engine would romp on anything, if traction wasnt such a concern on 240sx's thats why i would like to know if the awd would be able to go on, or if it would be a wiser decision to get the r-32. i would love to get both but can only pick one.

if you plan on using AWD get a skyline, 240s aren't made for it. if you want RWD get a 240.

Ever driven a R32 GTR at 1.7 bar?? Just send the rpms up to about 300 just shy of the rev limiter and drop the clutch. The world will seem to be spinning underneath you. The GTR runs 12's stock, 11's with BPU's. I've seen a few in the 10's with alot of boost.

But I garuantee once you drive one you won't be happy with a 240.

yes but the cheapest gtr here is 30K i've never seen a GTR that ran a 12 stock. low 13, not 12.

[WDRacing]

Talk to Daunttless, I'm pretty sure he can get ya one for 20grand...If you can drive and use drag radials you'll run 12's.

[Projekt]

getting one and making it legal are two very very different things. 20 grand will make a 240 faster than that. and i'd like to see proof of the 12s.

[themadscientist]

if you have access to a professional frame shop you can make a 4wd 240. It would cost more than a GTR by the time you are done though. Both the Skyline and Silvia are nice platforms but the Skyline is a more refined precision instrument . The Silvia is like a cleaver, the Skyline a Ginsu knife( I don't know if it cuts cans though)

[lessthanjakejohn]

When was the last time you cut a can with a cleaver?

[themadscientist]

ever hit a full can of soda with a cleaver? oh the horror

Fastest RB powered 240 is HKS 180SX

[S13Ka24e]

Fastest RB powered 240 is HKS 180SX

That is right, Tetsuya Kawasaki and his rb26dett (it is stroke/bored to 2.8L) ran a 7.184@190 he might have gone faster in Japan i know that is a race time in the NHRA drag races but he is give a weight penalty here, which he might not have in japan. Either way 7sec passes almost 6sec. One fast 180sx.

[themadscientist]

full tube chassis car though 180 in body only. That's like calling John Force's car a Mustang.

[Trike]

night.. what all have you done to the motor? turbo? amount of boost.. etc.. i'll be happy with 12's in a 240...

[mightymouse0x]

i know they have stroker kits for the rb serious engine. jun and hks are the 2 i know of. 2.7 and 2.8. are there bigger stroker kits, and which one is better, the 2.7 jun stroker, or the 2.8 hks?

night, how was traction, was it a big prob?

i still cant decide on what i want to do, r32 gtr, or a 240 with an rb25/6. i know the skyline would be a dream for me, but im just thinkin that the 240sx would be quicker cause of its weight.

[meggala]

yeha 12's very doable 11's achieveable with an rb25 or worked rb 20 the key is traction get you 60' time down and you will see the times tumble. the main thing to get you times down is fuel sustem and turbo when have rgb 20 power skylines here well in to the 12'salmoststock rb 20 skylines running low 13's with traction so yeah go for it.meggala

What kind of LSD?

[Redline240]

And how much boost?

Oh man. I got to see him run that funny car at Seattle International Raceway. It was sweet, he lost a piston (flames shot out of one of his side pipes, it was sweet) half way down that track and still ran 5-something seconds. If that was really a mustang I'd buy nothing but ford.

[themadscientist]

Yeah I really like Force. As long as he has been in the game and as many wins as he has he could be a premadonna but he's not. He's like a big kid, you can tell he still loves what he does and you have to like that.

DaunTT's GTR's are legal bro, if i was worried about money, i'd stick with turboing a KA. I can make a KA run with any RB25.

Go to SDU and you'll see people who have run 12's in a GTR in stock trim. A 12.9 aint really that fast...

last I checked, the D.O.T. stated that Motorex is the only company that is registered and licensed with the right to make skylines US driven (besides show purposes, whcih is 15k miles a year). I've spoken with Dauntt, he can't get them street legal, he told me himself. The guy can't even get an engine supplier that doesn't crap out. How many engines are over here in cars that he supplied?

[dan240]

Night, the LSD you sell (600 dollars?) are from the R33 GTS-t right? and if so are those the 4.3's???

Either way, i think the other company is http://www.rbmotoring.com

[ahhsk]

ATStephen, thats a pretty low class ad campaign you got going on, the one on FA was equally sad. RB motoring is the other US Skyline distributer but motorex does the legalization for them. Basically if its not motorex its probably illegal for street use.

add campaign? what are you talking about? if your talking about my sig, i use that on most forums. figure, if im posting and talking, might as well have it there. We'll be advertising on mr2faq.com shortly, as well as a few other sites. It isn't meant as my cheap plug, so try and keep back your judgements, I don't beleive I asked for them cheif!

[mightymouse0x]

i was talking to my friends and they are domestic guys thinkin that all import suck ***. well i want to prove to them that imports can be just as fast down the 1/4 mile than a domestic. what are some of the fastest imports around world wide. im not talking about 4000hp drag cars but pretty much street legal
