Newbie with questions
 
Hey everyone! im new here and i finally bought my dream car a 1970 240z :unibrow: anyways ill be honest. since i have always been with a strict family i couldnt work on cars nor could i have learned much about them but trust me i am crazy about them! plz dont judge xD. the thing is i always loved the wangan midnight's devil z and it has been my dream to own something similar and i finally got one! its in ( i think ) okay condition. my question for you people is where should i start restoring the car?? it currently runs an N/A rb25det and i was wondering what should i do??? i certainly have a goal but i have no clue on where to start.. my goal is around 300-400 hp daily use and able to drive to a track and race in it and back to the house again ^^' i know its a lot but it is in the end a long term project. i know a couple of things about cars not much i want to learn more and start working on it my self rather than taking it to a garage and ask them to do it themselves ( which is what most people do in dubai ) i know it has trouble with the fuel pump or something??? ive talked to my dad about it he says that the fuel pump is acting up, i read somewhere that an rb25 needs powerful fuel injectors and i guess my z is running some low quality ones anyways please help me out and if you got some trusted websites that sell parts and some beginner guides that would be great :D thanks


kind regards from a newbie

Welcome to ZDriver!

An RB25 has 300-400hp potential right off the bat. Maybe post some pics and more details of the car / engine bay?

Ah, you have an RB25DE Neo... no "T" for turbo. :D

With naturally aspirated (non-turbo), it's all the same... intake, exhaust, cams, exhaust, ignition, efi control, etc.

Search around Google / Austrailia Nissan forums. There are a few threads on modifying the n/a RB25DE, but as with all engines: non-turbo hp is much more costly than forced induction hp.

^^' thought so.. thanks a lot though ill try looking for sustainability rather than power for now once i get the beauty running 100% then ill start tuning :D
