1971 Series 1 240z Racecar With Orig Engine Bre Tribute Car on 2040-cars
Kelseyville, California, United States
|
What’s up for bid? A series one Dec 70 build date 1971 Datsun 240z. A sweet looking and driving Brock Racing Enterprizes (BRE) Tribute car licensed for the paint scheme from Peter Brock himself. He interviewed me to confirm I was on the right track, no pun intended. Check out Youtube title: VID00001 BRE TRIBUTE 1971 240Z dated Apr 2014 at Thunderhill Raceway Park, near Willows, CA. So, what’s this car got besides the classic paint scheme? It’s a full on race car and has been raced. Firstly, it has the original numbers matching engine. Yes, there are several places to find the numbers that confirm this is the same engine and body matching and they all confirm the fact; engine/Vin matching. What
else is in this car? A full on endurance
set up racecar. With fully adjustable
toe in and camber, front and rear plus castor up front. And,
fully adjustable ride height on all four corners with after market spring
perches and modified strut tubes for double adjustable yellow Koni’s. Hubs are all modified to 5 lug 4.5” spacing, fitting Ford plus others. Brakes are 4 piston Toyota
calipers up front with 300ZX vented rotors.
Rears are 240SX disc brakes and rotors; fronts are endurance racing and
rears are racing pads, all by Porterfield.
Installed late last spring to finish the 2013 TT season with NASA and
set up for NASA’s 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
We did not enter that race but the car was ready. I and my son raced it in Washington State July 2013 with SOVREN at the Historic races at Pacific Raceway. SOVREN logbook documents that tech “cleared to race”. Of course it comes with NASA and SOVREN logbooks, it has a full on cage meeting their stringent specs of tech. It has a side net for driver, window net and two race seats installed with appropriate belts for TT at NASA. Driver’s seat is out of race date. All other dated equipment, side net, window net and driver’s belts are 2013 dated. Fire extinguisher comes with the car but pax seat is mounted where the extinguisher goes. Remount if desired. The car has a removable MOMO steering wheel. After market tach on steering post with modified original gauges. Clock is tempermental but works with engine running. I think it likes good vibrations. Car does have an AFR gauge installed for Air Fuel Ratio measurements. Car was rewired with an EZ Wire kit/fuse block from dash forward. Has voltmeter vice ammeter gauge. Drive train: Engine dynos out at 170 HP (chassis dyno) the max horsepower /per minimum competition weight (with driver and gas) of 2425 at 14.25 lbs/ hp. authorized in NASA’s Time Trials D (delta) class this car runs in. It has triple Italian Webers. Transmission is the ’83 280ZX with 4 speeds forward. Drive shaft is shortened due to longer tail piece on tranny. Rear end is 300ZX Turbo, LSD. Engine, tranny and rear end all worked by pros; seals, bearings, etc. No leaks. Two sets of 15 inch wheels/racing tires; mounted come with the car. One set of 225/60 15 Hoosiers with one race weekend on them, one set of 225/50/15 Toyo RA1a with grooves showing. Good racing rubber on all 8 tires. Car is currently street registered with CA DMV. Nice to be able to test legally prior to trailering to the track. Prep for paint was total: no rust now; some was found but all treated, removed or simply cut out and new metal welded in. Paint is hardened single stage. Aerodynamics has been worked hard on this car. It appears simple but per the best wind tunnel testing I could locate (didn’t actually put this car in the tunnel) this car produces 1100lbs of downforce at 100 mph nullifying any lifting (and that's about 1100 lbs by the way) meaning; good aero kills all the lift and improves mileage 2 mpg at 70 mph, about the average speed at Thunderhill for a lap. Told you this was an endurance set up racecar. Email me your questions as I know I haven’t fully explained everything. All picts in this listing were taken either late last year or this year as paint went on this car May, 2013. It’s not a show car; it’s a race car, and it has the nicks and scratches and dings to prove it. Want to show it? Enter it in the raced car class. If they don’t have one, politely ask them for a no trailer queen class. |

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
