240Z BRE Tribute Race Car Build

Post by Ricky »

Hi there,
I have been lurking on here for a while and thought I would post a link to my 240Z Tribute build and some videos of it being driven in anger.

This is a great car - saw it at the Bruce Mclaren Revival meet at Hampton Downs.

Sounds the Bizzo too - Big induction noise.

Love this car Ricky, would be great to see it down south for the Southern Festival of speed, February every year, 3 weekends, three tracks, over 2 weeks.
The water lines that run back to the top hose are they there for bleeding air? or do they play another role?

The three lines bleed steam/water from the dead-end pockets in the head casting above the rear 3 exhaust valves, we had some issues with the thin valve seats distorting and loosing the seal against the seat. It certainly dropped the overall temp and stopped the valve seal problem.

It would be great to come South just need to win Lotto first.

Cheers
