- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Today on The Skid Factory We're Getting That Datsun Difference by checking out Timmy's Vq35 Turbo Powered Datsun Bluebird.
Timmy has featured on the show many times helping us out with wiring and showing off his Datsun products from One Six Industries. He has a couple of cool Dattos and since we were doing some work on this one for him we thought we'd show it off before getting stuck into the job.
The Current setup consists of a VQ35 bottom end from a Nissan Elgrand with Weisco Pistons and Eagle Conrods mated to VQ30 Cylinder Heads with HKS MLS Gaskets ARP L19 Head studs, VQ35 Kelford Camshafts and Valve Springs.
Previously Timmy had fitted a GT35/82 (Too small) followed by an BW-S362 (A bit lazy) and it currently has a GT35/84RS (Turbine to restrictive) Timmy's always looking for more and ever-evolving the vehicle so stay tuned for next weeks episode where we'll be changing the turbo for a G40-1150

If I wasn't a Kiwi, and air-fair wasn't insane at the moment, I'd love to be there.
Sounds fun but im in Tassie Bugger cheers 🍺🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎👍
I literally live across the road from the venue and I can't afford tickets this year, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the crown on the street cruise though!
Car isn't ready again lol
@@aaronshaw1784 bugger mate, gee I feel for ya, but thats the bigger problem for everyone also gold mine prices on tickets, cheaper tickets more people lets be honest, hope someone can maybe help ya out, be a great video guys, just Saying Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi 😮🤫😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😊😎👍
Both you (Al) and woody are welcome to pitch up a tent in my backyard during summernats. I've even got a spot for the crown
Nothing like a couple of mates helping each other out. Great stuff!
So rad getting to pay back Timmy for all his help. He has one beautiful Bluebird!
I think I had bluebird PTSD. So many near death experiences back in the day thinking we were professional rally drivers on our P plates 😂
i rememeber back in 2013 drooling over the build thread of this when it had the vq30det in it. forums were such a good source of info i would spend hours and hours reading builds online and i learnt more on there than they teach you at tafe doing an apprenticeship lol
VQ's are some of my favorite engines to build, both N/A and for boost, and I love that we are seeing such a monumental surge in unique content/interest (...chicken/egg... whatever, you guys get it haha) revolving around the VQ platform!!
Thankfully, I expect that it will only continue to grow in popularity, at least here in the States. Especially as the vehicles that are powered by the VQ's are settling squarely within the price range that make them attractive to first time car buyers, or tuner-car buyers, alike. Combine the low financial barrier to entry with the fact that almost every VQ Nissan manufactured was built to power a RWD (OR AWD!) platform (350z-370z-g35-g37-m35-q50-etc) straight from the factory...shiiiiit. These build options alone really has me looking forward to the future of what the performance automotive industry will have to offer. :)
Then, once these VQ's start to lose relevance or become hard to come by as the years come and go, all of a sudden the VR platform(s) will reshape the scene just as the VQ is now, and if you can't get excited about 400+WHP and chu-chu sounds with 100% stock components running on pump gas with a simple reflash of the OEM ecu, you might be in the wrong place?!?
Can confirm having fun in this at powercruise!
After Tim broke it he was an absolute GC and gave me his pit pass for the remainder of the event.
Legend!
Timmy’s a legend! Can’t wait to see how the datto runs with the bigger turbo. You just can’t beat an old Datsun sleeper!
Love these sleeper car episodes, keep them coming. Cant wait to see Hoff at the dyno doing his bit!
I still got my first car, owned it for 27 years now ... 82 Datsun stanza sss. turbocharged L20. one day I'll spend silly money getting it back to its former glory.
Epic build. Knew a guy in QLD who had a U13 AWD Bluebird with ~600hp SR20, was a build before its time.
Timmy is such a nice dude too love his 510 as well
Love the archive. These old dattos are awesome. Thanks for the rundown Al
How did the Cox manage to get a dirtbike engine in it? I'd be keen for that video
I remember as a kid, one of the blokes up our street had a Bluebird that he jammed an XF Falcon motor & box into
VQ30 is one of the best motors of all time. I have seen many with over 500,000 miles. Nissan also choose the VQ30 over the RB in their race car in the 90s.
The last one of the these I had was $60. Was a wagon I sprung over diff the rear leafs and some front home made strut spacers. Great bush car.
For me this is one of the more appealing projects. From the video it looks like the ultimate sleeper. I can imagine a Hellcat or Z06 pulling up beside you, what an opportunity.
My younger brother had one of the wagon version. Wasn't built up, but he had it for a few years. Would be awesome to see someone owning a Datsun Stanza. Haven't seen one of these since the mid 9's.
Thank you for creating such awesome and informative videos Al and Woody. It's really calming watching you transform parts into mechanical perfection and a bloody good laugh as well.
I have been working on my project car on and off for a few years after watching your first turbo install videos Al, with Marty and Moog, which inspired me to get tinkering again. I grew up in the bush in Southern Africa working on enduro bikes. I was so happy when you started your own channel.
So using all the info from your and MCM vids I turbo charged my old family hatch back Nissan Almera 1.4GX N15 (GA14DE) with a Garret GT15 Turbo from an old BMW, using Sentra turbo racing exhaust header, 1.6 Sentra fuel rail + bigger injectors, catch can, fabricated a down pipe to link up to stock exhaust, air/fuel sensor + guage, intercooler from the same wrecked BMW + BOV + boost tap, and added a Perfect Power SMT8L piggyback for fuel/timing. I also did a head gasket change and replaced timing chain + guides. She went from 80hp NA to 120hp, scared to push it harder without upgrading internals.
It’s been a great journey, and she is all working sweet now, just fighting with 27 Yr old bloody stock immboliser system ironically that intermittently drops sync with the key chip, so working on how to bypass it at the moment.
Thanks again, you are legends!
Love a good datto,my dad bought me a 510 for my first car in 95.i put a l20b with side draughts and headers and got a Navarra 5speed and Subaru 3.7:1 lsd.such a fun capable car to drive as a teen
What a great survivor 910! My old 85 Seires 3 GXE held on for a while, but it started getting rusty around the C pillar. I wish I had another one, but seem few and far between these days.
The old Dattosun. Beautiful ride. Cheers.
Awesome dato and awesome to see mates helping each other out.
I remember being taken out of school at lunchtime by a friend, his mum picked us up in her Bluebird, with a blue velour interior. She punched darts the entire time, hotboxing us all the way to the pub for fish & chips, before being taken back to school for the afternoon. That'd never happen these days.
She had to pick you up at lunchtime so no one saw you getting in the POS after school. Truly terrible cars they were.
I love these.
I had a white 84 TRX model with the big BLUEBIRD TRX stickers on the doors and the boot spoiler.
Had the dash out many times to get the digital gauges working but was a fun car for a P plater.
Unfortunately 5 weeks after selling it I discovered it got "drifted" into a tree and the body became a banana.
Brings back childhood memories as we had a Bluebird estate until some idiot didn't know what the middle peddle was for at a junction.
It imported here to the U.S. as a model 510. Lot's of people modded them and raced them in one venue or another. It was very iconic in the 1970s and 1980s.
Looking forward to this one, I used to have a Bluebird TRX back in the 90's.
In the UK it was called the Nissan bluebird and the turbo ones were rapid fast 😁👍
I had one of these Bluebirds as a teenager around year 2000, drove around a field all day long
what a mad little bluebird, we use to have one back in like 2000-2002 as a sort of learner car in our family. such a nugget.
Nothing better than mates helping mates, even better still if you all have different mad skills.
Love your work brother... cheers from Illinos im USA
I've seen it around town and knew it was something special
I ordered the sticker after watching this! Can’t wait for it to arrive all the way from Aussie
Can't wait, been in some fast bluebirds before but this is going to be something else!
Loving the Datsun. My first car was a 88 bluebird. A great car if you liked working on cars, always something to fix.
You had an ‘88 Bluebird? Which country was this in? I think they had replaced those, with the Skyline-bodied (R31) Nissan Pintara’s in Australia by then.
@@paulsz6194 it was in Oz. I might have the year wrong. It was the last of the bluebirds, whichever it was. It had a 2.0l twin spark inline 4. Rear wheel drive. 5 speed manual. The headlight enclosures were all clear, rather than having an amber indicator lens. Had nothing but trouble with it, but your first car is supposed to be like that I think. I enjoyed my Ford Telstar more.
@@james.vanmaanenberg
1985. After that, the Pintara with unleaded engine was released.
Best video ever. I still miss my Bluebird
The original Bluebirds of the 80's were terrifying . Very soft suspension and the OEM autos were extremely slow.
They were a good looking car in their day however and it difficult to see one without thinking of making it a Group C replica.
Al, I can actually smell the Bluebird 🙂
I had my white and green 910 Turbo rally car on the Coast for years and then put the Z18ET, Haltech and IRS from it into a road shell as a second family car. Even after that, my eldest son used parts from those two cars for his P-plater Bluebird.
Hopefully Timmy can stop the Aussie shell rusting and keeping him awake at night with bits falling on the ground 🙂
It smells of mildew and vinyl, doesn’t it? 😂
@@TML34 Yup 😁
This will be EPIC to watch the series on this car and can't wait until the Hoff gets his hands on it 👍
In a former life, fitted Turbo's in the early 80's ... We did three new car Turbo Bluebird TRX conversions for a local Datto dealer..Red , white and a blue car.... HKS Turbo, 5lb boost blow through set ups .... Cant say I was a fan of the TRX's handling ..
Mint.
Definitely would LOOOOVE to see what rolling around inside a running MS55 is like, mine has been broken since i bought it. See you at Summernats boys !!
Yeh mad go the 910. I can remember a feature on this car way back when in the ol zoom mag cool to see its still around
As a VQ enjoyer, who also owns a supercharged G37. This is a really cool swap.
My dream is doing this to a 2 door hardtop 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I grew up with one of these, a 82 diesel (L20D). The most bullet proof engine ever: at 400 000km it didn't heat a glass of oil each 5000km. Also the most clear dash ever, specialy at night. Torquey but such a snail! It had IRS in Europe so handling wise it was very similar to the small BMW and Mercedes of the time (front mc pherson and semi-trailing arms at the back)
A school of drift!
Ah yes finally a 910 Bluebird on the channel, my Dad had one as well, they were very popular growing up in Trinidad in the 80’s, fellas did everything with the L-Series engines and some actually got SBC’s swapped in as well. Would love to get my hands on one now 🤔
Merry Christmas 🎄
Alan every time you talk tech it just impresses the shit out of me you have probably forgotten more than I know . Keep up the good work big fella 👍
Love ya work Timmy.
Good to hear one is going to be tuned by Hoff again
On the ad they were called Australia's 4 cylinder Limo, seen a series 3 for sale just the other day, looked all original.
Oh hell yeas! 910 bluey in the beige. Absolutely love it guys. Fantastic
I owned an 84 TRX which ended up with quite a bit of work done to it, FJ20, big turbo etc... Looked like a George Fury car. Loved that thing, why did I ever sell it.
Things wayyy crazier than I thought it would be.
I hate the VQ35 because of straight pipe 350z people but this is cool as all. Love it. Great review.
working on my own S1 bluebird here in bris, ol stroker l20 dcoe webers, side pipe, s13 front end, r31 rear.
square bodies ftw
My mum had the 84 model, flogged it often, was a great car💪
Nice car Timmy!
I've hard getting rid of the AUSDM live rear axle and swapping the factory IRS setup in makes the handle very good.
Cool car we called em bluebird widetracks here in NZ even used by some coppers ( I should know they booked me in one 😂)
Hey guys. Been watching since forever. Recently have started getting my 7yo son interested and watching too.
Taking him down to summernats on the Saturday, would absolutely love the chance to hop in for a lap in the crown or Bedford if we could. Hope I catch ya’s there
Just say hi and it won't be a problem mate
Tried to find you guys all day with no luck. Hope you guys have had a good time down there!
looking forward to summernats ...hopefully we will see u there
Wish I could get to Australia to witness all of that goodness. 😢
i used to had a bluebird 910 SSS coupe some pairs of years ago, wath a reliable car, and pretty sporty too
We didnt get many Datsuns in the UK. The only one i remember from my childhood was the 120Y, a crappy small S^%tbox.
That's going to be a great upgrade for the Datsun!
You have to go back, to go Forwards! 🤘😎 Hold onto your old cars folks 👌
My uncle bought one of these back in the early 80's from strathpine Nissan,brisbane
Nice. My Mum had a 910 series 2, '83 model. She paid about $6k for it in 1992. White with blue interior and a blue stripe on the side because it was a Venturer special edition.
Lots of memories growing up in it like the time Dad cooked the brakes going down the coast and the time Dad bought some Magna rims at a garage sale because the factory rims had become about as round as a 50 cent piece.
It eventually got traded in for a '91 Corolla in the early oughts because rust was becoming an issue. A downgrade in my opinion.
Damn makes me miss my Datsun bluebird
best mechanic in australia
Love the history snippet.
Thats a cool thing, plenty of power for a small car indeed !!!
Yes,the Nissan engines run tight crankshaft bearing clearances from my experience with the RB30 engine.
I was told that the rear drivers side lower control arm mount needs to be braced better than Nissan did it at the factory if a high performance engine swap is done it can tear it off the shell.of the car since it's just welded onto the shell & not the chassis rail.
I was told that the right hand rear control arm mount tore off the shell underneath of a Nissan Bluebird sedan after they did an FJ20DET engine swap into it .
That car was available in the I.S. in V6 form badged as the Nissan Maxima or Cedric.!
I too have the internet and taken steps to strengthen the rear chassis connections
My first car, memories.!
Heck
Struth!
i just picked up a almost unmolested 84 model 3sp auto l20b job with a genuine 123785km on the clock . i do have to fix up some home brew wiring but will need the owners manual for that.
Love the build, disappointed you didn’t do a “Timmy” skit
This needs a Datsun sun visor hat. I just happen to have one if the want to buy it 😎👌
Ahhhh yes ❤👏 hey in NZ we got the sss version that was the "CA" variant 1800 or 2000cc and yes anything "NZ new" was a variant at that time, JDM were treated the same. TRASHED AND BASHED then thrown to the scrappy 🤷♂️ I never seen a V version from factory... dam you boys have some sick ass rides for the time........ anyone seen T&T3 from MCM barp barp barp barp barrrrrrrp
I had an '86 Bluebird but in the UK, they are certainly a bit different here! Loved it though, the 80s looking dash an velour interior, I made a big mistake selling that for £500
This will be cool to watch.
Having a 910 long nose with a L28ET love these short nose 910 jelly of the smaller bumpers.
I have never heard of a long nose 910. Sounds cool.
@theskidfactory Essentially the same car, US spec car we call the Datsun maxima aka Datsun 810 Maxima stupid US marketing. G910 chassis IRS rear suspension a L24E up front with the longated front end to accommodate that inline 6 as well as ugly big bumpers. 81-84 were the only years offered on the G910 with a L24E petrol engine or a LD28 diesel early 81- partial 83 offered with a 5 speed or 3 speed auto half 83-84 offered 5 speed and 4 speed OD auto Jatco transmission. Our L24E had a N47 cylinder head with a P30 block 8mm rods. We also got the predessor G810 for 77-80 with only L24E engine offered 4 speed manual, 3 speed auto. Sedan had a IRS rear suspension, wagon had the H190 solid axle, 79-80 Hardtop/Coupe had a IRS rear suspension, 5 speed manual or 3 speed auto.
"I want a teen second car!"
*gets handed the keys to a Datsun Bluebird*
"wtf?"
FINALLY a 910 gets some love. They all get RB swapped down here though
Love this my dad had one
Bless us Turbo Yoda
I’ll will be at the nats on the Saturday looking for ya’s haha
Would love a ride in either. Missed out on entry for our car
My datsun got sr20det engine....superb handling...
Nice motor in the super cox

“Noooooobody demands…
