So after searching a long time for the perfect classic car race car I found it! And I can truely say that I was lucky with this find!
A 260Z......
Car is stripped bare! However it is complete! It has everything! And all in good condition! Only problem is where the body picked up some rust. Worst is at the rear lights. However all can be fixed! Wwill be picking up the car on Tuesday or Wednesday! Will post some pics soon!
And a teaser for now! 😈
Awesome Mario 😮
Cant wait to follow the progress 😉
Is this the same car RB25SX looked at a few days ago ?
Got no idea...might be cause there was a few guys that went to go have a look. However they where put off by the amount of work needed. But Im amped for it! haha!
I got a very good old school panelbeater that is up for the challenge!
car is flippen tit!!
Love them, same as the old school datsun skyline, very cool
YOU BASTARD!!! hahahaha
Faarkin epic man!! the devil Z is alive!!!!!
You have to paint it blue with a twin torbo L28! hahahaha
Pics of your project please! wanna see how it looks . also where the hell did you find it? and for how much?
Laters!
Oh found it after loads of searching! Got it for a good price. However it needs loads of body work! Rust really had a good time on the roof and rear!
Will be running a stroked 3.1 L28 motor with 50mm sides (perhaps 45mm). Goal is 300hp, gonna be difficult getting there but it can be done!
Colour scheme I dont know yet......
awesome stuff man!
OK so plans for the car:
L28 motor - Stroked 3.1, 50 or 45mm sides (not sure yet, depends on the combination with cams and headwork)
Rock solid bottom end, fully balanced. Most modification work will happen in the head. Will update on what will be done as we go along.
Suspention - Still looking around at option. Because its classic cars you are very limited on the rules. However all bushes will get replaced and a few mods here and there.
Body - Will run pretty stock body with BRE front lip. Shaved rear bumber. Light as possible! Car out of factory has a curb weight of 1065kg! Lets see where we can end up! Fender flares I want to run, however I think the rules is gonna restrict me from running them.
Will update some more later.....
i WILL have one of these!
goodluck with yours.
Here you can see my mountain of work lying ahead of me! 😈
Body is going in soon for metalwork
Currently busy with suspention cleanup and making of new adjustable Lower Control Arms!

Well the 240Z and 260Z chassis and bodywork is near indentical. Very very very hard too spot the difference!
Might have lined up my first sponsor! Will reveal more as soon as I have confirmed!

Will keep you all posted as we go along!
Oh did I mention the wheels will be 15" high....but 10" wide! 😈
i just had to post this baby
Hey Mario
There's a dude that lives in Chukker Road, Kenilworth. He collects, strips, sells , restores old Datsuns...
I've often bought parts from him for my Z, ZX and SSS (510).
Unfortunately I dont have any other contact details for you, but I'm sure there are some guys on the Nissan Owners Forum that might know of him and his whereabouts...
Hope this helps
