1974 260z- Turbo swap, complete overhaul


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Been on here for several years and never really contributed many of my progress photos or anything. I got engaged last fall and we wanted to have the car a part of the wedding but it needed a paint job, interior work, and more. So I have been working like crazy over the past 3-4 months in getting it ready, and its almost there!

 

Quick rundown: Bought the car in 2005. Completely stock, hadn't been driven in years. Swapped from Flat Top carbs to SU's, and rebuilt them. Put in Tokico Illuminas, AZ Car springs, Toyota 4x4 front brakes, and new shoes/drum hardware. Drove it around for a while as I decided whether to do 350 v8 or turbo swap. Being 2nd year in college, I decided cheaper and easier would be turbo swap. Bought an 83 l28et drivetrain and started the process with a great friend calpoly-z! Had the engine rebuilt and short blocked, then we put it together and in the car. Ran like crap, had some bad injectors. Decided to go Megasquirt, rebuilt turbo with some upgrades, 440cc injectors, 240sx TB, etc. Got it running pretty good. That was after about 4 years, then moved from CA to VA after graduating. Car sat for about 2 years as I did some small things to radiator/electric fan upgrade. Moved up to Boston, bought a house, got engaged and the craziness for body and interior. Putting in a windshield was not fun, btw. Paint code is 240 Datsun Racing Green.

 

Now for pictures!!
