XXR 527 17x8.25, and 17x9.75

The balance of the car will have you in for a CHALLENGE sir! Happy to see how it turns out.

Suspension and REAL paint on its way.

Yeah man for sure!!! What's your name? And are you currently driving your S30?

Is that right? RIGHT ON! I go to AHS. FINALLY someone close with a Z.

Very cool!! Nothing beats a Z for a first car, eh? As far as an engine goes, I have been debating many possibilities. L28et would be soo easy and cheap for the power that i want, but nothing beats the sound of a good old nostalgic N/A L-series. Instead of turning my car into a huge money pit, I will invest in the car later on. For suspension, I have been researching the use of s13 coilovers and other possibilities other than Ground control. It'd be nice to have all of the camber capabilities.

Thanks neotech! I am out of Auburn, Washington. The car in the garage is actually a 1995.5 S6 wagon that we just got done installing a much bigger gt30 turbo.

Wow. It has been TOO long since I updated this thing. OVER HALF A YEAR!!! In that time, I was able to get the car running and driving for the very first day of my sophomore year. Couldn't be happier. Minus the fact that neither of the gauges worked, a hole was still in the driver's side floor, AND that the straight pipe was enough to make any deaf person want to run... In these many months of nothingness, I have acquired many goodies for my sweet little S30. SO FAR, I have: *MSA type 1 air dam *BRE spoiler *A good coat of black primer (since nobody enjoys a tri-tone mix of blue, red, and black) *Vintage Corbeau racing seats out of my dad's mini race car *All that stereo stuff that us meddelin' kids seem to enjoy *MSA flares *Wheel spacers *And most recently, WHEELS AND TIRES!! Purchased Wheels in March. Tires just yesterday. Still waiting to mount.

I too have ordered a set. But I seemed to go all out. Gunmetal with 17x9.75 in back, 17x8.25 in front. Should be here by the end of this month.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I shall give the carb cleaner a shot tomorrow. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks!!

Yes i have. We did a carb clean on each one. Both seem to get stuck but the rear is worse than the front.

Whenever I try to use my choke, the jets get stuck down every time and I have to go push them back up. i have tweaked with the arms and they seem to be clearing everything.. I have ran out of options to what I think is wrong. Suggestions?

YES! Very pleased to see another 260z on here[: I just recently got mine back on the ground after fixing some SERIOUS unexpected rust...

Thats my goal, but its just money money money... If only there was a way for me to mate it to my L series tranny.. If not, it'll be sooner than later. Thanks for the interest!

Has a swap like this ever been done? Either with the torsen welded using the Audi tranny or maybe the engine mended to a datsun tranny? I would love to learn more considering it's my favorite engine

Hey guys, So I just purchased another parts car which is a 78 280z. when we pulled the R200 out, it seemed to me that it took 1 turn of the drive shaft to spin the wheels 3 times. Did they make a diff with a 3:0 ratio?? We cant read the stamp. Sorry if its a dumb question. still learning about the cars.

Well here's the weekend's work: First, we salvaged pieces from the 280 rail, and refabbed the 260 rails after removing the cancer. Lookin' purdy! Then, we made a convertible!!! then put our recycled roof to good use.. Floors is the last stretch!!! stay tuned for the battery box, and a rollcage!

Finally got back to working on this thing again.. its been months! well, two but thats mighty too long! Here's an update: My car ready for Kemo.. Our new toy which has gotten many use in the past week and here's the new donor 75' 280 And what we did to it.. And the saga continues!!

Here's a question to add: Why is it that the 280 weighs SO much more? Is it more than just the bumpers? Beefier frame??

thanks a lot sileightygx! This is gonna be a great learning experience! just like my older brother when they did his vw bus. Check it out>>
