DEVIL-Z 1973

My Name is Anthony and I am starting my search again for a Z. I am looking for specifically a 1973 240Z rolling chassis for my DEVIL-Z Project. I am not really looking for a completely bare Z, I would prefer it had everything in it but the motor and transmission or non running motor. I do plan to swap the motor to a L28ET, hence the wanting of no motor or non running motor. Being a manual would be a plus. I do live in AZ but am willing to travel if need be. I am not looking for a rust bucket but preferably something that needs some body prep and paint if possible but I will consider others if in good shape. So hit me up please if you have one. Thank you for your time and help.

I found a company that makes exact replica JDM fender mirrors that are electric and come with an ajustable switch for inside the car. They are not RE-Amemiya. I will try to find the site again. I got it saved on my favorites on my laptop.

Those are 16s

Yeah its pricey. I mean when Enari gave me a price for 16x9.5 it was estimated for all 4 wheels at $2,810. So you get the idea for custom 17s. He also told me he sponsors Formula D Drifter, Taka Aono and he asked for a set of 17s. He also said that there is a lot people in Australians in the import scene wanting them as well. So I figured I would hit up Viczcar.com to drop the subject. I got already 12 people on the list.

Ok so I checked out Watanabe's site the other day and thought I would hit them up through email for a quote on some custom 17 inch R Type wheels for my 240Z project. Well of course as you know their email doesn't work so I decided to give them a call. I ended up talking with Enari Kiyotaka, a representative for the California shop. I told him what size I was wanting and he said that they don't have 17s available right now. I asked him if they could be custom made and he told me that he would hit up the main office and see. We traded personal emails with one another so he could contact me with the info. Apparently the only way the main office will supply him 17s to sell is if I ordered 100 sets, (ha... not happening, 4 is expensive enough)which I then told him there is no way that happening but told him I really really wanted them in 17s or I wouldn't buy a set. So he hit up the main shop again. They told him that if he could find 25 PEOPLE that buy 4 wheels in 17 inch they would supply him with 100 sets. So...I am here to ask anyone serious enough that is truly wanting 17 inch Watanabe R Type wheels, to PM me so I can make a list. Now the catch is that we have to decide on the 2 different setups of the wheels. I was thinking 17x9 and 17x9.5. The offset has to also be decided as well. So please give me some feed back on 1. popular wheel width as well as offset so we can agree and get these wheels ordered. Again PM me if interested in getting 17s. Thanks for your guys time and help.

REALLY? Wow! That sucks. I really like those RED-OUT Tail Light Lenses. Not a big fan of Amber color.

So I came across DATSUNRESTORE.COM which is probably a site that you all know of by now. Well anyways I came across a few things that I wanted your guys opinion on. First being how good are their parts that they sell? Second how is reliable are they? I found some parts that they sell that I might be interested in and wanted to know the quality of them. - 240Z/260Z/280Z H4 LIGHT CONVERSION KIT - BRIGHT WHITE 60/55 XENON BULB AND 7" HOUSING KIT - 240Z (RED-OUT) US TAIL LIGHT LENS SET

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the fuel cell cause I really don't want to worry about heat as well.

Yeah that Z is really clean. I love everything about it. He did a great job.

I found this pic of a S30 that had a center exit exhaust setup. I really like the look of it and am wanting to know if it is hard to achieve?

I am looking at possibly getting a L28ET "COMPLETE" motor and tranny to swap into my 1973 240Z project. I am located in California so if you have or know someone/somewhere I can get a good condition running "COMPLETE" motor and tranny please hit me up. Thank you for your time and info.

I'm thinking that color with a nice black accent, such as Watanabe wheels, spoiler, fender mirrors, and hood vents

I thought I would stay with the Nissan theme and the color really would stay with the theme of the RB25DET swap.
