The indoor pictures look like they were taken back in the 80's. Here is the link from the original website: http://www.classyauto.com/v/Datsun+260Z/50871 Now come on I know someone on here will jump on it??? lol I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't the only one that thought this guy is smoking....

Are V-8 swap Z-show cars really bringing this much? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Datsun-260Z-1-Of-A-Kind-St-Legal-Sports-Car_W0QQitemZ300041439554QQihZ020QQcategoryZ6188QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Mark, Again Welcome to the board. Now can you help us ALL out and post a video please.... Can I get a second...?

Phil, Look what I found: Only 210,000 Yen or $1768 sheesh.. http://www.escort-jp.com/piston/nissan_f.html#9 Actually I ordered my Ross Pistons through my machinist for $600 and change. I started to race prep the rods and now I have Pauter... Motor still at the machine shop waiting on valves. Welcome to my world $$$$$$$ Nice videos BTW... Good Luck

I got it Clint, mine is the same user and password for my yahoo login. Anyways, fentin_fury I sent you an email asking to send me your email address so I can attach the xls.

I've seen it in person and met the owner Keith. Nice guy everything thought out, very well planned and did I mention CLEAN!!! Best of luck to him...

Well I just got bad news as I thought I was picking the motor up from the machine shop tomorrow. He was assembling the Ross pistons and Pauter rods and ran into a problem. The rods are .100 inch too wide on the piston end so they need to be machined. My machinist called Pauter and they said they do that so aftermarket pistons will accept the rod. I was like WHAT it has been almost a freaking year and it came down to this ARGHHHHHH. So it will be another 1-2 days to have that taken off. Anyone ran into this before? Other than that the R200 3.9 clutch I got from Stony is ready to go in so I guess I won't be making Z days for the break in.... damn damn...

Thanks Stephen, you are never to old to ride..

Stephen word is spreading fast....thanks again for all the knowledge and parts you let go. I actually have something else to focus on besides the Z:

well ordered the Pauter Rods, they will be at the machine shop on friday... i hope I made a good move. BTW anyone want a set of L28ET Rods, magnafluxed w/ ARP Bolts PM me an offer....

Well it's going to cost around $500-$600 for the machine work in addition to having them bushed so I think I am going to bite the bullet and go with the Pauter Rods. My reasoning: 1.)The 350Z/G35, Skyline RB guys are using them. Pauter is no new kid on the block either. 2.)They are on the shelf ready to be shipped. I don't have to wait 12-16 weeks as my motor has been at the machine shop for 8 months. Also have another 1-2 months of fabrication for the TEC 3, manifolds, I/C and exhaust ahead.... 3.)The price. Wish me luck at least I will have a stout bottom end....

There was a reason why I didn't mention them, they were the most expensive and proud of there pricing: ~$1800 12-14 week turn around

Yeap your right. Steering shaft would need to be modified, and the manifold might needed some work so I sold it to a guy in CA who is putting it on a RHD mustard color that he bought from Les at classicdatsun.com Sucks but at least I got what I paid for and it went to a good home and will be put to good use.

Well pistons are in, block is done, waiting on valves from Ferrara after new seats were cut in and now I need some advice. I don't know if my machinist is getting lazy but I know he is swamped. However, today he threw this at me, he asked me to check around on prices for rods. He said after all the labor involved in race prepping the stock L28ET rods (cracks/polish/shot peen/balance/arp), and bushed for full float **thanks James** it might not be worth it and just to buy a set of rods that may be cheaper or close. So I did some calling around and here is what I came up with: ~Pauter $1176.00 on shelf ~Cunningham $1200 12-14 weeks ~Crower $1177 12-14 weeks ~Eagle NONE ouch What do you guys think? I am only looking at making 400-450RWHP (more would be nice) and I know the stock rods when prepped will handle that. However, I think my budget will allow, but do I need to go all out on rods too, or kick him in the a*s and have him race prep my rods? Honestly, How much am I looking at in machining and labor costs to prep the stock rods verses going custom? Is it really that close, I have no idea....HELP!!!!!!!

oh well, by the looks of the replies it stirred the pot again...

Just seen this on ebay just thought I'd share... http://cgi.ebay.com/JDM-DATSUN-240Z-280Z-SOLEX-WEBER-SK-TURBO-PLENUM-W-BOV_W0QQitemZ8022912191QQcategoryZ33742QQcmdZViewItem

Exactly.... thanks for sharing... :)

Pure laziness on my part, I am in the middle of moving...here you go fixed in original posting.

Here is my measly 16x9.5 -19 Type R Watanabe. Also as soon as I can find the pics I have 15x10 -40 SSR Longchamp XR-4, enjoy for now..

I wouldn't mind bringing this back... 2.5 million yen on Yahoo Auctions Japan right now.... I will own one in the near future again...

My buddy has one of these in his 30x30 garage and it gets up to 90 degrees and will run you out of it. You can find them at True Value for less. http://heating-and-cooling.hardwarestore.com/33-167-torpedo-heaters/reddy-heater-661197.aspx

Would that be Fairlady Motors in WA? My friend knows the owner and has spoken of it in the past.
