Oh really! How the heck did you end up at streets of woodfiel all the way from AL? Its not a bad of a car at all its just a mater of how much he wants it for $$$.

Me!!!

So as i was browsing e-bay checking out the Z-Series classfield and stumbled on this 78 Fairlady that looked like a 79 280zx. It was a 2+2 and the cool thing about it i know the guy that is selling it, he is like 5 min away from my house. If anyone is intrested it would be a good buy depending on how much he want for it. Its not in the best condition ever but there isnt that much rust as i could tell. I never find anything in my state but a bunch of crap and when you dont need it, what you know its allways there. Never the right time for me but maybe for someone eles. Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140045911551&rd=1,1

If you get this car, you should defenatlly drop in an SR20 in it it will handle sweet and boost pretty nicelly. SR20 go for about $1500 for the red top complete. Which is not bad you can keep it as daily driver if you want or just a plain fast a$$ beater.

I like the idea, but the thing with z31 mounts for the 240/260/280z S30 crown wouldnt be ideal. Originally Stony posted that Z31 mounts would work but they would put the motor a bit forward which isnt all that great in S30 since you got all this plumbing, radiator and 2 intakes with MAF sensors that are on it. But any how to fab out these mounts regardless of the quality you looking at 150-200 at minimum. Where most of the places sell them for like $350 and up, but they are proven quality mounts. So i guess its a good try but you have to get enought people to actually do it and then test it on of the cars. I just dont know if there is a sucess in this one. Dont want to be negative about this but just expressing my opinion.

I have this race saved somewhere on comp but i saw it last night again for the 10th time thinking maybee this time they will get 8 car lenght vs nos and then see what happends. But any how thats old news for me. What about putting a sr20det and topping it out with 500hp in a Z? Since all you guys think about is big blocks V8 maybe there is a chance with 4cyl. Just my tought, i wana see something fast on Pinks like that 240sx powered by Chevy! or 2jz powered Z do a 9 sec pass on pinks something in that nature.

Oh man good score, so what kind of powerplant you going to drop in here?

$400 ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Damw!!! Those that mean i could sell my 280z radio for like 100 that will defenatlly buy me a new head unit. What could i say its Antique..

I wish it would be pink, so who ever buy is it could put a sticker on it saying "I am not gay my Miata is, cant you tell?":lmao:

Oh yeah! I am defenatlly allready running in into getting parts for the RB26 but Shay at nismoparts is pretty good to deal with and could get always special order parts that you will have to wait for about 6 weeks!!! Maybe Matt "cheftrd" from Japan could source out some parts. I would probably assume that anyone on this forum from Japan could get parts for RB motors. But no mater what you will have to pay the buck to get it. I feel the pain and wait!

That Toyota Corolla is wicked sick ride man u should make it like all corbob fiber and spray the engine bay jet black that would look awesome. True drift found in beaters!

Oh man can i make it my signature.... Thats awesome!

Congrats on coming baby and on keeping youre Z!!!

Thats a good deal, 512 ram is a bit short, but very good CPU. Someone will defenatlly grab it who know what this is for such a low buck. I would but i allready have 2 and a dual core video animation station. Good luck on sale.

Awesome write up, just need to read it a few more time to fully understand it and then just do it!!!

Damw i tought only buyers were dreamers. I guess sellers are trying to dream about their money too...

It dosent matter where you will be importing this car to. In US here we have a law about importing grey market car, it has to be atleast 25 year old to be approved by customs to releast it in to youre possesion. In Canada they have a 15 year law on bringing gray market cars. So Canada is more felxible on registration. As for pricing from terra2imports.ca i think there a bit over priced but there is allways premium on these type of car being imported here and specially FairladyZ and KGC10 Hakosukas. There is a bunch of other imports that might do it cheaper by allitle bit. As for bringing the car to Canada and then to US it dosent make a diffrence if the car is 25 years or older.

Uh! I see now, that it wasnt the mounts. It was the 300zxtt tranny that let the motor to be placed and sit that way. I like how he mounted the intercooler behind, but does the radiator get enough airflow that way?

Welcome! WoW Youre car is awesome!!! Another of my inspiration in building the badass RB26 Z car. Great write up of the build up and nice photo shots. I like how the motor sits in the engine bay, what kind of mounts did you guys use? Stay in forum i might have some questions for you down the road as probably other too. Great Job! Mike

I am going to try this one, since i am in same postition in finding a intercooler for my self. Is this core for RB25 or 26? I have found a couple that will work with an aftermarket intake plenum. Arizona Z car makes a pretty decent one and they sell a radiator to go with it, the end tanks are on top of the core but not modified to fit. Another one that i have found is basiclly similar one to the AZC one, its called Megan racing intercooler. Which should work also, but same thing about the end tanks they need to be modified. Price is about $400 for either one. I am allmost thinking of getting it custom made but i cant really find anyone to make one that will have 240/260/280z on hand to test fit it.

Very beatifully done, great paint, and looks awesome. What kind of wheels are those?

I dont think that LHD interfers with twin turbos on RB26 since many people had swapped this motor in 240sx. Same goes to the 240/260/280z!

Congrats on the new car!!! The 350z Track ED is very nice i like it alot. What color did you get it? Post some photos when you get a chance, got a love that new car smell. For the name how about Mr.K!!!

Hey Evan did you get youre injectors yet. If you still driving around next week i would like to take a look at it. Looks like we going to get some snow thoug on Sunday.

Not bad for 100.000K still thinking that i could have an insane RB26Z for that much money or maybe just a fully built R33.
