I acquired these fiberglass body panels back in 2011. I have not seen any panels like it. Just sitting on my ‘72 Z they resemble the Greenwood Corvette IMSA car from the early ‘70s. Would anyone on here know anything about the kit? Supposedly they were purchased in 1979 at the swap meet in Carlisle Pa and were made for an IMSA 240z. They set in a barn in Pa until I got them. The only piece missing is the rear hatch spoiler. thanks in advance.

Pictures??? The only way mt car will idle for "30 min" before the t-stat opens is if I forgot to put it in....lol

Just buy it... It's pennies compaired to the cost of a conversion... The TPI book is good also...

The IMSA kit is the one in my gallery. I'm either going to keep the FIRST TPI system (is on it currently) or use my polished HSR (Holley stealth ram). I bought it to put on my IROC, but after installing it my factory hood would not shut without taking off the insulation, so I went back to my factory TPI. The HSR gives it a more muscle look and I can switch injectors very easy. The heads are GM aluminum fully ported, 2.02 valves and 1.6 roller rockers. I'm running a LT4 hot cam with 526 lift, very street able. The 383 was built using a ZZ4 long block using all forged internals. I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow... Later...

I'm going to use the JTR mounts and a 7" balancer... That's what others had done... Later

I always loved the falls in AZ., the best time of the year to work on cars. I restored 3 Zs in Tucson, wished I still had them all... I always tell my wife, "that I'll never be too old for fast cars". Money is always the key to finishing a project, so I'm going to sell my IROC-Z to finish mine. Hopefully by next spring I'll be finished and on the road. I'm wanting to make molds of my body kit before I install it. I have to install the rear quarters of my IMSA kit before I can install a C4 diff. I'm going to put the motor and trans in next month and probably destroy the factory R180 within a week, I'll see how strong it is...

I love GM fuel injection systems. I owned several cars with the TPI system and LT1 f-bodies. My daily driver is a 1990 IROC-Z with a slightly built factory 5.7L. I'm on thirdgen.org with the same screen name as here. I bought the Buick already complete with everything hooked up. This weekend I need to take a picture of the cam sensor and send it to you. You might be able to give me some insight on it. I would like to hook it up as sequential injected, it should give me slightly more HP and better gas mileage. I will be driving this car weekly when it's finished,I'm not a trailer queen kind of guy. I rebuilt my current 240Z when I lived in Tucson back in 2003, after the build we couldn't get it thru emissions. Too high compression, 10.6 to 1, and to big of cam, don't no the specs but it is a factory stamped Nissan cam out of a Bre car (sounded like a cammed small block). I had to put the factory cam back in so it would pass. I now live in Virginia where there is no emissions just safety inspections so anything is possible. The cam, lash pads and rockers are still sitting in a box in my garage, one day I will use it.... When do you expect to get your Z on the road?

I'm going to run the ArizonaZCar Wilwood front brake set-up. I looked and the only lsd R200 that I can find around Va is very exspensive combined with building the CV and getting stonger stubs. I can get a complete Dana 44 covette diff. (disc to disc) for less and with my wide body there will not be that much fabrication. I have the cam sensor in my car but it's not wired up. How much of a difference will it make to hook it up? What type of injection system are you using? Thanks

You can rebuild yours to handle 500+ horsepower for less than 1500.... I have this Pro-Built kit in my '84 Buick Regal with a ZZ383 and it's awesome... http://www.700r4l60e.com/store/product.php?productid=41&cat=19&page=1 My '90 IROC-Z also has a Pro-Build kit in it. A friend owns a garage and he put it together for $250.00 and I'm running 11s all day long and after 12,000 hard miles not 1 problem. The motor is coming out this month to go in my '72 240z with a T56... You can go to thirdgen.org and search pro-build and see how good the kits are. They are located in Ca and they can build yours... Enjoy...

I'm ready to start building my 240z. I'm trying to figure out which frame mount adapters I need to get. The motor is a ZZ383 stroker and it has the large 8" harmonic balancer. I'm also running a crank trigger ( http://www.emi.cc/triggerkits/220-72808.html ) and i can't go to the smaller balancer. I don't have a distributor since I using a Electromotive TEC3 ( http://www.emi.cc/products/tec3.html ) with coil packs and a FIRST fuel injection system ( www.firstfuelinjection.com ). I'm using a '97 T56 6-speed and I'm planning to install a Dana 44 C-4 rear (to handle 450hp and 500ft lbs of torque). I'm not worried about rear end width since I'm putting my IMSA body kit on it. Can the JTR kit work with modification or do I need to make my own. This engine with 411 rear and a 700r4 put my 3400lb '84 Buick Regal in the high 11s in the quarter. So this should be fun in a 2400lb 240z... Thanks

I see what your point. After researching Greenwood IMSA corvettes I think that it could be a knockoff... Greenwood did have several guys working and driving for him that had a Datsun background. Check out the corvette fiberglass quarter... http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.com/Promo/Literature/GTOBro2.jpg

If you do find the magazine, would you be able to scan and email the article to me?? Thanks

I always liked that kit. When I restored my 75 280z 2+2 I wanted to try and find a kit like that one for it and it didn't happen. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.107669799246791.13649.100000113141735&type=1#!/media/set/?set=a.107669799246791.13649.100000113141735&type=1
