  1. Thank you. I kind of forgot about searching since I was soo absorbed in this post . I'll check out the rest of the posts. Regards
  2. Thank you all for your time I'll have to get an expert to check on the noise and to fix it sadly.. it is not something I should take lightly.. I do drive carefully. I am just worried that it could cause future problems.. what do you think? I do not plan on modifying the exterior that much. It is just like you said, almost too nice to modify. I think that in order to function the way I want it to, I will end up at least changing the wheels. About the diff, I found this link: https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/260z/complete-r200-r230-rear-end-conversion-z-car What do you think? I heard some good things about technotoy but I would like to hear your opinion on it. Turbos are really good . Is there any place you know of where I can get my hands on some goodies for the RB25? It seems like I have a lot of research to do . Since you said beware of upgrades, what do you think of technotoy's mods?? Regards to all of you.
  3. Thanks for your replies! Here are some fancy pictures of the car in rainy weather. I don't have any other pictures since my camera is back in the UAE while I am in Italy at the moment.. As you can see, the body does not really require that much work since it is very well taken care of. However, the inside of the car is pretty messed up. Sadly, I don't have any pictures to accompany that at the moment. The problems I discovered as of yet are: The interior needs restoration. No sound or wind isolation. None of the gauges are working. Engine is waaay too slow even for a "200" hp engine.. I wonder where the power went. There is a very loud cranking? noise when I full throttle the car while driving in 1st and sometimes 2nd. I think it is when there is enough torque to lower the rear end of the car. My guess is that the prop shaft is hitting the bottom of the car. I think it does that because the prop shaft is not placed correctly? I don't really know.. The exhaust is scraping speed bumps so I must fix that as well.. The head lights went out recently . A basic description of what I want to do with the car is to make it a daily driver with about 300-400 hp and quick on the track.
  4. Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a pleasant day. I recently bought a 1970 240z after saving money for a long time. I was excited and said that it will be easy, that I am gonna build it within the next few months. I was naive and after reading a certain post on this website, i was "enlightened". "For the newbie car guys on this forum.. New to building Z cars and etc.." Is the post I read. I now want to take my time to enjoy building the car and learn as much as i can through this "journey". I would like to mention that there is no budget concerning this project since I think it will last a life time Here I am now to ask all of you who have experienced building a Z. I ask you for all the advice you can give me and to answer any question listed below if you please. If you think there is a link that will answer or help me in anyway, go ahead and add it. 1. What would you recommend to have in a garage in order to modify a car in general? I am new to this so please list everything you deem necessary 2. What are the reasons you chose a certain engine? The Z i bought has an rb25de neo and I wondering about the positives and negatives about the engines (2JZ, SR20DET, RB26DETT, etc) 3. For a newbie like me, what would you recommend I do in order to gain more experience? 4. Where do I begin? 5. Which differential do you use and why? This is my first time posting so I do apologize for any grammer/spelling mistakes as English is not my first language. I also do not know what information am I missing in this post so, if there is anything you would like to know about me or the Z, please ask away! Regards!
