I took a quick look at the 300ZX last night, it only has 4 bolt wheels. I was trying to find out of the brakes could be adapted to my S30 without too much trouble, but I don't think it'll be worth the hassle. The blue S30 had been stolen or written off at some point in time, it has an Alberta Government issued VIN, unfortunately. It's headed to the great Datsun racetrack in the sky later this week, I don't think there's anything left on it worth salvaging.

So, I`ve been searching for a few hours here, trying to find out if anything from an 86 300ZX NA would be of any use to me. The car is a 5 spd, it runs, and it`s $500.

I'm interested in this as well...... depending on price, etc

I just ordered 2 of these http://www.diecastbymail.ca/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IOC&Product_Code=31170OR&Category_Code= 1:18 scale

Nice car! Good to know there are a couple of other Z guys in southern Alberta.

I was going to just shave my door handles and go with something like the C6 vettes use, but those C3 handles might look really good on a 240.

Yeah, that hood is sweet. Gotta have have one.

Well, it's official.....the blue car is toast. Too much rust to even begin to think about repairing it. Got the fiberglass fenders off of it, just gonna get some of the electrical parts from inside it, take the cylinder head off, and cut the rear quarters off of it. Anybody want a header for a 2.4?

Mine has a throttle body on it. The EFI manifold was used, just had all of the extra ports, including the injector holes, plugged. Hopefully I can find something a little more attractive. I'll be going back tonight, if more pics are required.

This is my mode of transportation for anything approaching the freezing point, so I'm not that concerned about cold weather issues

The previous owner did all the work. It has an 80L tank mounted where the gas tank used to be, and uses an Impco mixer that's good for 350 HP. I still have to do a bunch of research as far as tuning goes, but I should be able to go with a pretty hot cam, and a decent amount of boost without detonation issues. Propane is very simple to set up, as you really only need to adjust one screw on the mixer to lean out or make the fuel mixture richer. I'll try to find some more info when I get home from work.

I haven't had a really good look at the blue one yet. I'll see if there's enough left of the frame to put jackstands under sometime tonight. If it's not rotted out, then I'll just have to build another one!

You are correct, I should have clarified myself. Sorry for the premature heart attack / stroke!

You got it. 110 octane for half the price of regular unleaded, and doesn't contaminate the oil anywhere near as bad as gasoline. What's not to like?

Finally got my hands on another Z, hoping there would be some parts I could use for my other project. I knew it had fiberglass fender flares in the back, but it turns out somebody put some fiberglass front fenders on as well! I took a could of pics last night: The garage The propane fueled 280ZX engine I'm using Parts car The project The orange car when I bought it Just got the propane tank certified last week. If it didn't pass, the plan was to install a fuel cell, and buy the 530HP LS3 engine in the showroom at work.

Hey, the left one I bought says JDM on it. Should be good for 10 more horsepower, right?

Any of you guys read Sled Driver? I've read some excerpts from it, some truly awesome stories there.

My 71 is orange, so I have to go with orange!

I was gonna say the posterchild for abortion, but that might make me insensitive.

Wow, that's a serious QC issue there.....

Oooooh, very nice. What kind of wheels are those?

Step 1: Delete this thread. Wouldn't want any incriminating evidence out there. Step 2: Make house call. Step 3: Dig a hole, make sure the neighbors are not watching. Step 4: Delete all pics from photobucket and phone.

V8? Who needs a V8, just give that L28 some forced induction

This is how the car sits now, just dragged it into the shop for the first time since fall. All that snow makes it a ***** to push it in

Does the water pump pulley spin easily? It might be seizing up...
