Hello everyone , I'm not so new at this forum but I kinda am because I don't think I've posted yet..so I have been seeing some rides here lately and man they are sweet.I see people help here and that's always welcoming. I myself have a early '74 260z which I restored to drivable conditions. But still needs more cosmetic stuff. These are my 2 babies, 06 6speed gto and 74 datsun 260z. Ever since I was little I always wanted muscle... but the spirit of the datsun. and I got it! Which one is funner to drive? I prefer my datsun!!! I fell in love when I saw this look. First, I bought this car from an auction...it has a clean title! -I might be the second owner not sure...but I do know is when I got it towed to my house I though I was buying a 280z...when I saw 260z I was like "NICE!".. The paint was in great shape too I was surprised....it was weird the car they had online was brown? screw it I already registered this one and vin matches all around I think the car was donated by a lady because I saw some insurance cards from way back '90s...yes!! I kept them not for personal info but for history. I charged up the battery, cranked and no start...So I went on and trying to diagnose why the car was donated, no start condition. I replaced fuel pump, and it worked again! but a few problems... clutch slipped bad, horrible exhaust leak, bouncy ride. so I went on and... I did a complete gasket replacement. Except head gasket. I replaced the Intake/Manifold gasket, replaced oil pan gasket, I re-configured and tuned my carburetors,,thanks to a unisyn, a lot of patience and a 12 pack! ;D I did a complete coolant flush. Brand new OEM clutch , resurfaced flywheel! Oil changed, tune up / wires / transmission fluid. I replaced ALL of my bushings! Red Energy Suspension. Yes! That's the most important thing is handling for me. Rear top strut bar. Steering wheel from thezstore.com Tokico shock inserts and springs, 02/74. now it sits 1" lower...sexy!!! 16x8 Rota Wheels (hyperblack) 225/50/16 Falken tires! MONZA cat back exhaust. Mods to come maybe,,, Front and Rear Sway Bars from thezstore.com 6 carburetor kit Cam ZG Flares! Front lower spoiler/rear spoiler LS1? RB26? L28ET!? Rear possi 5 speed tranny Still not done with her....but it's going good so far. A lot of people look at my Z and thumps up. I love seeing other Z's because it gives me some ideas or motivates me to keep fixing her. Thanks for looking and I'll keep posting as I go...I'm getting a lot of ideas from the search engine here hah!
