I've had a few z's in the past and always fixed them up, made them run and look nice and had to eventually sell them due to random reasons. But now, I feel I've landed myself a keeper! Saw an add on Craigslist for a 71 shell and after a long wait period to hear from the seller we finally struck a deal and head out to pick it up in the middle of nowhere. To say the least, upon arrival the car had absolutely NOTHING in it. And by nothing I mean NOTHING. No mechanical, no brake or fuel lines, no interior no hatch, no windows ... heck, the owner had to Wire the suspension and instead of bolts ran steel wires in between holes (spindle, control arms, etc) just to get it in all fours, which made a huge of a difference when it came to load on to flat bed. While almost no bolts were even provided, To my surprise, the owner had a fair amount of the original parts in a small trailer ready to piece together and threw everything in for free!. The original hatch had miraculously somehow flown off when he previously transported the car home and thus far car's still hatch less. The following day while making a list of the missing parts and further inspection I came to realize the car is actually a 7/1970 car! ^O_O^ After settling down for a few days I found out the car was owned by a member here and got some cool pics and info about the cars history. Found that while the car was very rust free it's definitely had its fun and abuse at the track. Regardless, I got the empty shell for a good price and a positive open mind with hopes of giving this girl new life and a new future far far away from either junkyard and or smasher. I'll be posting some pics of my lady soon. For now, for sure I know I'll be running a 2JZ-GTE power plant & 6speed supra Trans with Z31 finned clsd/CV rear end. Pending the sale of my IS300 to fund the project. For now, let the parts search begin!

Hello Today I will be posting about my project that I am currently working on at the moment. The car is a 1983 280zx Turbo, I will be attempting to put a engine from a 1985 302 ford mustang 5.0L & transmission in the Z, The engine is upgraded with a Holley 850 double pumper & I also am going to try to save the turbo off the 280zx engine and adapt it with a mod if I can. A few rough steps that ill be working on will be consistent of : 1. Rebuilding my 302 engine with a kit I found. 2. Rebuilding my transmission with another kit I found. 3. Gutting a ripping out everything in the engine bay that I don't need. 4. removing old transmission. 5. removing old electric fuel pump 6. Removing old exhaust system & replace single with double (Not sure where to get it from tho) 7. Installing new fuel pump & regulator 8. Figuring out where the mounts need to go to hold the transmission 9. welding new mounts for transmission 10. Figuring out where the mounts need to go to hold the V8 engine 11. welding the new mounts on for the engine 12. Replace old shocks with new ones (Before the heavy engine & transmission is mounted) 13. replacing old brake pads with new ones 14. Sanding down body and engine bay (Getting it ready for new paint job) 15. Painting the body with a new paint job 16. removing & Installing new ECU that will control the 302 17. Installing rebuilt Transmission and bolting to new welded mounts 18. Lowering V8 302 engine into the car and bolting it into place to newly welded engine mounts 19. reconnect ecu and other wires needed 20. connect the new fuel line 21. connecting the ignition "Please feel free to comment what I might need to add to my to do list to complete my project " Links to Items I will be using: 302 Engine Rebuild Kit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fem-mhp178-302?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KEQiA1NWnBRDchObfnYrbo78BEiQA-2jqBUjyJhOLMnCqN4NMGLEr2bjhQn9i7kBmPbNI3CBWxWIaAiyg8P8HAQ Transmission Rebuild Kit: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/M7000A/85-95-Mustang-T-5-Transmission-Rebuild-Kit?utm_source=google-shopping&utm_medium=comparison-shopping&utm_campaign=google-shopping-v2&year=1985&gclid=CjwKEAiAmuCnBRCLj4D7nMWqp1USJABcT4df9mLC_ISJ7PxdA8gdHsRBMAyRk6l_G6zYk2gEkzD6JxoCCCDw_wcB ECU: http://www.automotix.net/usedautoparts/1985-ford-mustang-engine_computer-product-3ts94547.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA99qnBRDnrYCkt4ClzZABEiQAvqPaLESGks6klkmeMEu3_ErFIQ4is-zsAQdBmxxwSbAAuecaAmCA8P8HAQ Fuel Injector Kit: http://www.buyautoparts.com/plabuynow.asp?year=1985&make=Ford&model=Mustang&partname=Fuel_Injector_Set&partno=35-81164_8I&gclid=Cj0KEQiA99qnBRDnrYCkt4ClzZABEiQAvqPaLLdqEwOW2UaSH7uPrKDU5p1DGYQ_Pdiu9Hz9dR7_vuUaAkYJ8P8HAQ Fuel Pump: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-12-801-1 Fuel regulator: http://www.protuninglab.com/al0psiadhifu3.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=56128534817 Shocks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-280ZX-Turbo-1979-83-KYB-Rear-Gas-Shocks-Struts-NEW-Pair-/221706118466?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item339eb6e542&vxp=mtr Brakes: http://www.cquence.net/nissan-280zx-1983-performance-series-dimpled-slotted-brake-rotors.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA99qnBRDnrYCkt4ClzZABEiQAvqPaLHWZVqyk-Aggqem_mdyJNkvVsasAiT0fX8xkxefOhAYaAqef8P8HAQ Clutch: The 280zx has a stage 3 clutch and i'm not sure if I can use it on the 302 but id like to.
