FredxDay Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I joined here a while back in hopes I could get my hands on a Z so I made some phone calls, went to this guys house and I ended up calling a tow truck for this 1974 260z now hopefully I can figure out whats wrong with it and get it started so I can enjoy it for the summer car is 80% rust free. there are a few surface spots or "zits" i call them where its under paint but all the wells are in great condition. only major spot is a small hole under the battery mount Edited May 13, 2011 by FredxDay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datsun723 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Nice find. I'm eventually going VQ as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredxDay Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah, I told my buddy I was going to get the 350z block but he informed me I could change out the cam gears and ecu from a maxima and have the samething and run the 6speed fine, alot better paying $700 for a maxima block then $1800+ for one directly from a Z. cool beans in my book.

BLOZ UP Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 R50 and R51 Pathfinders also have a VQ (3.5 and 4.0).... but it has different compression as well as different cams, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredxDay Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 requires full ECU swap as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
