Canadian 280z Build


Recommended Posts

Picked this up last week for $4000. Car is in awesome condition and runs like a champ. 138,000 miles.

Long term plans are rb26 swap. Ordered a couple parts for it from MSA. Including the type 1 ducked fiberglass airdam, carbon fiber victory spoiler, and carbon fiber front 240z bumper. I will be converting the front end. Need to find some 240/260 turn signals for the front. Going to pull the rear bumper off this week. Likely going to run the shaved rear.

 

Lots of pictures to come as I progress.

Wing, mirrors, turn signals on the way.  Hopefully mount up the carbon bumper this weekend.

 

Thinking about ordering the Deluxe type Marugen Shoukai wide flares and using them instead.

And make sure you all be sure to come to the Datsun Matsuri, part of the Knox Mountain hill climb in Kelowna this May long weekend!

 

Make sure Dave's hard work pays off setting this up. There is no better way to celebrate Datsun-hood than sitting on the hill climb starting area smelling tire smoke and hearing the roar of race engines, while surrounded by Datsun delight as far as the eye can see.

The Matsuri/car show is held in the grassy park area at the base of the Knox Mountain immediately north of downtown Kelowna in conjuction with the hill climb. You pay a small fee to get to "park" inside the hill climb gates, then have full access to all hill climb viewing and pit areas. Not to mention the beer gardens.

 

About 5-6 years ago the hill climb organizers had an idea to attract more public viewing of the event (which is now in its 56 year!)  decided to invite local car clubs to park their iron (tin in our case) on the grass in hopes of attracting more spectators. It worked!!

 

We had 43 Datsuns there last year.
