Drift Boss Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey guys, long time no see, but i do troll on here as everyone does. Here is my Datsun 280z! I bought it for the shell mainly. I loved driving around the Ford 302...but it wasn't the engine platform i preferred. So.. BUILD First thing i did was remove the good awful huge 280 bumpers, and rear louvers.

Nelsonian Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nice parts there. So far the parts I have for my build are a rear sump pan and components from an SC300 and a barely broken in (1700 mile) Marlin Crawler built R154 trans with a Spec twin disc clutch.

Drift Boss Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Fitment issuess (for me) Ac has to go... Most mount kits run their trans mounts of this...i had to cut it out...it hits my trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Next up...mounts! I went and bought a 220volt welder. Lincoln seems to be the great brand. I have owned 3 lincoln units before, none gave me any trouble. These are the EASIEST mounts i have ever made. I have done countless rb mounts/1j/2jz 240sx setups.... All you need is the 1/4 x 4 inch flat steel, and one peice of 1/8 x 1 inch flat steel. Cut the mount plate on side of engine, drill 4x holes. Then cut 9.75 inch long of flat steel. Then cut braces for the sides, make sure you set them in and tack weld before you fully weld them. Pretty much a 90 degree design. Keep in mind k am.not a professional welder lol.. No gas weld!

Drift Boss Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Now, i added 1/8 steel angle iron to the frame rails,and YES there is a rubber mount between the frame and mount. Also, the holes are drilled threw the rear subframe, so you know it has a very strong bolting area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
