FairladyGTR Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hey guys! My name is Jon and I am picking up a 1974 260Z in a couple days and I could not be more excited!! Its been my dream to own one of these cars and a Nissan Skyline but unfortunately, i cannot afford a Skyline lol... so the next best thing is swapping in an RB26DETT motor! I am super pumped to begin my restomod and be apart of the community! I will definitely lean on the knowledge in this forum to get through this build! I will post some pics of the 260Z this weekend once I have her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Welcome. Useful information: Download a Factory Service Manual (FSM). http://www.xenonzcar.com/s30.html Download electrical schematics for your car. PDFs are easier to read than those found in books. Some are in color. Buy the book How to Restore Your Datsun Z Car by Wick Humble. It will save you hours of searching for "how to" info. Focus on searching Hybridz as 99% of questions have already been addressed. Start bookmarking Z car parts suppliers. For SU carbs, parts and instructions go to Ztherapy. Buy the "Just SUs" video. Remember these are 40 year old cars and will need restoration to be safe and drivable. Join ClassicZCars.com website and search there as well. Become well informed about modifications before asking questions. People will be more inclined to answer informed questions Search the forums.
