Zardilla Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Saw this at the Nissan display last weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Nice to see an OEM swapping engines too. http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3095&cat=500&page=1 http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3096&cat=500&page=1 Oh, and saw a nice 260 race car http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3097&cat=500&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Transverse mounted engine. Looks like they took an FWD unit out of a Maxima or I35 and planted it in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZHeadV8 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 That "260 racer" car is the most famous racing Z in the UK probably and is actually a 240 - it is called Big Sam and was built by Spike Anderson of Samuri Conversions The current owner is Nick Howells who lives I believe in Cornwall. There is a long and chequered history surrounding this car - it was originally in the body shell number HS-30 00025 which was Altonen's work's racing shell. That shell was severely damaged (I am currently putting that shell back together but it could never ever be called original, merely an identity with a lot more modern parts around it). Once that shell was damaged the whole job lot of components was swapped onto another ex works shell that I believe is still with the car today. Anyone interested in Samuri watch this space............ there will be news in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
