Sparks280zt Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ehhh, no loss, just a 2+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 believe that is same z that was running around the san jose/fremont california area. last saw it a ohlone college when Alex's z still had a 6 banger in it. check his website, i think he has some photos posted of that beast.

v80z Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I hear it is a little loose in the corners. I am sure as soon as he gets his corner weights set and his ride height level it will be a track monster!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Wayne is correct about the car and it is a pretty cool ride powered by a 350 V8. I think the guy did a small burnout when I was there. I think the guy grafted the Z to a 4x4 (Toyota or Datsun) pickup. I like this particular 2+2. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuyun Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I believe that if you take the complete suspension form a Datsun 4X4 pickup that it bolts in same suspension mounting locations. I read a sight that said this several years ago so I can’t be sure that this is a fact but with having seen more than on I would suspect it is not to far off being a bolt up swap.

rdsk8ter Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 there is a 240z just down the road from me sitting on 35s its a very sad sight but the dude is a big guy and i think it might take about 3 guys to beat some sense into him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a sight that said this several years ago so I can’t be sure that this is a fact but with having seen more than on I would suspect it is not to far off being a bolt up swap. Bolt up swap? I don't think so. There is no way that leaf springs bolt up the the strut towers. I would agree that it is pretty simple in that you take the cab and bed off the frame, then you cut where you need to to fit the Z shell on the frame and make it fit from there, but it's not even close to a bolt up swap... Looks like it has a pretty decent departure angle. Hood sticks out a bit far in the front though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 ok, you guys are all wrong. I talked to the owner a couple of years back at the Zs by the Bay show. It's actually a nissan patrol chassis (aussie chassis) that the car rides on, and he drove up the car from socal for the show.

Ah, so I was close Datsun = Nissan (sorta). That's good enough for me. At least I was quasi-right about something. Although it's not really for me, the swap looked pretty good in person. It's not a shameful thing, like a 240Z on 35"'s as stated above... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I dont think it looks that bad. The body actually looks really good. Ehhh, no loss, just a 2+2 Its still a Z isnt it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I've seen a few others similar to that.. an old Volvo P1800s on 38's, sitting on a bronco frame, and a volkwagen rabbit gti on a suziki tracker frame/running gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
