hammeredscout Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Name is Rick and i'm in SoCal... I'll try too keep this buildup current and concise with photos. Plans for the Z is to build a clean Driver not too interested in crazy power or restoration obsession. I bought a RB25 out of Craigslist for $1900 included harness,trans,Rad, June 2008 I tried jamming in my junk Datsun 1200 but it wouldn't fit unless I got a new Turbo manifold since the turbo was sitting on top of the steering box So I found a Clean unmolested 240Z on Craigslist for a $1000 bucks I just test fit it and realize I need rear sump pan. That's it for now till I get a pan then I'll make some mounts. For the Mods if this isn't the correct protocol for buildup threads delete it.

usmcgetsome Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i know your not gonna go crazy on restoring but plz take care of the rust. You got a nice motor and even that needs some attention. It doesn't take much to clean it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammeredscout Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm losing interest in this project and could use the cash. $3900 obo. Call Rick at 626 227-6025 for details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenJammin Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 That was quick Shoving turbo RB motors into Z's takes a lot of motivation and/or funds. I know, I'm doing the same thing and battle (with the aforementioned motivation and funds) all the time. You seem to have started off strong though, seems a shame to give it up.
