Comrade_Charlie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I guess Ill go ahead and make a thread about my turdcutter. I got it for 75 bucks, and so far this project has costed me 300-400 including price of car. Specs of this race car -1978 l28e(hope it works) -1978 4spd manual -1981 turbo parts 90k milage on parts car I had(crushed it) -1985 300zx maf(not hooked up) -1983 turbo dist. -1985 turbo injectors, 260cc, with new fuel lines(obviously) -1983 starter, dont know if its original or reman, all i know i got it for 18 bucks from a JY -1981 oil pump and pan -still havnt installed the z31 wiring harness and turbo 85 ecu. -hacked up stock harness -everything else is stock Exterior -walmart spray paint!! I just sanded the surface rust and painted over it with black paint, and had fun with whatever red paint i found. -1981 mirror on driver side, dont know if im going to put it on both sides I like just one mirror. the s130 mirror does look out of place but I like it more than the s30 one. -everything else is stock inteior -just got some seats, didnt come with any. -no floor pans -no ignition, hanging push button(it was like this when I got it), I dont even know where I put the keys to this car. and it has no title LOL. but here in south carolina there are ways to get around that. Rust: it has bad floor pans, not much rust under the seat area but mainly where your legs go. suprisingly this is what I would say a 90% rust free car... the battery tray has surface rust and thats it. the fenders are good, the front valance is iffy, the rear suspension is rusty but not bad. the inside of the fender wells are good. im happy with it, and think i can manage that much rust. some surface rust on roof. but its strait. anyway here are pictars Got this seat for 20 bucks, Im picking up the other one soon!, I think it was a steal, needs to be washed. a intior shot, before I got the seat, after I get this running good im going to start on floor pans. The donor car(friends v8 project, he sold it a while back), its a 2+2 so that means I have the good flywheel and clutch. I put oil on the clutch so it wouldnt rust when I changed the oil pan, but it may slip now cuz of oil but if it does ill get a cheap ebay gripforce clutch... im trying to see how much of this car I can use used nissan parts . so far its going good. the 78 motor, and my 1990 maxima in the back ground, nissan ftw any way thats all for now, ill be starting the wiring and if it runs right ill try to make a right up.
