sr71sss Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 well guys this is my first official Z, I have always had 510s but always lusted after this particular z, I was heavily influenced with the IMSA Z that raced in the mid 80s to early 90s... Price was right for me FREE:p:p:p Was built around the mid to late 80s and lived most of its life in the south san jose area next to IBM, can we say Bailey rd:-P:-P:-P Anyways I wanted to see if anyone knew more about this car as I would like to know a little history about it Conrad 650-302-5127 antioch,ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that buying parts and working from them would be easier than trying to start from scratch. Brian's parts are REALLY well done.

Challenger Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Awesome! As mentioned howd you get it for free? I would keep the tilt front end, Id want to keep it somewhat original. As mentioned, you change one piece and you might need to change more if it doesnt flow right. There were a billion different flares back in the day and who knows which one you have.

DrSideways Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Any chance on getting that rear profile shot of the rear flares??? From my initial look you may have a set of Devendorf IMSA rear flares. Getting molds made of these and selling some could really help out on the cost of getting your car back in good shape. The pic from the back would let me know exactly what you have.

DrSideways Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks for the rear profile photos. It appears you have the Frisselle rear set. Seen here: http://www.canepa.com/inventory/racecar_1/Datsun_240Z/index.html I am partial to the Devendorf profile seen here: http://zlalomz.googlepages.com/1154Mid-Ohio-1978-08-27-083.jpg/1154Mid-Ohio-1978-08-27-083-full.jpg The white Primadonna car also has the Devendorf profile on the rear. Looks like you will have a fun car to ride in. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have always been a sucker for a g-nose and fat flares -- love the look of your car! Good luck with the resto and keep the updates coming. jhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
