dhp123166 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 This is the guy who questioned the point of doing a taillight swap? S130 taillights in an S30 just look boring (to me). This looks exciting (again, to me). I haven't ruffled any feathers have I? I'm ever so sorry if I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I saw one of these advertised in my local Auto Trader about ten years ago where the chassis had been split at the firewall, and the front end tilted forwards and the cab and rear tilted backwards. Not sure if the chassis was at all complete on the underside or what the deal was, but it was WILD.... and MUUUUCH taller than this little old thing. I'm not an off-roader, but if you're gonna drop an American V8 into the thing.... then how can you fault doing THAT?!? Even to one who prefers a civilized road course, muddins' FUN!!!! That car just screams YEEEHAW, whether you are a fan of yee-haw or not. Can you imagine the mud drifting??? Besides, I can counter with this... This is a Subaru XT-6 with a soobie d/r 4wd gearbox, nissan transfer case and some custom frame work: more here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Check out this site for quite a few of these "conversions". http://www.jtruck.net/misc/4x4cars/ I think the Z that Daeron is talking about is pictured there. http://www.jtruck.net/misc/4x4cars/S_DatsunZ.jpg Edited September 29, 2009 by jbk240z typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBill Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 To me putting it on a 4x4 chassis is LESS of a deal than swapping in an American V8! Especially if it's on a Datsun chassis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplyedmind Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That Z is 1 of a kind and that Dolorian is Marty MC FLY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey I'm also a 4x4'er and I think that Z is disgusting, but hey it's his vehicle, and at least he didn't frack up a series I. That being said. it looks like he did a decent job on the converision. I would like to see under the hood, and how he did the interior. I would hope he'd done twin sticks, and maybe some real gearing. but the frame he's got looks like it's from a Jeep YJ. (note the leaf springs, and body mounts) I guess I can't fault the guy, I mean he loves driving a Z, and what's wrong with wanting to drive it everywhere? Though I bet he cut down his quarter mile time and top speed a little. In my YJ, on 33's I can't get about about 80MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZXR_KiD Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 makes me wonder if the 240x4 is the guy on the IH Scout forums who was talking about doing a similar project, he mentioned finding a Z in a junkyard then dissappeard, IF its his, the plan was to put an "oddball sports car body" as he put it, on a '77 Scout II that had been rolled down a valley, supposedly had a IH345 V8 all rebuilt and ready to go, so it should be quite a beast. I beleive I've seen that delorean on a TV show actually, if I recall it was built out of NOS parts off the racks, don't remember the company but someone had purchased EVERYTHING from DMC and warehouses/sells em for restorations.
