Guest Anonymous Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 Here are some pix....they're really only of the engine though (a buick GN swap)...can anyone tell me for sure what model Z car this is from these pics? <a href="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1273337&a=9427578"> 240Z?</a> Thanx Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 It's a 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z. I'd venture it's a 240, but I'm not positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 I'd put a lot of money on the fact its a 240z!! I recognised it in an instant... its Scottie-GNZ's car. ------------------ "THE STREETS WILL FLOW WITH THE OIL OF THE NON-BELIEVERS" Drax240z 1972 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 Thanks!!.....I took those pix when I was down in Florida to visit my dad and go to a hondaprelude.com meeting ....my project for next summer is going to be a 240Z with *some* sort of swap, so I need to start looking for a good donor car now ....just wanted to make sure that I wanted a 240 and not a 260/280.....

Scottie-GNZ Posted October 19, 2000 Share Posted October 19, 2000 Brian, is my car that odd-looking that you could not recognize it as a Z? Did we chat? ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z http://www.mindspring.com/~vscott911/gnz.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 21, 2000 Share Posted October 21, 2000 Hi Scottie! Yes, we chatted very briefly , but mostly just about how cool I thought the car was.....it was the first time you had gotten it to the strip (6/4/2000...I think?) and you said you were having problems with the engine twisting the chassis, or something like that, and ran like a 12.4 in the 1320' ...I was out there at the drag strip with a group from hondaprelude.com....I was almost completely positive your car was a 240Z, but couldn't remember exactly and thought I'd post on this site to make absolutely sure ...Tom only took engine pix of the car, so I didn't have any side views to refresh my memory..... I'd love to hear how the car is coming along if you want to drop me an email or something ....It was, after all, what convinced me that I wanted an engine-swapped Z car of my own!

Scottie-GNZ Posted October 25, 2000 Share Posted October 25, 2000 Brian, sorry if I do not remember you specifically, but I remember the first visit to the track for the GN setup and talking to a lot of folks. I was still running the stock motor mounts and had no way to tie down the engine. The GN makes a lot of low end torque and the DP was actually hitting against the strut tower under power. I just wanted to see what the car would do and was easing it off the line. I have since gotten a polyurethane motor mount to fix that problem and to date have gone 11.50 @ 120+ and scaring the hell out of 10s ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z http://www.mindspring.com/~vscott911/gnz.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
