Re: My "new" car
 

damn tj that is a sexy datsun, ive always wanted one, maybe when i finally finish school.

Re: My "new" car
 

when i wanted a z a couple years back i used to frequent hybridz.org (i think thats the site)...

the coolest swap i had seen, beside the RB and 2JZ was a GN 3.8 turbo with a corvette IRS. with your resources you could do better than the cookie cutter SBC swap.

Re: My "new" car
 

I agree. Do something off the wall and not so normal. Swap a D15 in it. :1

Re: My "new" car
 

The thing is I really want to go with a v8 though mainly for that nice sound ;)
engines of choice in order
ls2
ls1
lt1
rb26

That is the list I will go through when it comes time to drop an engine in but $$$ will play a big factor as this is just my daily beater my s2k is my real race car and any $$$ i put in this car takes away from the s2k

Re: My "new" car
 

I always debated what to put in my 280Z and always had a 13b in the back of my head. You should see the room in the engine bay after that. You could fit another 13b inside there. Instead I just picked up a T4 60-1 and some other things for it. Oh check out Hybridz.org and thats have everything covered front to back about swapping ---- into Z's. Motorsportauto.com has huge selection of stuff and the flares that you want. It's where I got mine. They carry alot of really nice carbon fiber body parts for it...hatch,hood and flares.

Re: My "new" car
 

Nice car! Thats one of the cleanest Z's ive seen in along tome.

Re: My "new" car
 

Great find! Looks to be in great shape, especially for the price. Love that silver one.

Re: My "new" car
 

Is that original paint? From the pics it looks beautiful. If it is, I say (as if you really want my opinion or anyone else's here :P) keep the paint and just focus on the motor...

anyways, kudos on finding a beautiful Z!

Re: My "new" car
 

no the guy who had it before painted it in his garage, it is original color but not original paint
it looks that good from 5 feet away but when you are up close you can see some runs and spots where dust got in it

Re: My "new" car
 

If you need any help on the LSx swap let me know. I have a ton of information in my head about those motors. We are talking about doing a tube framed LS series motor to go ice racing with next year. I work with a guy that has about 4 of them in his garage. He said the biggest problem is the rearend, but if you find all the crap from a 280 you will fine.
