My z

kinda new here never post till a couple days ago when people where curious about my z so ill say hi. <http://www.260z.photosite.com/> was my first sight. kinda goes through all the work i did to her.

im the 2nd owner of this z. the 1st owner got it right off the assembly line and has been kept in louisiana its whole life. i bought her for 1500, so i was really not complaining bc 100 bucks he brought it to my house. wont forget it bc i was taking my act test and rushed it and still got a 22


she did have rust but was the best out of the many i was looking at. took 2 years to find this poors man porshe.

<http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f198/260zturbo/260z/> is my 2nd website
the car as off right now is white and black. i have the new paint and will be painting this fall. its a badass silver metalic/pearl mmm. anway

led tail lights, the body is not perfect but soon will be fixed soon as school is out.

car has alot of goodies. over time i came across great deals.
right now the car is a little different. ill try to get some updated pics this weekend.

early 1974 s30,the car has fg cowl hood,bre wing,i guess jdm tail lights with led lights, front 280 spoiler, hid headlights/covers,intercooler,griffin rad, 2.5 intercooler piping with a greddy bov,60mm tb thats cable operated. electric fan, ported and polished intake, 440cc injectors, pallnet fuel rail, mn47 head(high quench head like the e88) on a n42 block with dish pistons, 9:1 comp ratio. the block has arp bolts on the crank and head, turbo oil pan and turbo dizzy,msd 7al ignition,msd coil, msd wires, msII with relay,lc1, custom 2.5 ss downpipe, 2.5 exhaust to a 3.0 borla muffler, 240sx tranny with a alum flywheel with a 6puck clutch, custom driveshaft, 3.7lsd, inside has autoguage tach,boost,water temp and fuel,(still stock speedometer ) aftermarket steeringwheel,rollbar, recardo seats,5 point harness on both sides, strut bars inside and outside, sits on custom coilovers(7 inch colar),illuminas, huge sway bars, new energy bushings, huge wilwoods superlights up front and wilwoods in the back all have 4 pistons(way overkill), sits on some old school eneki mesh rims 15x8 with es100, i just bought some rota rb 15x8. should be on my door step soon i cant wait. their prob more but i cant think of at this moment. well thats my z so be gentle. oo yea kinda weird but when i first got her i promised that the first z i would drive would be mine. i kept that promise for quite some time and finally got to drive her down the street, still tuning and need a windshield. i gotta be careful bc i can drop her down to the floor but ill bottom out pretty easily
when i first took her outside in a couple years. she will be changed greatly.
this paint



i have more work but just to keep me busy till i want to redo something

Did you build that motor? I'm just trying to make out what you described... it's a turbo, but not an L28ET? Are you using a stock turbocharger?

And is that first pic of the same car? Because it went from early front turn signals to late 280z grill turn signals... which is backwards to me.

i did rebuild the motor, stock t3 for the moment. the car is a early 260 which had early bumpers. i sold them i went for the no bumper look. its a 240 grill still. i just got some side markers and fabed them to turn signals . took off the stock side markers and replaced them with some hyundai side markers, not really backwardsjust making it clean. i got the air dam for 60 bux. early grills have a mounting part in the middle where connects to the rad support
