yet another project + intro

[shanec86]

Hi all, im shane and i have got myself another project.

260z 2+2

 

The car itself only has some rust in the front cross member, the rest of the body is super straight. No rust in the floors or anywhere else visible for that matter. It has a brand new bonnet and flutes, new panel under the windscreen. The engine is a holden 5lt V8 with aussie 4 speed that has a few goodies, 2x 45 webers, edelbrock manifold, oil cooler etc.

My dad bought this car a few years ago but never got a chance to do anything with it. I have just purchased it from him and plan to do somthing!

 

To start off with will sort out the body and get some paint on it, then start fidling with the rest to get it running.

 

Not sure if the 308 will stay, if not i have plenty of engines in the garage that could end up in it at this point.

i have a rb30e bottom end, and a complete rb25det. Could be looking at an RB30D w/ triple webers. Also have a VH41 supposed to be going in one of my skylines, but could end up in this.

 

few pics from when it was bought home:

All the best with the Z, love those 45's shame it's not a quad set up.

Hey Shane fancy seeing you here!

Looks like a great project, interesting intake setup.

Is the car engineered for the V8?

Bring on the V8's.

haha boat anker don't you mean ....ar LS1s are ok im hanging sh t on 620z not your car

I might not be the tried and tested path but it sure is unique with the 45s. I vote to keep the configuration and just tidy it up. It would make one heck of an interesting car.

thanks for the welcome guys

 

agno, didnt get anything else done, i got sidetracked and took the pulsar for a spin after moving it to get the Z out haha

 

the car isnt engineered with the V8, it was interstate anyway, nor do i think the previous owner ever had it running.

i think i might hold onto the v8 for now, it does look pretty weird in their hey hahaha

 

got a few pics of it before, slid it around on the dolley jacks and now ill be able to work on it.

 

Dummy fit up the front lip from my brothers Z (which he is on here too i think acdc-5, he has a black,caged, track spec 260z 2seater in the build) also the flares. i think he has a spare of the front lip so ill be using one, although i wont have the diffuser and the canards like this one does

 

i think ill make an actual build thread, but ill throw the pics up here for now:

Dimitri,

 

Somehow I think you may have stumbled across a cache somewhere, and also, I know a Zed guy who has a 302 Cleveland set up that came out of a Zed that was totaled by a stray cow, PM me if you want his details.

 

Cheers
