WTF? You want to use 40yo tyres on a Z?! Are you crazy?!

If your only goal is to lower your Z, then just get some lower Kings springs: $300 for all 4. They will lower your Z by 30mm - any more than this & you'll run into geometry issues.

Well durr...

Peter, do you have the plastic tray with drain tube under the battery? If you don't, you MUST fit one.

Peter Mac was later - 1994 iirc.

As in the tray the battery sits in, or the bracket/mount that is spot welded to the inner guard that the battery sits on?

Brian also owns a white Z432R...

Don't forget you've got to fit your seat mounts to the floorpan...

Check out the Ozdat forum & Datsun Classifieds on FB for 1600's in your budget.

Yes, with a 280ZX bodykit.

Welcome Gyzmo. Are you any relation to 'Orgyzmo'?

Seen this? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15543-1976-260z-22-for-sale/

If you & Sharron aren't offended Gordo, Vic Datsun Day is close enough - maybe we have the Christmas BBQ there & kill 2 birds with one stone?

Could have washed it Dave!

Time for a long overdue update! Vic's 260Z is now basically finished, with some very minor works to be done. It's been a great project & I'm over the moon at the result - I think it looks amazing in gold with the white interior Biggest headache with the build was fitting it with air-conditioning, as it wasn't fitted with AC from the factory. Thanks to Pauly_Adams for the AC parts - however it still required a new pump, evaporator core & TX valve and receiver drier. And thanks must also go to Peter (PB260Z) for helping out with the AC install & procuring a replacement Fuel/Volts gauge. And Vic's pretty happy with the outcome as well!

I did 'LOL' at that - well played sir!

I can supply you a new Nissan pin & circlip Doug. Les might have a spare shifter... I'll get back to you.

Next year Mofo's!

Would have been helpful if you'd posted that info in the first place! You'll be fine up to 10.8:1 with 32 - 34deg timing on PULP98, with those spces Jason.

Works for me. Nice photos Bruce.

You've just answered your own question, Jason.
