daw260z

Gold, you have no idea how much i needed that laugh.

I realise that the car does not look like much. The rust you can see is surface rust / rust buster where the metal has been replaced with new sheet. A light sand blast and it is ready for painting. Really the value is in the extras and the car is free considering what i have spent on all the extra parts. This car has a lot of potential. Even posting the pics makes me want to cancel the sale, so only reasonable offers will be considered.

More Pics

That is why I haven't posted any ...til now :'(

Hi all. My 260z is still for sale/ for sale again. Willing to take $3800 for the lot. I need it gone. :'(

Bump, Will take reasonable offers. Or any if you ask my wife

Its a 2+2

Bargain...Damn Forgot to mention the car is still registered till May and comes with the original auto box and a spare pedal for the manual conversion.

It is with much sadness that i find myself needing to sell my 260z. Ironically I have just purchased a house with a large shed, including a mechanics pit, but unfortunatly the renovation has drained the budget so the hobby has to go. :'( The car is a 1977 260z. There was rust in the usual places but over half has been cut and replaced with new metal. None is yet bogged so can easily be inspected. Currently it is a rolling shell with the windows still in. I was preparing to finish the rust than get the car blasted before painting so there is a bit of surface rust on the rew steel but nothing to worry about. The extras include: New set of Hyperflex Suspension Bush Kit 1 Box of Bostick Rubber adhesive sound proofing Front spoiler and rear skirt (280z style) Enough Rust bullet paint to do the engine bay and inside the car Full Set of Fiberglass Flares ( Mould in type) New hatch Panel from Rare spares ( Ready to Fit) Finished Headlight upgrade Honda Wiper Motor Conversion (All Working) Plus all the little extras i can find in the shed. The original engine is a bit tired but could be fixed up if desired. I had planned a RB25 conversion and would like to sell the all the parts i have collected as one bundle. Included in the engine package is the RB25det engine, 5 speed manual gearbox, intercooler and piping, skyline tailshaft, skyline exhaust, all the skyline electronics like aircon etc, ecu and loom. Basically all the usefull stuff that you would need from a skyline. I also have an engineered cross member, engine mounts and gearbox mount to suit the conversion. All that is needed is the modified sump, of which there is a spare waiting to be chopped up if need be. There are basically enough parts to get the engine in and running with the option of having electronically controlled climate control. I am really hesitant to sell so please no time wasters. I am asking for $5500 firm for the whole lot. Bring a car trailer and a ute and its all yours. I know that the car doesnt seem like much but the extras will definately keep you going without much extra outlay for a while. I would prefer to sell it all together but if anyone wants to make offers on the car, engine or gearbox seperately i may be interested . Price drop $5000 ono Pics to come.

Congrats mate, my wife is half way along with our first so I can imagine how thrilled you must be. Great to see he is all well and nice to know you will finally have some support for watching sport. All the best mate, Drew

I just did this upgrade on my 260z. I used the following and it works perfectly. 260z Honda Blue---------------Pin 87 Blue White-------Pin 86 Blue Red----------Pin 85-------------------Pin 85-----------Green Black Yellow-------------Pin 87A-----------------Pin 87A----------Blue White Pin 30-----------Blue Black------------------------------------------------------------Black Blue Yellow----------------------------------------------------Blue Yellow Hopefully it all makes sense. I tried a few different ways and this was the only way I got all settings to work.

Does anyone know if the S13W(B) calipers will work with the TP magna rotors. From what I have found the later model calipers suit a 25mm rotor and I think the TP magna rotor is 25mm but just wanted to check first.

Thanks Mick, Thats what I thought but was getting confused by a few forums where it said that you didnt have to splice into the existing harness but rather unplug the old and put in the new. I will give it a whirl and hopefully I dont, end up in the dark. Thanks again mate Drew

Hi all, I have started looking at installing relays and halogen globes instead of the original sealed beams on my 260z. I have looked through all the forums I can find and have a number of different wiring diagrams but have one issue. I am not sure where to splice the wires that go from the relay to the switch. Most of the drawings show a plug that can be used to connect the new harness to the old. This is no issue on the headlight end but I can find the best place at the switch end. As far as I can see I have four wires from the headlights that run through the firewall and from there it is hard to follow. Ask me to build you a kitchen and I can do it in my sleep, but I am a real novice when it comes to wiring, but keen to learn. Hopefull I am not asking a stupid question but any advice would be welcome. Cheers

Just found all the details on hybrid z. I plan to try it tomorrow. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/17385-improving-the-wiper-motor/?p=574139 Post #155 is where most of it really starts.
