So about 11 months ago i found this 260z 2 seater with a holden 308 red motor, so i decided to snap it up and sell my 2+2...
it was owned by the previous owner for about 20 years, the owner did the engine conversion and got it engineered in the late 80s.
all the rust was cut out and re painted in 2pac about 5 years by his son who worked at a body shop... and its still looks fantastic!!
i dont know too much about the engine except that its a 308 red motor possible out of a ht going but my quick research... its been rebuilt with a mild cam, it has double valve springs, electronic ignition, a rebuit quadrajet, and it runs on normal unleaded now.. the owner also said it has a balanced crank etc..
the gearbox is a W50 toyota celica 5 speed with a hadfield bellhousing
diff is R200 3.7 but i may change it to the 3.3 (if i can find one) or possibly a 3.5 down the track..
the car had a roadworthy done when i bought it..
replaced rear diff mount
new tie rod ends
new lower ball joints
new front lower control arm bushes
front uni joint replaced
i have done a few bits and pieces over the past few months but ill put some updates up later..
here are a few photos in from a couple of weeks after a bought it exactly as i got it.
enjoy
