Barra260Z

A L26 with all accs weighs around 220kg??

I definitely will be getting all the power train Yeah the gearxoes are pretty sweet in them

You can shift it Manual with the triptronic style so best of both worlds I think but everyone's differnt

Yeah should be pretty good when it's done Keeping the engine pretty stock, for now hha

I will have to no doubt I am hoping its very quick haah

the "rules" are not actual rules they are guidelines as to what you can do, so if you are wanting to go above 3600cc forced induction Then you have to show "due cause" by adding extra strengthung, bracing and safety aspects to the car,

Gday Guys my dream of owning a 260z started when I was young I remember seeing photos of them and thinking I would love to own one someday about 18 months ago my brother bought a Datsun 1200 ute and I decided i couldn't be left out and It was time to buy a Datsun myself after cruising around on the internet for a few months I found a 2+2 and took the leap and bought it, thankfully i got it for the right price and thankfully it was pretty strait and fairly rust free although someone had done a not so fantastic job of spraying it, after getting her regod I made the choice to remove the L26 and auto and put in a rb25det and do a manual conversion after completing the conversion a few months later I decided to pull the engine back out to restore the engine bay which after 40 years of neglect had seen better days, i know, i should have done this before putting the rb in there but i was excited ahaa thankfully there was no rust that went any deeper than surface on the chassis rails and firewall and after hours and hours of sanding and priming the engine bay looked much much better whilst the engine was out i had been borrowing my brothers non turbo xr6 fg 6 speed manual ute i was impressed with how the engine went and after a couple of jokes about barras he convinced me ( im easily convinced) to do a fg xr6t engine conversion, so that's what i am doing after consulting a local engineer he has given me the go ahead for the conversion with the specific set of guidelines, i have to seam weld the engine bay, inside the car, chassis bracing and upgrade the brakes and a few other bits a pieces i found a cheap non turbo barra engine ($100) locally to mock up making the engine mounts and to figure out the right postion of the engine etc while i hunt around for decent price complete conversion package for the ecu i will be using a Haltech elite 2500T aswell as full haltech wiring harness/loom, originally i wanted to use a 6 speed manual but have decided that i will most likely use a 6 speed auto ( still kinda deciding) as far as diff/suspension i have r200 LSD and z 31 upgrades shafts, will be using maddat coilovers all round with r33 gtr front calipers and r31 rears ( thanks to mark from street weapon restorations) if all goes to plan in the next 4-5 weeks engine will be in and running, the next stage is to do all the rest to get it driving so i will deffinnatly post pics and videos when it has been finished in the meantime i will upload the current photos i have of the car cheers guys

G'day guys As most of you will no doubt know that the lower control Arm spindle pins are sometimes very hard to get out and sometimes need to be cut out I got lucky with mine after spraying them with penetrating oil for a few days in a row I was able to Knock mine out with a drift I made up Being a fitter/machinist by trade I was going to make new ones myself as the thread on both ends had seen better days and wasn't really repairable ( was damaged before it hit them out) I rang Nissan and used the part number I found on Google ( after many searches) 55540-N3701 I bought them for $78.12c a pin Just a tip for anyone looking for these pins Cheers
