I won't lie, when this thing is heading towards the camera, it's so fast it looks like the scenes are sped up or some cheesy sci-fi f/x! this thing is wicked!
omg.... id so pay that, thats the way to go... even tho your paying ove blue book... it doesnt matter because you dont have to pay to build the car. Im 11k into a car worth 3 and almost want to give up
what are you looking to get for it? I already have a nos 260z dash in my rb26dett 260z, but if you are offering a great deal, I may pick up a extra... lmk
there is a significant weight difference between early 240zs and 260zs/280zs. about 200-350 pounds, length, height are different as well. they do look very similar though. oh and of course engine displacement sizes but im sure you know that. i really like the 260zs dash.
Chassis dimensions are the same however. The major difference from the 260 and 240 are the extended frame rails in the 260, giving it a bit more chassis rigidity. A nice little perk, but there are plenty of aftermarket methods or custom methods to get the 240 to the same/better rigiity and still be lighter.
The length/height are only different because of the bumper bars for crash standards, and the suspension is higher. The dimensions of the car are still the same otherwise (Yes this is old)
Always fun replying to posts from 4 months ago- But yes, as mentioned if the engine is between the center of the front and rear wheels, its considered mid engine. It doesnt -have- to be behind the driver.
@wajalama I said that a car without power steering is much MORE responsive. I feel like cars without power steering are much better for racing. I guess it depends on the racing.
Awesome car. Are you working on a Power steering solution? that'd make it quite a bit quicker around a circuit, if that's what youre into. :) Beautiful work, man.

Wow, just found all of this. This is my car, unfortunately I sold it about a year ago to focus on racing in a more appropriate car for the classes.
As to how much - you don't want to know! Probably $50k at least was put into this car.

Well, I'm not Amir, this isnt my car. And power steering would make the car less sharp and responsive, and would be more sluggish and slow.

@6i9 You have obviously never driven a z. Or a car without power steering. The car is much more responsive, you can actually feel out the steering.

@moderns30 LOL, are you saying that cars with power steering are better for the track?

@wajalama I said that a car without power steering is much MORE responsive. I feel like cars without power steering are much better for racing. I guess it depends on the racing.

@moderns30 Ah, then in that case, I agree with you :)
I think the guy that posted this video was also saying that cars with no power steering respond better, you just misread his comment lol
