[sqweekyknee]

[yayo828384]

What wheels are those??

[stratwarrior]

ahhh, the sound and looks, it is so secksy!!!

[anobxyo]

the right door is a bit loose i think

[Red97Avenger]

i want your z !

[ea1k1]

Thanks 510rob. I'm know what you mean about the sound. Can't even compare it! I'm on a budget of no more than $12K for a nice "streetable" car and minimal track time. My car goes in for surgery very very soon.

[ea1k1]

Is this car in the Vancouver area?? I swear I've seen this car before at a Datsun meet in North Vancouver. My car is going into the shop to get an RB25 or KA24DE. yeah yeah, big differences but I'm an indecisive bast*ard and don't know what my goal is in terms of what I want with my 260Z.

[510rob]

Yes it is in the GVRD area. It won best modified Z in the September All Nissan meet two years in a row.

You want a deal-breaker? Stick with the inline six. Sure a KA24 will make lots of power and it will give better weight distribution, and it's lighter, ...but it will never sound as good as even a dog of an inline six, and the RB25 is no dog.

[innie721]

wow this is exactly what i want, including megasquirt, but its all too complicated for me. niiice

[heymisterderp]

Fine work...congrats!

[bordone]

i plan i doing a similiar mod to an early z with the RB plant. Those welds looked kind of sloppy did they hold?

[bnztech]

this really makes me want an early Z

[datsunmotorsports]

Your like the "anti-Ray" Cause Im Ray and my 260Z is Blue with a black hood. At least I didnt megasquirt my RB25 cause that would have just been weird. I am building a MSnS Roadster though. Wish I could tig aluminum. Nice and clean. Maybe if I ever run across the right manifold I will put the Mitsimushi FMIC on mine too.

[510rob]

You must be Bizzaro Ray!

The intercooler is an offshore eBay thing, not a Mitsu. It works really well.

The manifold is a Greddy copy, intended for some kind of Skyline. We cut and welded it as seen in the montage (that's right, a montage!)

The MSnS Roadster sounds cool - is it a U20, or did you swap engines to a KA or SR or CA? (or heaven forbid an L-series!)

[datsunmotorsports]

I have 3 U20 engines one stock in the car, the numbers matching engine U20 with the MSnS, and a parts engine. I have a T28 ready for the MSnS Roadster once Im done building the bottom end.

I would be very interested in getting a copy of your MS program for one of my other projects.

[Pigioto1]

what wrong with an L-series? =P

nice car by the way =]

[thebluemaggot]

I use to have a 1982 280zx with power steering. I am curious how does the steering feel on the early Z's that had manual steering. are the easy to handle and how well does the road turbulence transfer thought the steering wheel. I like feeling the grit of the road through my steering wheel. do you have to man handle the steering wheel to get it to turn or does it turn relatively easy?

[Ashe360]

ummm.... you got a brake light out :)

[xlxexcxlxaxixrx]

i was wondering if you knew why my 260 z won't turn over. my dad started the engine up 2 weeks earlier. now it won't, we have a new battery and the positive and negative cable is giving power out, but the engine still wont turn over, is there something i need to do, or can do???

[ZachAnderson19]

Yeah, check your solenoid, make sure that and your started solenoid have a good connection. More than likely you'll have to clean all your connections, and/or replace a solenoid.

[marcelomack]

see this kinda work make me happy!

[ZUL8RR]

good stuff man =]

Dave =]

[LegionnaireENR34]

looks like it leans out sixth cylinder even worse now. Nice work nonetheless

[mshawari1]

RWHP ???????????

[killthemall1986]

[510rob]

It's an FTDI-based port
