@coyotegary just to make haters hate? that's fair enough... it will make it even better when i've got my z built and kick your ass in a street race ;)
I have a 67 Mustang GT500E Super Snake... Ported polished balanced blueprinted AND supercharged 429 Cobra... 920 rwhp and 600 ft lbs of torque..Very rare car...Inherited from my dad and mom...Your 2001 Roushe series sounds great...It's a mustang..Mine's just a little more classic :)
WOW that is the best 260z i have seen great job your son would be very proud and have a big smile while looking down on you from heaven great job the next step would to replace the engine with a rb26det if you want to take it to the next level but dont do a thing to the body it is sex on wheels i would go down on that thing 4 hours
That is one badass ride brother, I love that you stuck to your guns and kept the I6, they wind up beautifully and sound awesome. What kind of HP #'s does it make? Nice work and I'm sorry for the loss of your son, he would have been blown away by the final result. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, that thing rocks!!
really love the look of the car, beautiful! would have prefered a V8 in it instead, perhaps just a little 302/351 winsdor just to tie in with the cobra connection?
i am hoping my son is happy with the project. it was his first and only car. he has since passed away and has never seen his car re done in this direction.therapy for me mostly....
hey man..very awesome car..very odd too i love it..but..its missing one thing i think..no offense or anything but i think it would look better with a front grill on it..instead of having that large space in the front..but either way its still an amazing car
Great project. I would have used the Triple carb setup myself. But, I like the sound and performance better. Although, I have not seen a comparison with a Triple DCOE 45, vs. a good tuned Holley/Edelbrock on an L series. You put a lot of work into that car. Shows, and looks amazing. Congrats!
im so sick. all these years i thought my dream car was a 70 camaro with all the new power toys. instead its a datsun with an I6! unique car to say the least. ur a true craftsman. hope its not to personal, but what did it cost to build?
glad you like it. it was a 9 month project and alot of work. my brother and myself did all the work so labor costs were at a minimum. i invested $25K in the project
Great ride! Very good of you to stick with the 6cyl! I own a First Gen 69 Firebird, 4.1L OHC I6 Cyl. I get more looks and conversations at the local cruise nights than the V-8 crowd with their cookie cutter setups. :)
very nice car, i wish you would have kept the original dashboard though, body kit is great looking, but i have one question what did you do with the battery? looks nice with it hidden
totally custom car front to back, inside and out , so i saw no reason to keep a stock heavy dash full of levers and knobs that would have no function. it is a lightened race car so now it has a 2 pound dash with only gauges. no fans, no heat , no a/c, no stereo...... battery is sunken into the rear floor next to the fuel cell
sweet car loving the old school l series i think the only thing that i would have done differently is considering your already running skyline rear suspention why not run a tt rb26 in it it would give you the powerplant of a skyline to go with it but thas just me i would love to do i skyline drivetrain in a z car :P
i have 35 years factory experience working on Nissans. i build these engines myself and know every bolt that goes into making them work as well as the trannys. with the mods that have been done to it the power is very acceptable to the weight of the car.i enjoy building and working on it myself. i just got back from driving it over 150 miles to the track raced it 8 runs all day long and drove it home after a full day of racing. zero issues all day and night. so i ask you....why a V8?
BEAUTIFUL car!!!
