@KoyoTea They're not factory rims, but dealer installed... so not stock for Nissan but they've been on the car since it came to the states. A buddy and I welded parts of two Z exhaust systems together as a temporary setup.
The car can never be restored to factory, the original motor quit running back in the late 80's and the transmission blew out around 1998. No matching drivetrain numbers.
The car will just become a nice cruiser and perhaps semi-built for amateur circuit racing (someday).
@sdazulkrema Yeah thats an original shift knob and I'm pretty sure its REAL wood (unlike the steering wheel). It has a nice split in it at the side. I'm curious if it was a knob used from the factory, or a dealer add-on.
The slotted mags and louvered battery/clutch reservoir doors were also dealer installed. Back then Motorsport Auto didn't exist, as far as I know, and you had Jim Cook Racing accessories.
Thanks for posting, my friend had this car and I had a '73 Cutlass Salon in the early 80s. He loved it but I liked the Detroit muscle. I drive a RX8 now.
Of course I do! But she's non-op right now. I'm tired of driving with blown struts and there was a power drain that I JUST located today! On the way to gettin that fixed.
6 cylinders. 6, small, cylinders. But the thing revs for days for a stock motor.
And the head is an E31 model, with smaller combustion chambers. So, you gain a higher compression ratio (a good base ground for a naturally-aspirated future race car!)
Yeah.. I'm pissed. I just wonder if they catch music thats playing during the filming of the movie? If this is my video that has ZZ TOP playing, I actually dubbed that in on the comp. But I guess they can read the code.
That car is not original rims exaust and radio the horn is missing that car will be worth money if you restore it

@67bowtieguy yes, hold it, may you never get the chance to get one, and the engine is a dream ;)
I have to bear (?) with 4-cylinders ;)

Dude, youtube fuckers disabled your sound so we can't hear anything.
They blocked you because of the music you used.
