hey guys, just thought i’d share some pics of my new summer driver.
drove out to Moody Texas, near Waco, a couple of weeks ago to pick it up from my uncle.
details:
'77 datsun 280z
L28 with old school Bae turbo kit
5 spd manual
he gave it to me because it has a leaky head gasket, oddly enough it’s just air escaping and no mixing of fluids. so i’ve got a rebuilt cylinder head, new gaskets, and ARP head studs to remedy the situation. hopefully i’ll have it on the road by next weekend.
pics…
:tup:
Wow that thing is pimp.
Needs like, minus 1980237198237 vacuum lines tho lol
looks awesome glw the built/tune up
That’s a beautiful machine!
Very cool car.
thanks guys, i hope it all goes well.
i’m really liking the straight six in it, seems to be a lot easier to work on than my saab and possibly even my trans am.
Awesome pickup. car looks minty.
love it, great car man
Let me know when you want to get rid of this 
looks good. get some 240z bumpers on there
Ugh. I love it. Is that the legit mileage? Or did it spin once?
Very Cool :tup:
just had a car like this in my garage for a little paint work, neat cars but was a little different trying to find the door handle from the inside
makes sense though when you think about it, considering how low you’re sitting
that is the original mileage, the tires on it are even still from '82.
i need to replace those.
very neat :tup:
Nice, thats a cool turbo setup. Take it to the zccr meet in rochester in July, its a fun show.
cool :tup:
looks like a nice car… what kind of hp/tq?
