The time has come to replace this project with another Nissan, as much as I loved this car I want to get something a bit more comfy.
I'm willing to sell this car as a whole the way it sits or part everything out.
I'll try to be as detailed as possible, no bullshiting around.
Its a 1974 260z with molded in flares and built sr20det swap. Last time i had the car dynoed it put down 418whp on dyno dynamics and that was only at 20psi. The hot side is a bit small and adding boost did nothing for us.
What the car needs:
Paint and body:
Its painted BMW titanium silver now, but there are some rust spots now. One of the rear flares has some damage, nothing that cant be easily fixed by a body shop. rear hatch has some cracks around the lock and lock itself is broken. Shes been sitting in a garage for about a year and key has gone missing. Last time i drove the car was early 2012 before i started removing all interior tar/sound deadening which is mostly gone now.
Rails were redone by Vinny from destruction warehouse.
She really needs paint to shine again =)
Interior:
I removed 99% of 40 year old sound deadening, so I don't have the carpet as I was planning on replacing it with a new one.
I have 350z black cloth seats that were in the car before.
Dash was made out of aluminum by autowerks. I don't have a rollbar anymore that might be on some of the pictures. Heater works but there is no a/c
Motor:
Everything works, but I dont have aem ems anymore, so the car doesnt have ems at all(this is why I lowered the price from previous price of 8k).
There is a good deal on series 2 ems on zilvia website in electronics sections, 899 for a brand new one.
With ems and base map installed You can just drive off from my driveway, it would take less then 20 minutes to install it.
It basically has new motor that isnt even broken in yet, about 200 miles on the bottom end and maybe a 1000 on most other things. Motor was build by Project X Customs
Tune was done by ILL garage.

They were re finished by wheels of america 2 years ago, which included new powder coat and polish but since the car has been sitting they need a re-polish.
They are 3 piece. 15x8 front and 15x9 rear, zero offset from what I know.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
