1978 Dastun 280Z
This car is incredible. Stupid fast with approximately 450 brake horsepower and only 2720 pounds VERY solid 280z, floors and rails are in great shape, except for a few jack dents. All doors, locks, hatch and hood open and close nicely A couple of small bubbles in the paint in front of the passenger rear wheel. This is not a hack job conversion. Gets lots of compliments on how "clean" the swap is. Engine is an 6.0 LY6 engine out of a 2008 Silverado 2500HD Factory L92 heads LS3 intake manifold from a 2010 camaro Corvette throttle body PSI wire harness, keeps it looking tidy under the hood TSP 225/230 cam with hardened push rods and dual springs with titanium retainers Tuned for the cam using HP tuners and wide band O2 sensor. Starts, idles and runs like it should. T56 6 speed manual transmission Z06 clutch Taurus style fan, has not over heated on me Full length 1-3/4" stainless steel headers 3" single exhaust with turbo style muffler Sway bars Eibach springs Strut tower braces Runs and drives great, did a ~350 mile round trip road trip a few weeks ago, no problems. Got 25.4 mpg combined hwy/town mountain driving. Car ran 12.5@116 mph on normal street tires at Bandimere which is 5800 above sea level Easily a low 11 second 12X mph car at sea level with traction. Bad: Still has stock open diff r200 and axles, haven't given me any problems Brakes are still stock, fine for street, not fine for going fast Dash is cracked, aren't they all? Paint is showing its age, it still gets compliments, but I'm picky Heat and AC are not hooked up, will include 2500HD compressor if you can figure out how to mount it, will still need condenser, dryer and lines There are some holes in the floorboard and wheel wells from a roll cage No antenna for the stereo |

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
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.
