This is my 1978 Datsun 280Z. I have owned this car for over 25 years. I have added front and rear sway bars, Tokico springs and 5-way adjustable struts, roll bar, 17 inch wheels with 225-45 tires, and limited slip rear end. Corbeau leather seats and 6-point harness. We completely stripped the car, painted it and replaced all the weather strip, carpet, seats, etc. I have always wanted to put a V8 in it. This winter it is happening.
I wrote that just over two years ago. Take a look at the build pics and let me know what you think. I continue to make small improvements in the car, but I gotta tell you- I LOVE DRIVING THIS CAR! I am out in it every chance I get. The sounds, the torque, the handling, did I mention the torque?
This is the old straight six, slightly modified.
New engine- from a 2005 GTO with 3509 miles. It is an LS2 with 400HP and 400LBS torque.
Corbeau Lether seats were a Christmas gift from my wife, Vicki.
Steering wheel from MSA
Vicki's Z- sometimes she lets me drive!
