_______ DATSUN 260 Z __________________________
Hello my name is Sean and I live in San Diego Ca. This is my 1974
Datsun 260z . This is the third Z-Car that I have had the pleasure
to own. I have been working on her for about two years now, most of
that time I was unable to buy the parts I wanted due to lack of money. Since I
am building her on a budget, I have been empravising and rigging up to the
best of my abilities. I have about 15 years of backyard mechanics and
fabrication so hopefully this project Z will come out ok. The first two I
consider my learning cars and now I want to make this 260Z into the car I
always wanted. I do have plans of driving her hard and fast on occation, as
well as have her be as reliable as a daily driver Datsun should be.
{Interior} I have been redoing the interior, and it is almost finished. Most
recently I installed a JVC Ipod stereo, and Two 300 Watt 6x9's behind the
seats. I was able to mount some tweeters at the corners on the dash.
The Seats are new, Tyoe R style racing seats. Racing 4 point harnesser that
for now I have just mounted to the rear strut bolt. I mounted them directly to
the original rails with only re-drilling a few holes. The Steering Wheel is the
Wooden GT Grant, with a Z sticker covering the emblem. With walnut
Motorsport Auto shift knob, for the original 4 speed tranny. I also added the
full dash cover, in which I am very happy with. Most of the carpet I bought in
the roll from the local Walmart.
{Body} I have installed the Generation 2 body kit from MotorSport. Hood pins
installed at top of hood. I plan to paint her soon so I have been hand sanding
the many layers of green and flat black off. I am having the side bumpers
stripped and filled and there is a BRE spoiler on the way. The rims are XXR
16x7 in the front and 16x8 in the rear.
Thank you for viewing and please leave feedback.
