This is the single best looking Z I have ever seen. Beautiful work on the flares, very clean all the way through.

the music reminds me of gran turismo, but never has the game had a car as beautiful as this. absolute, unparallelled, timeless, perfection.

my favorite Z. i was thinking about this swap for my '71 years ago, but took a different direction. but this car is ultimate. and driven. extra kudos man. you are truly after my own heart.

Cars like this are why I want a Z so bad. The body/wheel color combo, the RB26DETT, the bars for chassis rigidity and the stripped-yet-still-daily-driver-friendly interior are all what I want in a car like this. So... So jealous...

It's very simple: rollcage, Sparco seats, stock console and dash, CF door panels, a few small custom CF pieces, and alcantera glued directly to the floors, tunnel, and inner panels

Cool modification which I can appreciate. I owned the original Janspeed 240Z back in 1983 and hung license plates on it so I could drive it to the track and race.
@markrolston11 жыл бұрын
those are custom shaped fender flares. They started life as some old 1980s era FG parts (not sure where they came from) but we ended up doing a lot of reshaping to get them to fit the lines of the car. Having perfect wheel fit is also part of the reason they work.

Incredible build! Looks like an easy $50,000-75,000 in parts and labor easily and it looks like it was done with no shortcuts taken. The only thing I dont like are the massive wheels, it would look absolutely breathtaking on some 16" or 17" BBS mesh wheels! Impeccable build, wow.

i haven't run the VQ yet. I'm still building the car. But I expect it to net out better. It's lighter, it's shorter so it fits behind front suspension, is a liter larger, and has much better US support.

Wow, beautiful car! I am a new initiate in loving old Z cars! I see you're a Texan, too. I live in Waco & just recently bought my first, an 83 280ZX. It's my daily driver, I love it, but I didn't have any idea how much attention this thing would attract! I've actually been pulled over by someone who just wanted to look & talk! And my ZX isn't even that nice within 10 feet or so! Anyway, I'm saving & trying to advance in my career in aviation maintenance cause I want a 240Z now! Crazy!

Putting a V8 in a Z is far from original, the reason people get mad about V8s is because the inline 6 is a huge part of what made it such an iconic car, a car only offered with 6 cylinder engines, jeeps and other american cars usually had multiple engine options and doing a grotesque swap like a V8 in a vintage 240Z is far different from modern brand having a car you don't like, that's like owning a classic Mustang and getting mad because you don't like the new econoline cars from ford.
@markrolston12 жыл бұрын
yes- big one- Too few options for parts and support here in the US. Know what you're doing or stick with a more common motor. It's a beast of a motor but not easy to maintain for track beatings.
