My car is older than I am!

Hey everybody, My name is Jon and as you can tell I am a brand new member of this sight. Just about over two months ago, I bought my first ever car, a 1972 Datsun 240z. You may be intrigued by my title, well I am 18 years old. You may ask why or how I am interested in z's, most of my friends dont even know what Datsun is! Well my dad had bought a grey 72 240z back in 1973. So as a result I have always been ubsessed with these beauties. At the beginning of this past summer my parents told me tha

Old Journal Entry

This is an entry from my old journal before turning off that module. My Z Created this as a backup to my for sale ad, removed when I finished the project. The bad thing about having a "new" restoration like this is the old parts. It's soo hard to put an old part next to a new part. While I have all of the old stuff around, there are things that you'll want to replace with new or rebuilt. The two engines should be rebuilt. While I took out the operational L24 and set it aside, it was nearly 10 y

z resurection

Hello all I have a chance to purchase a 76 280 z (We are moving and must get rid of our '76 Z car. The engine had been disassembled by our son when in HS 7 years ago and put back together somewhat. We think that all of the parts are there. It has been on jack stands since 1992 in our garage and under car covers but there are several dents in the body due to carelessness in the garage.The engine has about 110,000 miles on it.) As you all can see the car has been on jack stands for 16 years. will

The Header Returns.. Pics included!

My header has returned from Jet-Hot Coatings in Tempe, after two and a half weeks. It looks really nice!! Here is a picture of it.... Header: $200 Jet-Hot Sterling coating: $300 Knowing it won't rust away in a few years: Priceless The installation went a lot quicker than the removal of the old exhaust manifold. Of course I had several weeks to prepare everything as I noted in my previous post. Got a couple new studs and a new set of exhaust nuts at the Nissan dealer. After touching up

The Exhaust Odyssey begins...

My '74 260Z has some noticeable exhaust leaks that I've been ignoring since I woke it up from an 11 year nap in 2006. Well, I finally decided to roll my sleeves up and see what kind of damage I could really do to the system.... My wife was off work for spring break a couple weeks ago so that's when I decided to start this project. Being able to use the car she drives to get to work as necessary was the deciding factor. I put the car up on jack stands and removed the single (the other two wer

My 260Z RLS30012230

Well, my entry into the Z world kind of came by lucky accident I guess you could say. Back in 2002 I started yearning to have a 'fun' car again. Something that I could play around with and not have to rely on as my daily driver. A bit of history on the cars I've owned. In the past I have a few 'fun' cars. I've been the owner of such cars, to name just a few, as a pristine 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix with 23,000 miles in 1986, a 1976 Camaro LT (a 4-speed car sold in California), a 1976 Firebird Formu

Our car started out as a pretty nice so-cal rust free example. The plan for the car is to strip it down, gut it out and prep it for Works style Carbon Fiber over fenders, G-nose, race style interior, 3.1 stroker motor, coil overs, Mikuni 44s, custom JDM header and exhaust, brand new euro tail lights with Carbon Fiber surround, 16" Panasports, plus tons of JDM parts collected over the last 20 years by the car's owner. I am the project manager, assembler, parts collector and storage. The owner
