January 10, 200619 yr comment_151619 This is going to be a new car with a new frame and a bit of used sheet metal. You guys are doing a heck of a job on this resto. I am pleased to be on the list of 'watchers'. Go dogs! :classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15918-my-71-240z-project/?&page=4#findComment-151619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 10, 200619 yr comment_151637 Thanks man! Duh, tell me about it ... I was pretty frustrated when I got the car back from the sand blasting company! Not a whole lot to do about it though - but to clinch my teeth together and deal with it I understand how you feel, I have the same kind of attitude and if your anything like me, which from the looks of it you definately are, then you'll build a top quality car. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15918-my-71-240z-project/?&page=4#findComment-151637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 10, 200619 yr comment_151671 How are you putting the frame together? Do you have a stock car to measure? A jig? How did you know where to mount the stress rod receivers? In case you have forgotten how it goes together, here it is!

January 10, 200619 yr comment_151674 I'm coming in late here, but this looks like a $100,000 restoration project. When you start calling composite companies, well uh..... what can I say?

January 10, 200619 yr Author comment_151683 How are you putting the frame together? Do you have a stock car to measure? A jig? How did you know where to mount the stress rod receivers? In case you have forgotten how it goes together, here it is! Thanks for the pictures, impressive! Looks very pretty! Stock measurements were taken from the original rails before they got chopped up - I would like to think they're accurate enough (?) :classic: Oh... By the way, I think I've neglected to post this screen shot from a "video in progress" showing the new engine block. It's a Nismo N1-RB26 block. Recieving a 0.4 mm bore/ 0.1 mm honing in the video. Waiting for some more video-material to wrap it one up and post it.

January 10, 200619 yr comment_151688 What head will you be using? Carburetion? Induction? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15918-my-71-240z-project/?&page=4#findComment-151688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 10, 200619 yr comment_151693 Big fan of you're video's and project as well. But i must ask, are these your buddies working with you on this, or are you paying these people? That looks like one expensive project if it's the latter...In any event, Keep up the good work.

January 10, 200619 yr Author comment_151694 What head will you be using? Carburetion? Induction? Starting out using the stock head. Injection - no carbs. Big fan of you're video's and project as well. But i must ask, are these your buddies working with you on this, or are you paying these people? That looks like one expensive project if it's the latter... In any event, Keep up the good work. Building a fast street/race-car is never cheap - but since I've managed to squeeze some sponsors into the build - makes it somewhat less expensive. Bottom line: they're getting paid.

January 11, 200619 yr comment_151720 I know the RB260 is a twin cam... Will you be using Solexes or will it be injected? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15918-my-71-240z-project/?&page=4#findComment-151720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 11, 200619 yr comment_151722 I know the RB260 is a twin cam... Will you be using Solexes or will it be injected? My bet would be injected... much easier to tune. errr... scratch that.... to: More tunable Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15918-my-71-240z-project/?&page=4#findComment-151722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
