Hi i'm David. I live in the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie ,Western Australia. My fun car is a 1976 Datsun 260z 2x seater with a 250 GTO ferrari body kit fitted. The kit has been modified to keep the rear quarter windows. So above the window line it is Datsun and below it is the 1960's look. I don't have any Ferrari stickers or badges on it only Datsun, and I made my own side stickers with a Z and the southern cross on a yellow shield with the Australian flag colours. The motor is rebuilt with triple 40mm Dellortos, 5 speed gearbox and a R200 diff with a Phantom Grip centre from the States. Front brake upgrade to 300mm drilled and slotted rotors and 1 inch master cylinder. Rear is standard. Goes great. Stops great.

Hi Bryan,

The wheels were made by a company here in Australia called OZ Wheels and they are a copy of BBS wheels. 3x piece alloy 16x8 inch. He cast the centres for me to get the right offset for the guards and drilled to suit the original 4x stud pattern. Cost about $2,500 au but I like them. I didn't want to go for the 72 spoke Daytona like the original Ferrari. I wanted a Datsun but with the curves of the 1960's. Regards David
