POST DATSUNS!
>>14750268
Thinking about getting pic related and driving it from arizona to California. How insane am I?
Lets say I want to pay a place to take the car apart to cut out and patch all the rust. How much are we talkin here?
>>14751442
$10,000 or so, assuming they do all the labor for removal of interior, all the patching and painting, then reassembly.
And that's on the low side.
Do it yourself dude, unless you're rich it's the only attainable way to have a low rust S30 or other Datsun
Today i put in my order for one of these :)
Cant wait
>>14752183
hey there third world fag, when you take possession of the car can you check and see if the front grill emblem is actually part of the grill, or is it separate?
If they're separate, I'm gonna try to find a front emblem.
510 club checking in.
>>14751366
I drove a 510 from Portland, OR to Orange County, CA which is about 1,000 miles last summer. So it is definitely doable.
posting my 75 280

I like you car but hate that airdam+bumper. Why not go 240bumper + type 1 airdam?
Having no luck finding a decent S30 or S130 should I just get this as my first Z car?

>>14754101
I plan on swapping it out in the near future but currently it doesn't bother me. Currently putting my money to a 5 speed, after that i'll be replacing the airdam.

Mine
>>14754460
Traded for an H22a swapped Accord Wagon
The engine is a N42 block and head. 1975/76 are the only years with this combination. $6k invested in rebuild. It was rebuilt with all new internals (crank, bearings, rods, pistons, etc) by Diehl Nissan in Huntsville. The head was shaved and polished by R&R Speed shop in Huntsville. Other mods include a 292 duration cam (Mean lope) and a Pacesetter long tube header. The transmission is a stock 4 speed with an Exedy Stage 2 race clutch. the guy before me did all that and just straight traded for my wagon
>>14754460
car is in pretty good condition now
now i'm scraping on every turn and speed bump
and I hate it
raising it up a half inch tomorrow
also, driver front is rubbing the goddang front valence and air dam...
and diff making weird noises now so LSD gonna be next big purchase after wats and tires
>>14754048
I want to get a mold of just that bumper part of the air dam, and put a normal air dam underneath it. Slimmed 280Z bumper look can be pulled off, especially on a 2+2.
>>14754647
just change the fluid in the differential, and if it still makes noise that means someone disassembled it and didn't get the contact pattern of the ring right.
>>14757462
it's actually catching and grinding at a certain part of rotation, maybe some grime or something or a gear that is ground down or something
was hoping my R200 was one of the godly ones
This shit is happening.
>>14759256
hell yah gabby, keep us updated!
what do you guys think of going all black for the rear of the car?
When I go on the Mexico missions trip again next year, I need me some rally car goodness.
I might have to pick up a cheap B210 and have a go at a shitty paint/flare job, and maybe an L20B swap.
>>14762631
Datsun Canada representing !
>>14765342
It's seriously the best looking Datsun rally car, I'd LOVE to make a psuedo reproduction to DD.
>>14767978
Wait. Fuck, wrong photo. Here's a Datsun.
>>14768046
That's a dotsun though
S30 don't give a shit
Got around to some minor rust deletion, mainly to see if there was still metal underneath all of it. I'll post pics later if I can.
I've been restoring z's for the last couple years for myself. Recently I've begun offering frame, floor board and rust repair to other z enthusiasts. If you're near Chicago and are in need of some work, give me a yell
>Cant find any late 80s/early 90s radios with AUX that aren't super expensive
Why are modern stereos so fuckin ugly?
>>14773523
put radio in glove box/console less chance of nigerization of vehicle too
>>14773404

>>14773404
you want to come to Ohio?
>>14777062
Damnnnn what exhaust is that? and is it legal to bend your license plate into a taco like that?
>>14777062
something about this is just so A E S T H E T I C
the sound of this L28ET is unlike any other I've heard, and in a good way. It doesn't sound like a freakin' truck
