The giant storage container that was sitting on our driveway for 6 months since the house fire has finally been moved: the extra chassis is gonna get pulled out now, and worked on.
POST DATSUNS!
Also, I think I'm going to buy these for the Z since I have an extra 8 circuits with my wiring harness...

Should make getting around in an emergency easier.... theoretically.

>>15302175
Sounds illegal ahaha
>>15304090
Illegal to use, but not to mount. Retarded law if you think about it.
>>15304621
Do it. Also I'm planning to take my fenders off my 260z to tackle some rust I found under the air intake grille. I noticed at the door sills that there isn't a gap like pictures of zs I found. I'm attaching a picture. Do you think someone used body filler to fill the seem? There's a Crack where the fender would end.
>>15304621
Also you're always op for these threads. I'm pretty new to them. I've never seen your z. Mind dumping a few pictures of it?
>>15305277
Only one available atm. This is the '72 we're cutting up, and we have another '72 shell were gonna swap everything into.
>>15305264
Yup, body filler job.
>>15305526
That's awesome
>>15305535
Thought so. How should I take the fender off without ducking everything up. Would a razor blade slice through that? Don't wanna damage the actual body panels. Hope there's not a half asset rust repair waiting for me underneath it. Remember a few threads back I posted the metal patches someone riveted over rust holes on the floor boards? Ahaha fucking retards I swear.
>>15305562
>. Hope there's not a half asset rust repair waiting for me underneath it.
Motherfucker you don't know bad dogleg rust repairs u til you've seen what was on the orange Z above: someone put QUICK-CRETE in the dog leg rust hole, then Bondo'd over that.
Literally shit.
And a razor blade ain't gonna do shit to the metal man, go for it. And are you trying to take the rear quarters off or something?
>>15302637
>no S30's
Currently in talks with an owner in the US about doing a photoshoot and drive of his Z432, will report back with results if all goes well. I hope to get some good driving footage to share that S20 sound with you lads
>>15308550
>432
>in the U.S.
since when? I know there are a few clones here, but not any originals that I know of.
>>15308556
It's one of a small handful of real 432s imported by people with way more money than me
>>15308556
There's at least one that I know of, sold about 4 years ago for ~250k
>>15306208
Concrete? Holy fuck. That's shit.
And I know razor won't hurt metal I just ment incase i have to use something other than razor blade.wasn't sure if it would get through it. Broke 2 blades so far so might need to find something else
>>15309143
Yep, concrete.
Another option for you is to get a standard screwdriver and sharpen the blade into a chisel.
That, or wire brush wheels for a drill. Works well for me.

260z resto guy here...
I need ideas for a good set of performance seats to swap into the 260z. I will be going with a 5 point harness eventually. Still needs to be comfortable to drive on the streets but supportive on canyon runs or track days. I was looking at the Corbeau Targa RS Performance seat but am welcome to other suggestions.
>>15310700

Finally got off work at 3AM sooooo BUMP
And bump before I go to work
Bumping
D-..Do-...Does mine count?
>>15305526
you gonna run those bumpers or can i haz? :3
i got my motor striped down, need to get measurements, the motorcycle is done too, gotta get the carbs on it :D
>>15316465
*Probably* not gonna run the rear bumper since we're shaving the bumper, but wr mat want to eventually find a way to mount it again without messing with the shaved rear end (thinking caps on)
But Wes probably be going with a fiberglass rear bumper, so I'll let ya know.
The front bumper stays for now.
>>15315800

I just picked up a welder so I can finish my turbo piping and exhaust since my friend bailed on me.
>>15316660

Fag. Real men weld with oxi/propane
>>15318001
What are those beds called? I must know
>>15320557
>oxi/propane
Get off 4chan grandpa
>>15320557
Do you mean oxy acetylene? I've never seen anyone weld with propane.
>>15320622
I think he's confussing cutting fuel with welding fuel
All you UK gents wishing to buy any Datsuns from the EU nations better get on it: brexit is winning. Hard.

Trays. Very popular ute bed in Australia for most models.
>>15318018
I bought it to move and I wanted a little Jap car old enough to put on club (cheaper) rego. Would like to get a stock bed for it since it's a very nice clean little old man ute, but finding a LWB bed is proving quite difficult so will probably just sell it. I bought my Exa back so that's filled that little Japanese hole I had.
>>15323465
And now for Exa time
Is this old enough for /ddt/?
1988
Im afraid I didn't time my engine correctly, how can I check.
update:

his son took it out for a joy ride and it caught fire
>>15331630
Did he push it hard that it overheated?
I'm looking at a 1982 datsun 280zx, the guy is asking 4500. It has about 110k miles. Any advice on what to keep an eye out for?
>>15331647
Never asked, just said he was waiting outside his girlfriend's house when the car started smoking and then caught fire.
I never got around to pulling out the engine.
The white car was bought as a parts car. It was very rusted and riddled with holes, but he paid $500 for it.
>>15331705
>fire behind the dash
literally typical as hell. Kid was a moron for not disconnecting the battery.
>>15331660
another car that's not that one. Goodness, unless it was garage kept or original owner, that's a steep price. I wouldn't pay more than $3,000.
>>15331766
not a troll question, but why?
