New Zealand Datsun Club

Yeah ive all ready been talking to snoozin about getting a few things the car he's got has seen very better days but i still found a couple of things i can pinch of it, so i need to sand the rest of the car(blew up my compressor) so i need to fix that first and i need to pull out the diff and leaves plus the front springs to send them into Bellamy and east to get reset and compressed plus a leaf put in, umm strip the underbody and seal that, umm more rust repairs and get her running nice

Whoa! Awesome car mate.Keep us updated

Been in a 260C when it was nearly new, man was it flash and cool (and fast to for back then )

I was lucky to see this car in person on Saturday.I can't wait to see this on the road.If you ever sell this I'll be first inline to buy it...LOL

It will be a long time before i every think about selling it, but ill keep that in mind haha, yeah i drained the tank and lines after you left found a wee bit of surface rust under the tank so imma sort that out before it goes back in, and i ran some new gas thru it but id say she flooded her self when i drained all the gas out of it (big pool or gas in the manifold) so hopefully today she will live again

So after my meeting with Ian (rblover) he asked me what i wanted to do to the 240, and well i guess i want it to be a jdm inspired period correct build, so i was thinking that i want to get rid of the l24 for something a bit more grunty, like a l28 or something but then i must of come to my senses why throw away a great motor that might lack in the torques but that could defiantly make up if i built a high compression l24 with a mild cam and triple sideys, with a nice stainless exhaust and headers, so how many people on here have done a l24 build to start with or any l2X high compression builds? it would be great to get some first person advice on this plus does anyone have a rear swaybar for a 260c/330?

Pm sent - cool build

Wow looks to be in amazing condition, great to see you are getting the chance to make something of it.
L6s sound great with triples, even twin SUs and flows sound good, but Triples are the bees.
I think Ivan is in the process of a build but is going for the Uber stroke/bore L28. I have an L28 in my 260 and ran Std with sidies for ages, went really well and sounds fantastic. Keep us up dated. I'd love to get a look at this in the flesh sometime.
What are you gunna bolt up to the back of it Trans wise?

That is one sweet car come and have a look at my 260z and I can go trough it with you .

I was thinking about using a t5 box but i think ill stick to the 4speed for a while, I really want to get the car going and looking cool before i get to much into the rest of build, great things take time
