Some Pics from Sunday Nissan 300zx & Datsun 260z turbo

[jc052685]

Very nice 300.


I couldn't imagine 17 psi again... The Cummins in my Dodge pulls 55-60.. :ror:"thumbsup" The whistle from a turbo is addictive..

cool.........:roll:

j/k

I do miss my 7.3l but I sure dont miss filling it up:!:

As cool as 60 psi may be in your truck remember, it is a truck. I dont want any "aww well its a 7,00Lb truck and it runs 13's". I know all about the under dog story. I drive an 11 second datsun with an original 6cyl. I know its not the the best way to make the power. Back to my point........


60psi in a car

Both cars are very nice examples of machines. I've long been a fan of the Datsun 260's especially. Very hard to find model being made for only 1 year. The more common 240 and 280 can't even hold a candle to the 260 styling.

humm......Really?

ok then, name the car.....

If you're going to do illegal shit and post it on the internet, try to be somewhat anonymous about it. :lol:

By the way your 260 does look nice, whats your other plans for it? And that's also a nice 300.

This is a 260Z based on its bumper again. The Bumperettes are more centralized.

This is the 240 series, especially noted by its bumperette locations. Out wide of the grill was a common characteristic of the 240's

Here is a 280Z, noticed the very narrow set Bumperettes that look just stuck onto the chrome bumper. Also take note of the side black plastic bumper finishing pieces.

I'd like to someday own a Datsun 260Z, though my true passion lies in the 510's. If I were to add a summer/show car to the stable it would deinfately be a Datsun...would really like to also look into a RB26DETT or a more wild idea I've been thinking of is a Subaru STi motor swap (this would be a pipe dream though most likely).

if you think you know pm me and I will let you know.

well. the 260 I own is going back to the track jan 16 and I am hoping for 11.70s or better. gonna go from 20psi in the Drag Radials to maybe 17-16psi. Current best 60' is 1.77. I figure if I can get some 1.6s and I will be running between 18-22 psi next time. So, maybe even 11.50s or better. depents on the air temp though I think. hope it will be ice cold. Sucks for launch but the car sure rips down the track. As off right now the car hits thee 6250 rpm rev-limiter going through the traps in 4th gear.

I blew out my 5th gear and the only tranny I had laying around was a 4 speed so that is all I got. I will just raise the limiter up to 6800 and call it a day.

Next up for the car though is...

re-ring the borom end

some head work
(deshrouding the valves, 5-angle valve job, extrude honning intake manifold, and get the car back on the dyno for some tunning)

Diff is still a factory open. The car is seeing less and less daily driving so I have been thinking of welding it up. Far cheaper than picking up a worn out used LSD on ebay ($600-$1100)

This is a 260Z based on its bumper again. The Bumperettes are more centralized.To be very specific it is a early 260z, basicaly is a 73 240z with 280z tail lights. The late 260z had 280z bumpers and signals
