Hi Guys, After a lot of consideration and a heavy heart I have decided I have to sell my project car mainly due to relocating overseas and the car cant come with me. Model: 1977 Datsun 260Z 2 seater. Location: South East Melbourne. This has been my project car for a few years and has been a slow, no expense spared project to build my idea of the ideal Z car. Being a '77 car, it used the stiffer updated body (US 280Z) which I chose as the best base for the extra power planned. The car was bought complete and driven for a short time, it was the straightest Z car I had seen (and I have owned several). All hanging panels, lights and trim come with the vehicle (minus OEM seats). Basically this car would suit someone considering a RB powered Z project or a lightweight RWD project car. All the hard work and more importantly expense regarding fabrication is complete, however there is enough left to personalise the car to you tastes. Fabrication and repair is often the most daunting part of these projects and the area where big budget blowouts occur, in this case it has already been done. At last estimate the total spend on this project including the car purchase price, body work, fabrication and parts was between $35k-$40k. Hard to believe, but it often happens I now learnt the hard way! I realise this is a large amount and some cars are built for less in backyards, however you have to consider that no expense spared on structural and safety items as this car was built to be legitimately engineered and 100% road legal as well as confidently safe for its driver and passengers. Body The body while very straight, was stripped and sandblasted on a rotisserie. All rust spots were cut and with new metal panels fabricated and welded in. The frame rails were replaced from the rear and extended/tied into the rear subframe for extra chassis strength. The body was then seam welded for additional strength and primered. The underbody has been sound deadened while the cabin and engine bay were painted in Porsche Seal Grey. Engine Currently installed is a Series 2 RB25DET from an R33 Skyline halfcut reported to have 90,000kms. Used is professionally fabricated engine mounts and a genuine brand new Nissan 200ZR Oil Sump to fit the Z cross member configuration. Fuel Injection Bosch 040 external fuel pump Surge tank Lift pump Braided lines Drivetrain RB25DET gearbox - Much thought, planning and expense went into the professionally fabricated gearbox mount which is often a big hurdle on using this ideal strong gearbox, many opt for the weaker RB20DET gearbox to fit the standard mount. Customised tail shaft R200 3.9:1 Clutch LSD rebuilt by Stan Holmes Customised 300ZX CV shafts All fabrication was performed by Meridian Motorsport. Brakes/Suspension Front 5 stud slotted and vented Brembo rotors (Mercedes) using PBR calipers (VT Commodore) Rear 5 stud XF falcon disc brakes/handbrake Coilover suspension on shortened struts Redrilled crossmember to reduce bump steer Brakes & suspension were purchased and assembled by Speed Technology. All bushes have been replaced with a mix of Nissan genuine rubber and Noltec urethane as per expert advice. Extras All underbody components sandblasted and painted. Mitsubishi EvoVI front mount intercooler Mitsubishi EvoIII Recaro seats/Rails Rear mounted gel cell battery in battery box and heavy gauge battery wiring Reskinned Dash MSA complete rubbers kit Brand new bonnet in box from Nissan Whats left to finish? Wiring has been started but needs to be completed. Coolant piping needs to be connected. Exhaust and intercooler piping required. Orginal interior is all present however I have always planned to retrim the car. Exterior paint work required. Ideally I would like to recoup approaching half of what I spent if possible ( the hours are lost forever!), however will consider all serious offers. At this stage I will consider offers above $15000 but any reasonable offers will be considered I hope most of you can understand and respect that. Thanks guys
