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

Price dropped to $250

Open to all reasonable offers guys.

As the title says brand new in the box and never fitted. Comes as pictured (as delivered by Bosch) $280 Pick up preferred in South East Melbourne but postage possible.

Gearbox sold. Will start a dedicated thread for the AFM. Thanks

Open to offers on the box. Also I just found in my garage a brand new in box Bosch Z32 AFM I no longer plan to use. $280obo.

RB25DET manual 5 speed for sale Bought with 65,000km on it and have not used it as I bought a halfcut with another gearbox. Was going to keep it as a spare but trying to tidy the garage. Located in Melbourne, South Eastern suburbs. Pick up only. $1200obo

No, just what's mentioned. Thanks

R32 cluster and dash photos as requested 171,377km on the odo...although since the R32 used a mechanical speedo drive, I think you could get creative.

***R32 GTS ECU SOLD*** ***GTR INJECTORS SOLD*** ***GTR DROPPING RESISTOR SOLD***

They are the same. NOTE: GTR R34 fuel injectors added as for sale however I cant edit my top post for some reason. Item: R34 GTR injectors x6 Condition: Excellent Price: $350obo including postage within Australia To Fit: GTR or RB20DET upgrade Comments: I have had these wrapped up for around 18 months, they look in almost new shape.

Dropping resistor pic as requested:

R32 Gts ecu SOLD Everything else still there.

Prices reduced!

All still for sale which is strange with the amount of definite buyers there were. Also added now is R32 instrument cluster.

Could you please answer the questions? Thanks

OK, I'll send you a PM now.

Do you know when the high flow was done? If you dont, can you either ask, or forward the details of the member you bought it from. Thanks.

Half the asking price? No thanks. I'm not desperate for the money, so tomorrow or next week doesn't worry me. Thanks anyway

All still for sale

Item: R32 GTS ECU Condition: Perfect Price: $100 including postage within Australia To Fit: RB20DET or R32 based RB25/30 Comments: Perfect condition R32 ECU, suitable for replacement into a manual GTS or remappable to suit RB25/30 Item: R33 GTR injector resistor pack Condition: Excellent Price: $100 including postage within Australia To Fit: GTR or cars converting to GTR injectors Comments: Injector resistor pack suitable for replacement into a GTR or a requirement for other cars using GTR injectors. Item: R32 RB25DE inlet manifold Condition: Excellent Price: $100 To Fit: RB25DE engines or R32 based RB25/30 engines. Comments: Due to different port size, this is the only inlet manifold suitable for R32 RB25DE based RB25/30's. These lower runners are needed for fabricating front facing plenums also. No throttle body. Item: R32 Instrument cluster + plastic trim (also have half the dashboard if you want) Condition: Excellent Price: $50 To Fit: R32 Gts or dash conversion Comments: I have the cluster, plastic trim (and half the dash) I was going to use in a swap into my Datsun. All items are in Melbourne with pick up preferred. Postage possible. Photos can be taken if required, but items are pretty self explanitory.

Yep, I have a spare set of runners (complete RB25DE manifold) which i may sell soon. Was bloody hard to find a set someone was willing to seperate from the head. As far as I know the actual upper plenums are the same between RB20DET/25DE.

Deposit has been taken on the full package guys. For reference, there is a difference in inlet port size between RB25DE and other RB motors. Therefore it is quite difficult to get an aftermarket plenum to suit the RB25DE style RB30DET motors.

Had a search around but cant find much info on this. Is it possible to remove the TCS on the RB25DET Neo motor and retain the factory EFI computer? I imagine you could use a R33 throttle body or something, but I would think the EFI computer would be missing a few inputs. This would be useful for conversions into other cars where the associated ABS gear isnt present. Thanks
