[iansmopar]

Hello everyone ive been lurking around for a while and thought it was time to join.

Ive owned my Skyline for about a year now and its been very reliable making regular

trips to Kakadu and Litchfield Parks.

Now its time to start upgrading, ive just aquired a 260Z 2+2 wreck with a fantastic engine

and side draught hitachi type su's runs very well and has alot of new parts on it, the gearbox

and diff will stay as is but the suspension needs work and im not sure what to use out of what models.

Any help on this would be much appreciated and i look forward to talking with you all

Regards Ian

Hi mate,

The 260Z is a great score as the engine, gearbox and diff are all easy enough to swap over as you require them. Unfortunately I don't think that the 260Z exhaust is going to fit with the C210, so you may want to look at upgrading your exhaust.

Try to find a 280zx and poach the entire disk brake rear end plus the electronic distributor and coil.

I'd look for aftermarket springs and shocks.

I've made every mistake possible doing the above conversions to my car, so feel free to ask me what NOT to do!

Good luck with the car - it looks like a great project.
