Thanks guys
I have been thinking about painting the interior of the car white but I'm not sure if that will look weird? The car is always going to be gutted and a roll cage will be installed and i think that would look a lot cleaner than a black interior? any thoughts?
I just stumbled on this like 10 min ago . Damn man. Nice build. Mind blowing actually.. keep the interior black.
be said he thought about it, not that he did / will. Might be done by end of summer.
Good to see you got it started, you this means youll have the second fastest 4g swaped 280 haha. Looks good tho. You did steal the color I was going to paint mine, might go dark purple tho not sure. You seem to be moving right along on it keep up the good work.
Great Build Here, I especially like the what you did with the intake manifold. Did you consider any other transmissions to get the shifter location closer to stock or maybe an extension from a different toyota trans?
looking good man... im having issues with finding an exhaust manifold for mine and an intake manifold with throttle body as well.. also can you explain what you did with drilling out your block? why did you do that?
Why repaint? What color are you going to repaint it?
BTW I love the old Datsun Z cars, I think this is going to be an excellent car once completed as well. The 4G63 has got to be a good bit lighter than the old L28. Curious is price the only reason you went with the W58 trains? Because if memory serves (when I owned an 87 turbo supra) the R-158 (I think thats right) trans is a good bit longer, and would put the shifter much closer to the stock location in the Z.
Also what are you doing about the rear end and suspension? I'll be following your build as I absolutely love the old Z's and obviously I'm a fan of the 4G63.
Making me jealous , its turning out really good bro. I need to get some work done to mine. Im pretty much in the same boat as you, no money. If you lived a little closer I'd give you this 14b so you could finish that IC piping. How much does that transsmision weigh, think I came up with the powerglide + 4g63 block is about 120 pounds lighter then the old L28.
Come paint my 280 if you want to paint a Datson again haha.
liking it. I have a 75 280z. Not putting a 4g in it, tho, thats goin in my s4. I am tossing around either a 2jz or a big turbo 5.3 chev. dont get unmotivated!!
