Project PF S30

[JZS_147]

I've been looking for one of these cars in decent shape for over 6 years, i've finally found one in half decent shape that I liked. I'm the 4th owner of this Z. Previous owner owned it for 4 years and bought it from one of the Datsun club members, he had owned it for 20 years.

I have a few things planned out for it already!

Spill the beans, you. At least give a hint of what you plan on doing.

Such a georgeous car.

[projekz]

Don't JZ swap it... NA RB25, keep it in the family.

shut your dirty mouth......

That doesn't look like a project to me, that looks like it's already done.

Lol, so just because I don't have to do a ground up restoration it means that i'm not building it? Get real.


I'm not planning on swapping out the engine. At the most it'll see an L28.....definitely staying L series.

(edit) not positive if that was the green 240z for sale on kijiji a week or so ago, if it is, that seemed like a really good price.
I've had my s30 for a little over a year now, they are definitely fun cars, and really turn heads. My only complaint is the exhaust smell in the cabin when a window is open.

I have the L28 in mine currently, and it's really nothing special. I'm planning on going SR20det or rb25det when I'm ready for a swap in a year or two.

lol, so you aren't restoring it, or touching the motor > let me guess > wheels (low offset herra frush), air, lip (at most)...

[ercchry]

nah, my guess is some nice old school wheels, static suspension, shaved bumpers. ridiculous custom tig welded header/exhaust... and some crazy intake setup.. then bride seats

then a few super rare JDM aftermarket pieces from way back here and there...

and if a power polish doesnt bring the paint to a mirror finish... new paint

I know a guy who can design and fab some pretty wild shit, also got the 5-axis head porting trunion and software all worked out... Hmmm

Almost insulting Jeremy, and you're wrong. Even if I planned on just doing that, at least it would be build with authentic legit parts, and not replica garbage that everyone else seems to use.

I never said I'm not touching the motor, I'm just not going to swap it. This car will always have an L series under the hood. I plan on doing a couple tweaks on the L24, and I'll probably overhaul it sometime in the near future.

I will repaint it eventually. I'm not really down with the color, and I want to eliminate the sunroof and the door moldings. The car was originally orange, so you can still see some of the original color under the hood and in a few spots. As far as restoration, it's in really great shape with absolutely no rust, so there really isn't much left to do.

Eric is spot on. It's just a sunday cruiser.

Honestly. We'll see where it goes...this car can't get too out of hand, I still need to finish my GS.

Oh Mr. Sensitive lol... and I wasn't too far off > no insult intended, it was my guess

low offset wheels VS. JDM oldschool (they better be battleships if what I wrote insulted you)
air VS. static
lip > pretty spot on... should have said authentic and JDM more i suppose

Will be a nice project, Don't get your jimmies in a jimmy lol

[Toma]

Authentic??

lol. But whhhyyy??

Here is the Authentic beast I am tuning today. This engine, because it very original, is worth $60,000+

But you can build a BETTER one, with stronger parts, that will make more power for half the money.

Nostalgia is for old guys

Do you run Authentic ECU's and tuning as well? You using an old analog Vane dyno??
