hi guys,

Glad to see such great support from you all.
Just got a call from my frens saying tht most of my exterior parts including the rims and all necessary spoilers arrived.

The only thing tht i'm still figuring out here is the drivetrain and the engine.
I have 2 spare L-Engine with me now, 1 os 24 and another 26. All the parts are worn out and need total rebuild.

My second option is to totally forget abotu the stock engine, and dump in a RB25 N/A engine from the skyline 32. Will fit the RB26 6 throttle kit to the RB25 with open pot type, igintion and fuel control by Fcon perhaps...tht should do just fine...

anyway, will update real soon...cheers!!

Tony
Rebuilding a Classic
mean the Engine must be classic as well

 

[moonbiker]

cmng,
I second that...but then, it's all about what tony wants...if it's for classic value...then he should stick with the originals...but IMHO, screw the classic value! Get a monster engine in and get it prepped to kick some ass! Hahaha!

Dat'll learn 'em some! And then how!

Just found this thread... What a dream job!! A ground-up resto.

Will be nicer if you can share the expenses as thing progressed - but i totally understand if you rather keep it to yourself. Either way, this is one tough & challenging project you are up into. So, good luck & you must be enjoying yourself rite now, since most of the hardest work already tackled - bodywork anyway..

Hopefully the red 280z that midship is selling will still be available nex 4-5 years..
