Not yet, going to wait until I've sold my current Z for sure. I may call the guy tomorrow and see if I can stop by and take a look at it Thursday afternoon when I get off (which could be as early as 1300)

sad to see it sell, but glad to see you are staying true to the Z heritage

GL on the s30. Shorties up 4sale?

Skeeterbop · 03-21-2012, 08:56 PM

Depends on what the buyer wants. I still have the stock muffler so it depends on what they ask for. If they want it stock I'll let you know when the shorties come off.

Get Car running
Replace all the bushings
replace springs/struts if needed (upgrade to coilovers if possible)
Rebello 2.7 engine (270hp crank)
5 speed from a 280Z
LSD if I can find one
Fresh paint

One thing I would love to do, but is 99% likely not to happen is to get a 6 speed straight cut, dog engagement, sequential trans from Quiafe Engineering. I know how much the transmission would cost, and could probably save the money over the course of a year, but the fabrication needed to adapt it to the L series block and trans mounts would probably be a bit more than i could do. Doesn't hurt to dream big though. What is on that list though is things I definitely plan on doing. The first two will happen pretty quickly and the built engine could get bumped up the list depending on the state of the current engine.
Sure hope i don't find a rust bucket when i take a look at it later this week.

Been thinking some more about this and was thinking some wheels would be nice as well, what do you guys think of these; Enkei J-Speed:

Might have a serious buyer this time for the 370Z. Also went out today and took a look at the 240, it is definitely a project. There is a bit of surface rust, but the only place that is bad is the cowling, which I have already located a replacement for. Myself and a friend looked it over and From what I saw all the usual rust spots weren't bad. It will need some fresh paint, but that's to be expected. Engine will have to have a good going over (perfect excuse to send it out to be rebuilt!). On the plus side, it comes with a few extra odds and ends. Just need to decide what I want to offer him.

... still a little sad about this. Few months ago you had me all inspired to see how much NA could go ... and now you are selling her.

...tons more you can do to a 240 so I get it, just sad to see the 370Z go.

Skeeterbop · 03-26-2012, 08:48 PM

I'll get another 370 in the future, it's just to expensive to do what I want with it at the moment. I'll be getting the 240 done up all motor on the stock block though. I've already been talking to an engine builder to try to figure out what I'll be spending to get the engine built how I want it. So far it will be much cheaper than what I would be guessing a full build on the 370 engine would be.

Skeeterbop · 04-10-2012, 10:07 PM

May have an update to the thread by the end of the week!

And for those wondering; the 370Z is still here atm.
