Datsun thread. Talk about Zs and related matters.I just got a 260z, tell me everything.
>>28931703you tell ME everythinghow much was it, how long were you looking for one, how does it drive
>>28931718$9500. I wanted one for years but I wasn't really looking, I just happened to see it and thought it looked good.I think it drives great, I drove it 2000 miles home without problems.It has the 5 speed and diff from a 280zx which is nice. The interior is missing door panels, carpet, and some weather stripping. The hood needs to be repainted but otherwise I think it's pretty good.What do people do for headlights? I saw Z Store has upgraded lights but they're $500 so I'm wondering what else is available because they really suck.Also if anyone can send a picture of their battery location that would be great. Mine is just sitting on a shelf so I need to do something to keep it in place.
How tf did you get a running 260 for 9500? Is it rusted to shit?
>>28931798No, from what I can see it's basically rust free, just a bit by one of the quarter windows.
want a 240 so bad bros
>>28931798because everyone wants 240s
>>28931847Is there even a difference if you aren't some boomer sperg?
>>28931940yes the 240 looks good and the others dont
>>28931940boomers dont buy 240s they buy gay corvettes and shit
>>28931703my favourite car, looks beautiful anontake good care of it
>>28931703S30 gang checkin in. 280z hereis that your white one? i always liked the widebody style look but mine is an original non-rusted survivor condition car so cutting on it is out of the question.they're ancient cars not originally built to stick around 50+ years so stuff does go wrong but theres still a decent parts support system for most stuff. I dont drive mine as much as I'd like because AC leaks and is still R12 and other stuff keeps getting in the way but it's one of those cars that everyone has a story about.
>>28931755headlight= you need to rewire them to put a relay in. right now all 12v is going from the battery, through that tiny switch stalk (microarc blasting material away each time) and to the headlight. there's an aftermarket relay harness kit that's pretty popular and they will be brighter just by doing this. if you dont like that then just get led'sbattery tray= i'll try to go to my storage location later and get a pic if i can, there is the metal shelf (hopefully yours isnt rusted to shit) the battery sits on and a threaded rod that goes across the top of the battery into that hole in the firewall. there is also an L-shaped piece of metal that clamps on the front, top edge of the battery to the rod. yours is probably missing because people nigger rig everything over 50 yrs
