Built by a good friend of mine between 2014 and 2017. All the best components installed without cutting up, or over modifying the car. Meticulously thought out, and painstakingly fitted everything to insure this would be a reliable, drivers car.
Drivetrain is all Datsun. The donor car was a 1981 280ZX turbo. Even the factory brake master cylinder heat shield was installed into this car. The car is a user friendly hot rod, that has a ‘factory’ feel to it. It’s fast, yet civilized. Suspension and brakes are very capable. The interior retains its original Datsun charm, with the red color being a subdued hue that is both welcoming, and sporty.
Visually, the car is a delight, and it’s difficult to park it without looking back. The 16” Watanabe wheels give it the perfect stance, along with the coilover suspension allowing the car sit low on its haunches. A great addition to my Datsun collection, and I’m proud to be the current caretaker of this wonderful Z!
Factory correct 901 silver, with red interior. All original body and floor panels.
