It has been street tuned to 14psi and will be dyno tuned mid sept..
I'll get some pics up later of the countach we just finished and will soon be twin turboing!!! WOOT!!
...i'm not crazy about the fender lips or hood bulge, but the chin spoiler and rest of car are sweet!

I know I'm digging up an old thread here, but I just saw it and had to comment on it.
Yeah those fender flares don't look right... I have seen much nicer looking fender flares on Z's than that... I'm not a big fan of the huge cowl on the hood either... there's a much nicer looking smaller cowl hood for the older Z's available. It's still a nice car though, very clean, and I love the color.
Here's my '77 Datsun 280Z I just picked up a couple weeks ago... my new project:
Not the best looking right now, but I've got big plans for it. So these are one of your dream car's eh Nemo? Hmm... you work on SRT-4's, and you've done work on these older Z's... Part of my plans for this car involve swapping an SRT-4 engine into it. SRT-4 engine + RWD Transmission + very light weight 280Z =
If you want to sponsor the project, I'll rent a trailer and drag the car all the way down from my garage in MT to your shop in FL for you to build it.

I don't think you can afford my dreams.. ( Leno couldn't) But I'll gladly make yours come true.. For a fee..
on the blue car those fenders, skirts and rear valance are all hand made steel.. And were built about 9 years ago.. In person the car is awesome.
But I can put an srt-4 motor in yours or a sr20 or ka24det or rb25det whatever you like..

I can't even afford my own dreams for this car at the moment. I spent all my money making my dreams come true for my '04 Sebring Sedan. Hand made steel eh? Wow... I was thinking it was custom fiberglass work... that is impressive. I can see this Z costing me $20k+ over several years before I'm done with it.
I'll probably have changed my mind on which motor to put in it several times over and back again before I get the money together to actually do it. I've already contemplated SRT-4, Hemi, RB26DETT, Banks Twin Turbo Small Block Chevy... etc. etc. I like the SRT-4 engine idea the best so far, 'cause I haven't seen it done yet... everybody and their brother has done SR's, KA's, RB's, SBC's... a few have done the older Hemi's (haven't seen a newer one yet though). Also I think the SRT-4 would be one of the lighter choices for an engine out of all those.
This Z pictures make me wanna spend more money on mine than my srt-4
I currently also own a 1973 240z. And am in the process of doing the RB25det swap. Its alot more work than I anticipated, but going quite well.
The car is in 100 million peices, I just hope I remember how to put it back together.
Finding parts for the RB25 is a royal pain in the ass (ordered an N1 oil and water pump well over 6 monthes ago from Nissan Japan... still no pumps and now on backorder) . If I were to do it again, I may have gone with an SR20, but the SR is no RB no matter how much money you put in it.
