1977 DATSUN 280Z "GNOSE" CONVERSION
Just in time to catch the end of the summer…. This is one of my projects, and its time to let it go! I've included photos to show the process as I completed her. I started with a super clean 1977 Datsun 280Z, with the goal of taking it to as close to a JDM Gnose Z as I can. The car has been gone through, and is in great running condition. Transmission shift is solid and clean. Flaws: *( there isn't much ) The only minor negatives…. #1: a small dent in the passenger rear quarter, just above the marker light *( see photo ).. of course, like all car guy's, it was someone else who christened the car with a first dent for me. :-/ #2: Dash cap warped a bit from the sun… This is going to done before its sold, but figured I'd mention it from the photo's you can see it. I left it in the sun on a hot day, and came back to find it that way. *****This will be replaced prior to sale!***** The car is in great condition, and can be driven or showed the way it is. Here is the list of what has been done in the last year: New Yellow Paint ( Matching color OE…. body totally straight, NO RUST IN BODY FOUND ) New Blk Carpet interior Full "Z Car Customs-JDM" Gnose Conversion w/ CF front Bumper (Custom) Gnose Hinges ZG Lens Convers "Z Car Customs-JDM" ZG 14" Hubcaps ( Correct from Japan ) Chrome Fender Mirrors ( Correct from Japan ) JDM Rear Taillights (Correct from Japan) Rear 240Z Bumper Conversion Rear Tow Bracket New Door/Hatch seals. New fan clutch New Wires New Plugs New oil Custom Alternator Bracket - "Z Car Customs-JDM" Injector seals replaced Complete tune-up *( Just completed ) New Brakes all around New Fuel pump w/ relay wiring circuit New Clear Marker Lights New Turn Marker in Headlight buckets ( Custom ) Short Air intake ( Custom ) New EGR block off plate Vented hood New Locks in Doors New Shifter Bushing All gauges work (YES>>CLOCK WORKS!!!….. yah, really!!) New Dash Cap New retractable antenna *(There is no stereo installed ) New Billet/Black aluminum CNC knobs t/o car with "Z" symbol *( ie hood handle, turn signal handle, lock knobs, shift knob..) I'm sure theres something I've forgotten, but I tried to touch on everything. The only thing you could do to the car, is get some new tires soon. They have a lot of tread left, but show some weather Checking in the tread area. They were on there when I bought the car several years ago. With the sale of the car, I will include a "DATSUN" incandecent Meatball Logo Sign. The car is ready to drive… I've had fun showing, but I want to move on to the next project. Title is in hand, and ready for transfer. Drive Video: You can see a drive video of this car on Facebook…. Search: Z Car Custom's - JDM I've listed initial photo's showing the beginning of the car, and the transition to Gnose. I will submit more final project photos as I get them loaded up… So Stay tuned!! |

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
