are 280z or 240z good projects? i actually have a 5.0 mustang and im thinking to get a 280sx, in which sites I can get parts? any other advice? im from puerto rico

 

Any Z that you are willing to love and put your time, effort, and sweat (blood) into and you enjoy it, is a good project.

No such thing as a 280sx. (unless you take a 280zx engine and put it in an S13/14/15 chassis)

You can get some parts here, and there are lots of parts on ebay. And of course the salvage yard.

 

An advantage of a 240Z or 280Z is that not every other car is one (unlike the Mustang).

 

These Cars A beauty... I recommend it and if you're into Muscle cars the 280z or 240z chassis can take certain v8 motors. Parts are easy to find here, junkyards, craigslist.org or motorsportauto. Good Luck.

 

I would like to keep the original engine but here in puerto rico there is no part for them in junkyards i think, its going to be really hard to find a 240z

which are the difference between 240z and 280z? i have seen many 280z

 

Displacement. All Datsun/Nissan Z cars 'number' relates to their displacement.

240z = 2.4L
260z = 2.6L
280z = 2.8L

And so on. It is still the S30 chassis.

 

LOL so that was a really question. i saw this 240z project in youtube "project hugo" and its look sick.
Im going to keep searching some more thnks!!

 

your prob not going to find many datsuns in puerto rico so must of your stuff is going to be sipped over seas. I work with a guy from puerto rico and he says it a different car scene over their. And his sister just picked up a black foxbody to DD in over their.

 

i know thats the problem but at the same time thats the idea have something unique, here you only see mirages, civics, 5.0 mustangs maybe one or two evo and sti. i almost get a rx7 tII but i decided to go for a piston engine.
DD= daily drive?? i use it as a daily drive and cant do many stuff to it cause of that, i use it for university and does not suit me waste to much gas
