Hi I'm new to the 280z s30 chassie so I wanted to tell you guys my current build that I'm currently in the process of building.I was wonding if I could get some feed back and maybe some pointers or heads up on while I'm in the process to further help me to get the best I can out of this build.The help is much appreciated. thanks

The build
1978 Datsun 280z 2+2 currently all stock. I plan to put a ka24det.The motor has cp pistons 9.5:1,manly turbo tuff ibeam rods,stock crank, brain crower 272 cams,arp head studs and mains, borge warner(either 76 or 55mm) with 2000cc injectors.I have both turbos I'm just not sure right now which one im going with just yet.Also I have a 6speed trans out of a 350z and a aem infanty standalone that I will be using.I plan on either a ford 8.8 or 9inch rear end.The frame/unibody is pretty ruff so at this point im not chancing it and gonna go with full tube frame. I also plan on a cantilever front suspension.I still have quit a few parts to get But so far that what i have to start with.My goal is for around 6 to 700hp witch i know i can get out of the current build on the motor no problem but what my concerns are aimed more towards handling and keeping it look as stock from the outside as possible.

p.s i have plenty of pics but a lot of them are too big to post so if you know how to make them smaller that would help lol thanks

 

Sounds like an awesome project. Please keep us up to date. I'd love to see a 700 HP early Z car!

Most photo-editing programs will easily down-size your photos to something the forum will accept.

I use a Windows program called Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Under the "Picture" menu is an option called "Resize". You can specify several options including pre-defined sizes, a percentage reduction and so on.

 

Amir's SR20 260Z is pretty nutzo... A lightweight 4cyl pushes the weight balance back a bit.
