R. Chris' 77 280Z Build

[USDM_Celsior]

Some of you may remember when I came onto this forum with my Lexus on Rezax back in 2013...


I ended up selling her without the wheels, and selling the wheels separately to later get this.. As some of you that may know me personally on here, or from the S30 i had owned back in 2010-2012, I must say the S30 chassis is my passion and absolutely my favorite car in the world hands down.


So far:
Triple 45MM Weber Carburetors
JDM Haruda Triple Carburetor Manifold
Carter P4070 Hi-Pres. Fuel Pump
BC BR Type Coilovers for S30Z
Gas tank clean out/rust removal









and this is how they sit as of today, the fuel plumbing isn't final either. prob gonna go with some banjo and AN fittings, steel braided, you know, typical shit.

Very nice work so far, there's so much good in S30's. What are the plans for the build?

thanks, next set of mods would probably be: 3.90 differential welded, energy suspension bushing master kit, and maybe front rcas.. later on new front and rear control arms, big sway bars, big wilwood brakes rear disk conversion , ect. Dreams to be reality eventually lol.

Those engine bay pictures! Jealous! Sub'd!

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Those carbs... unf.

S30s are the bestest. Tuned in to see where this goes.

Sup guys, finished my harmonic balancer install today and also installed a 3 row radiator and a nice little E Fan.










More to come soon

Bad ass!

[anti.engineered]

i like your car! i do not like big radiators with little fans though. get a bigger one/shroud and tell that vegas heat who's boss.

any resto work carried out before you bought it? paint looks too good.

[TeagueAuto]

Sub'd. I cant wait to see the finished product, I liked what you did to the lexus but you can never beat the look of a datsun!

[USDM_Celsior]

Thx yeah fans a little too small, but it was free and its winter time atm lol. I really want a Mishimoto fan...and no restoration just re sprayed though. Teague, thx i loved that car but i couldnt live without a Datsun!

[FunfGang]

Love this so much!

Best place in the world to own a s30. Looks amazing

[Pi-Eater]

Looks good! Personally would add a G-Nose, like the look of it. Still nice car tho!
