DRIVE IT YA'BIG PUSS!!
I can follow with a shovel and broom to clean up the aftermath!!!

I had "CUSTOM WORKS" of Charleston WV to fabricate me a complete carbon fiber unibody!,right and left door shells,a rear hacth with intergrated wing,flared qtr panels and hood, the stock fenders had all unwanted material removed and placed on the front clip with all aluminum fastners,carbon fiber front and rear bumper covers,and I also aquired a SPOON SPORTS 1650cc sohcV-tec coupled to a close mission trans with a stage 3 clucthmaster's clucth pressure plate and alum. flywheel, spoon wheels(4Kg's each) a poly fuel cell, chromoly D.O.M. roll cage from fused-direct .
It is hands down the mother of all rexes!

1200 pounds wet with driver!

so bring it on sucka!

SOUNDS LIKE A REAL P.O.S.!

Dude! DONT DO IT!!!!!!
I am an avid freak!
260 -z was the shitbird of the flock! down here in WV I could get you one twice the car in a 240 or 280 for half that!
and the chassis WILL RUST into right under the battery on the lower right frame rail

*******260 -z is not a good car*****************

look past the flashy paint and wing!!!!!! look at the gallery at the z- car I have been 2ning on!
I have had no less than 20 z cars in my life and all were full house cars, the 260 is a bullshit copy of it's earlier counterparts!

the motor is low power, heavier,sorry ass carbs!
the carbs in the photo is a set of 32-36 webber DGV's some one like BOB SHARP racing tried that trick in the early 80's as an answer to the low power and shitty carbs! they suck!!

I was given a 71 240-z last week! running condition header,carbs and all!
dont waste your money!!
get a 240-z or a 280-z, 280-zx, 300zx or any but NOT A 260!!!!!!!!!!

one more year 1975 the first 280-z went to fuel injection and 2.8 litre power plant the body is same as the pic bbut they were VERY FASSSSSSSSSSST!!!! and reliable!

the fuel injection solved all the problems with the carb issue, plus a 280 block has a better coolant flow over the 260 and did not want to schorch the #5 #6 piston!

the 260 is an overbored 240 it has thin cylender walls and lots of overheating issues when modifed or drove to it's limits.

I am not trying to discourage you but if you gotta have a datsun Z research it a little before you throw down some hard earned cash!

the owner has probably done found out what he is dealing with (hence the loss of intrest in the project) for the same money and very simalar looks you could be in a sweet ass 240 or 280 they are the forgotten about 2nr car I have owned datsun Zcars since the 70's I KNOW!

OUR STUFF!

guess you had to be there?

here it is 88'DX 195/50-15 Falken Azenis open 4 lane hiway down a long grade 1.5 dual point injection,port and polish(mild) Jett re chipped ecu, adj fuel pressure reg premium fuel,aand 80-100 hp shot of NOS!
rpm's7,000 top speed 141mph indicated on a Garmin GPS held it for about 1/4 mile and let off, then a month later threw that engine in DA'TRASH!

I have pics of the instrument cluster and of the gps I will post them on the gallery!

******PROFESSIONAL DRIVER IN CONTROLLED CONDITIONS******

***********DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME******************

I own a auto collision shop and honda gives me a straight up 25% DISCOUNT ON EVERYTHING!

the weed has nothiing to do with it!

when I got back from "phily" I hit a 149!

DUMBAZZ! and got this great idea for a new turbo direct port Nos I just need some cubic inches under the hood so it is easier to make power!

i was at the strip thursday and after a hard winter the little DX still pulls down 10.5's
but I am working on this QUAD CARB d16 direct port nos and Si trans we willll see how it does!
Oh Yea I now Own a full on RACE CAR! 88 crx Si with only 10 thousand miles!
Been a race car since new!

BETTER BREAK OUT THE BOOKS "SUCKA'S" Jony GOTZ Da' 146 Yo!

Any OnE WaNt To Go 2 "philly" Yo!

WAIT TIL I GET THOSE MIKUNI'S ADAPTED TO THE INTAKE!

"penetration" is not the problem I have it is finding something to "penetrate"

I want some stickers!
they are 15+ wheel horsepower (per side)

I am a carb fanatic and I have always thought they would work!
the intake in the chop saw cut off about four inches from the base long runners give lots of torque(bottom end) short runners top end revs!
I used to race karts and I ran some highly modified 4cycle briggs class I built a manifold and was running two tillotson carbs on a 5 hore block and it kicked ass!
I also mounted a 44mm webber IDF (down draft) on a stock DX intake with a phonelic(composit ) spacer/adapter. it was awsome but the 1.5 would really be happy with two side drafts or 4 moto carbs just has to be at least same displacement as honda motor i.e. carbs from a 1500+ cc bike to see any real gains in performance any smaller would be all fluff!

I have access to ALOT of goodyear eagles catilever racing slicks 13x8 they are very sticky!
I mount mine up and drive the 5 or 6 miles to the event to warm them up!
or just get them wet and do a big ass nitrous burnout!

funny you would say that!
I was in the MARINES stationed in JAX NC in 1985 and I drove a new DODGE CHARGER 2.2(wow) and the dealership also sold Honda's one day while the 2.2 POS was getting serviced I was roaming the lot and in the showroom was a new86'Si CRX with all these crazy ass Japan writing down the sides and big fat fenders and kick ass wheel's
It was a MUGEN prepped Si.
I was just to dumb to trade the dodge for it I thought it was some hokey dealer installed shit.
I WAS WRONG !

JET BOAT!!!!!!!

I am building a 1973 wriedt stinger BigBlock Olds 455 ROCK-It!
18 ft berkley pump place diverter and intake AA impellor!

I WOULD RATHER WALK AND CARRY A HONDA EMBLEM IN MY POCKET THAN DRIVE A STINKIN' AZZ FORD Yo!

HEY!
Thats the same kit I have on my 2g 88'rex I am a body shop guy and from x-periance I can say IT WONT WORK!

dont get hooked! I tried a piece of mine and it is totally different!

1G 2G are two totally different rides!
L8ER

me and LEW shot some awsome drift's in my 1G dx and my 2G DXSiR!
HA!

I have a friend up in cleveland OH that swears by that junk for racing production class they look like prelude carbs but they are not they will bolt on a 2gen d15 or d16 they run good but nothing to write home about!

the carpet trick is this: My old man used to deal in trade in cars and he could take an old hagard out carpet and make it look new like this......

bucket of hot water ,add RIT fabric dye and about a 1/4 cup of BABY SHAMPOO!

vac off the carpet (WITH SEATS REMOVED) SOAK THE CARPET and with a med. bristle brush scrubb the rug with the dye/shampoo mix(wear gloves) and then vac it out with a wet/dry vac, start the car(out of the garage of course) and turn the heat on HIGH with all the windows up and a slight crack at the top of one let the car run for 15-20 minutes the moisture will escape out of the cracked window and the carpet is dry !
PLUS the whole air heat system is fresh smelling and the carpet will look like new!

I did this to a 300zx that had crappy light blue grease stained carpet and went with a darker blue dye and it looked AWSOME for about 5 yrs!!

Black carpet really looks new this way!

NOW the MA audio issue they areabout two yrs old and I jam the fuc* out of 'em daily have never had a glicth! the amp is.5 ohm stable and can handle alot of punishment it is digital and makes great use of power 3 600W dual vc 12"'s I can raise a 1 litre "BIG SLAM" Mountain Dew off the roof 2 inches! Holy Shit man thats loud!

does "not given" have any auto parts stores?

Advance auto parts sell NGK plugs and can PDQ NGK wires in one day!
(of course my honey work for NGK and she can overnight parts from JAPAN) they only cost around $50 USD it is good innvestment for reliability!

sounds like it got runn till it overheated that causes detonation and the blown head gasket!
be sure while you have the hhead removed from the car to check the sealing surface with a straight edge and feeler guage to make sure it is not warpped!

I have a thick piece of glass onto wich I place a sheet of #400 grit wet or dry sand paper, then spray a light coat of cheap spraycan paint on the sealing surface of the head and make a pass or two over the glass/sandpaper it will leave paint in the low spots if all of the painnt dosn't come off in a couple of passes 5 or 6 it should be all clean if not a good indication that your head is warped from too much heat! if you have a good machine shop nearby have the head resurfaced but no more than a couple of thousanths or you will run into other problems.

good luck!

Hey!
Send LEW a PM he has some spare ECU's in his parts pile! he wont hurt you on the price either, hhe had somewhat the same problems.

those sensors are in the dizzy I think?

LEW also has some spare dizzy's and parts HIT HIM UP!

L8ER

Hey!
YOU FORGOT 1

POS! pice of shit!
