Senza pari 280z build

[SENZA PARI]

Daanmm that rotary ..... . drool .... .. : .... ... I bet a rotary would fit under your 280 hood

You could realisticly fit two 13B's under the hood with room to spare. We do have one sitting around, but as we already have one built in the 7, I'll take a different route. Plus, I'm not a fan a fan of the assymetrical layout, personally.

This build will go down in the history of 280Z builds and make no mistake Sir, you have pissed off hundreds of cats who thought they’re builds would never be out-done.

I salute you……………….

I have but one request; there is nothing on the planet sexier than a Nissan straight six completely worked with Webbers laying on the side.

I realize the engine is an old design, and I realize that you can get massive amounts of power from other units.

I also realize given the weight-to-power ratio’s with those monster motors the car basically becomes a skateboard with a Chevy 350 attached to it and all the handling capabilities go out the window.

All you’ll do is get sideways every time you bang the stick, and the rear will never hold with all those horses.

Please consider putting in a massaged straight six that will give you all the power you need as well as keep things very “Z-Looking” shall we say.

I’ll respect whatever you do in the end, but I’d love to a “Z” motor in the engine bay when she’s all done……………

I appreciate your kind words! And if it's a Z motor you want, you shouldn't be too disappointed then... I have a VG30DETT on the way, so a Z motor it is!
I do love the straight six, and the noise can't be beat, but for this build it needs to be a little more wild. The twin turbo setup will let me getting funky with the exhaust and plumbing, which I just can't do without:-)

Its about time to see moar!

Soon, I promise!

more pics?

Sure... but none just yet of the Z's progress. I've been gone this past week and will be up north for my bother's wedding. Good times:-)
Anyway, here are a few more of another 7 build for the time being:

Street exhaust with dump:

And just for fun... saw this bad boy over the weekend at the EAA air show. It brings in big-wigs/money from all over the world. You'll see some pretty wild stuff cruising through town during the week.

The exhaust actually exit right behind the front wheels... reminds me of the old Forester exhaust:-)

please keep the original wheelbase!

The stock wheelbase is much too short to handle the way it will need to, especially with the wider width. I do also prefer the look of a longer wheelbase... just my opinion of course... but in this case fuction trumps.

Updates in the Texas Mile 7 thread.

you gotta find something to do with that turbo L28 you were building, or just crate it up for my ZX. just kidding man, looks great!

Its a non-turbo, and I never had any intentions of doing anything with it... started an exahust manifold but got busy with some higher priority work. Do you need a motor?? I have no plans or need for it currently.
