akumazedex Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 So I've finally got my hands on an S30 chassis. I'm now part of the cool kids club! Lol. Just picked it up tonight. Here's what I have. '74 260z with an L28 and a 5 speed. Aside from a crapload of extra parts it's reletivly stock. Currently doesn't run but just needs some carb work. Here's a picture. This is going to take over the s130 build for the time being, at least until I get it running an junk. Look out for more pics and updates. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Awwwwwwww shiiiittt. Im gonna come down and take all your extra parts lol, nice find but i think its funny almost every 240z starts off with shitty black paintjob at one point. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Lmao! Right? But the body is mint, one small rust hole in the floor, an some surface rust. Let me go back for the rest of the parts, I couldn't fit everything in the car lol, an ill post whatever I don't need for sale. Quote Link to comment
Npdavies. Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm glad someone picked this up! Saw it on CL too, seems to be a lot of people just figuring out that they aren't "really into Z's that much..." lolz. Can't wait to see where you take this though. :thumbup: PS... WELCOME TO THE CLUB. Quote Link to comment

akumazedex Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Got some stuff on the s30 today, replaced my jammed lock cylinder with another one, no pictures of that, just the tamper screws were a butt to get out. I then decided to paint the 240z tail panels. From this. To this I also got the car registered today finally $489!!! Fuuuuu back fees Here's what the plate got down to, there's one more underneath, so 84 And by the time I was all done messing around it looked like this outside so I called it a day Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Seems things have went along nicely so far, whats next? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Get the carbs tuned enough to get it drivable, and still need an alignment, and figure out the mess of hoses, or lack there of. An start on the paint Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 You got fucked with those fees... How long has it not been registered?? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Since '09 an gotta register again in August but that's change compared to what I paid lol Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 So I attempted to get the carbs tuned enough to get the car over to the shop an get ten properly done, in the process I found out that my poor 260 has a blown head gasket :( Right in the back left corner That being a big issue in my poor running motor I gave up and started attacking the paint. Sanding by hand sucks btw Quote Link to comment
