Akumazedex S30


Recommended Posts

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.

And then I swapped out to the 240z turn signals and grill, gotta cut out the horn brackets because the center valance doesn't fit.

Now I need a battery and gas and I should be ready to test fire the motor.

Oiiii you got a handful lol, fingers crossed and best wishes? Hahaha. I saw a guy that had a legit fairlady that was Swiss cheese litiraly, it was baaaaaddddd. So, how bad can it be? Lol I've been looking a long time for one with a solid body, all the other ones I've seen needed extensive rust repair, mostly replacement haha

 

 

Funny enough, my s130 looked like that when I first dug it out from behind my work lol

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.

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
