Sup yo! I just recently found out about this forum from my friend. I thought I'd post some photos of my 1976 Datsun 280Z up here.

Not a fan at all of the interior lights, but that thing is nice! Engine swap? :D

DaBombDiggidy · 05-29-2012, 09:04 AM

amazing, just hate the neons and writing thing on the door. don't let that detract from how awesome this car is though!

empera · 05-29-2012, 09:15 AM

goodknight · 05-29-2012, 09:18 AM

+1 to all the comments. Not a fan of the interior lighting or lettering outside, but the car looks fantastic.

OBEEWON · 05-29-2012, 09:21 AM

Great condition Z! Welcome.

Bates · 05-29-2012, 09:35 AM

Love the car. Not digging the lighting or the huge muffler. Aside from that it looks fantastic. Also, the Devil Z is blue and is twin turbo ;) lol.

Erik@R/TTuning · 05-29-2012, 09:52 AM

Very cool car. I love the color.

StreetEG · 05-29-2012, 12:06 PM

The writing on the door is the same as Takumi's 86 if I'm not mistaken.

Scapegoat · 05-29-2012, 01:31 PM

that's pretty ****ing sweet dude

TR MS3 · 05-29-2012, 01:51 PM

Very clean, Love this car! As other have mentioned, engine swap?

CherryBomb · 05-29-2012, 02:08 PM

That car was at J-Tune, right? I saw it parked right by mine in a picture on their website. Cool car minus the stuff other people have said. Any reason you don't have a rear bumper on it?

IzunaDrop247 · 05-29-2012, 03:28 PM

No engine swap. So far just an intake and headers. I removed the original big heavy chrome bumper cuz it was hideous and 40 lbs. I do have a thin 240-style bumper but I have to drill new holes in. The original 280 bumper had the holes positioned in different spots. Yea, I was at the J-Tune ECZA meet a few weeks ago.

IzunaDrop247 · 05-29-2012, 03:32 PM

Forgot to mention. L28 motor with N42 head.

igo4bmx · 05-29-2012, 04:42 PM

wow looks great.

would have loved to see a build thread on this car

jdmwill · 05-29-2012, 08:00 PM

amazing

k33pinitp0si · 05-29-2012, 08:03 PM

about time you got posted this mike...as always car is looking fresh

IzunaDrop247 · 05-29-2012, 08:56 PM

Haha, yea. Honestly, I wasn't really feeling the Fujiwara Tofu sticker from the moment I slapped it on. I originally bought it for my AE86, but it got stolen. I put it on knowing I can remove it any time. It was supposed to be a temporay joke, but I've been too lazy to remove it.
