    Boner-inducing Datsun content.

    I posted up a few pics of my last abandoned 240z build, as well as mentioned this build in my intro thread. I figured most people here could appreciate the sheer amount of time and effort sunk in to this car, on top of the $. This is a good friend of mine's 2jz 280z build that he is working on at our shop. The guy (Ivo) that's building the car is one of the most determined people i've ever seen not being paid serious $ to do this much work. I've seen him spend hours upon hours under the car with a scraper tool and a torch removing 30 year old factory undercoating, several days in a row. It's become a labor of love for him and i can respect that. It's also becoming one of the nicest/most impressive builds i've personally been around, and definitely the nicest i've seen not built professionally.

    I took this at work one day while he was still mocking up/making sure everything fit in the engine bay. Yes, the top half of the turbo inlet and above stick out of the hood....

    240zs are the shit. One of the few Jap cars I'd buy for a project car.

        I personally feel the same. It's why i went rb with mine. He's more concerned with power and 1/4 mile times than purism though. I couldn't turn an s30 in to a drag only car, but to each their own...this is an awesome example of one done right.

              I probably couldn't handle the power of an M10 with an intake and new air freshener, let alone his majesty 2JayZ. Best of luck to the owner in keeping that thing straight.

                  Nice car, not a big fan of the motor swap(even though it's a beast...), been looking into a datsun as a project in the near future, just fyi if anyone hears or sees one for sale, hit me up!
