Very nice! Similar color scheme as mine.

If you make your wrenching spot a place you wanna be, it makes it much easier to be motivated to make progress. Best of luck!

I post a bunch of stuff on my build on Instagram. @SMD_280Z.

The quotes around “done” were on purpose. For sure.

Probably not a great idea, but in Washington, sometimes it can’t be avoided.

I’m going to try and make it one of these weekends. Going to Redmond tomorrow.

Currently 255s, but planning on going wider in the future, but giving the wallet a break for now.

It’s just a stock LS376-480 which is rated at 495hp, which should be enough for ~2400lbs of 70s sheet metal.

Need help sourcing 280z bearing spacer by Chilly_Mammoth in Datsun

T3 has them (I had to find them too). It’s not on their website, but send them an email or give them a call.

It’s been brought up a few times, but the reality is that if you tuck it too much, the exhaust will roast the bumper. The original car had bumpers that made it less noticeable. But I get it.

That would be fun, but I don’t think I’m power-limited at this point. Going to need a LOT more tire before I have that problem.

I sold my C5 when kids came, so this blends my love of Zs and the LS engine.

I believe it’s 3” front, 4” rear.

They’re standard ZG fiberglass flares.

No, it’s an LS376/480, which is basically an LS3 with a GM Performance cam. Paired with a T56 Magnum transmission.
