1972 Datsun 240Z Powered by a Skyline RB26DETT
Added on Aug. 17 by ww

After nearly 4 years on this project, I finally drove it home last friday and it made it’s “public” debut at the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca!

Wow! You put an awesome power train in a beautiful car! How much is it putting to the ground?

Thanks. Right now, while the motor is still being broken in, it's limited to just over 280 rwhp. Once the break-in is complete, I'll be tuning it for just under 500 rwhp. :D

looks awsome, but definate sleeper. Sure it would blow the doors off more than a few unsuspecting turds.

I saw this car at Eurosunday a couple of months ago. Incredibly clean. Great job on the build!
