That’s pretty cool @SteveJ.......Any bets on how long before you get a call from your HOA? Right after they call your next door neighbor with the Pink Flamingos!

This car is incredible!!! Just when I see a restoration that I think can’t get any better than that, one gets better than that. I love silver Z’s. My first Z was a 1970 in silver with a black interior. The only thing that worries me is that it’s gonna be too nice to drive. Congratulations on a beautiful restoration!!!!

Like father ........like son. This car is going to blow the Z community away! Can’t wait to take the twin Safari Gold cars to an East Coast Z event.

Looking good Bob. I think I saw your car at Todd’s show several years back....or maybe another show. Twin turbo RB’s are somewhat an overkill for a Z LOL. I rode in one of my friend’s once and almost screamed like a girl! My son is building this one, but it’s gonna be NA.

Thanks Bob.....It looks better in person. I suggested to my wife that we could display it on our living room wall........the bruises only lasted a week lol. Stop by sometime....I’m in Richmond and BTW, see if you can’t talk Todd into another Hampton Car Show.....they are the best!

You can’t make this stuff up LOL! Don’t understand why it doesn’t sell, one just sold for $310,000.00. “Probably shouldn’t have used it for surf fishing....at least should have remembered to move it before the tide came in”!

Are you kidding me? You want to install .010 inches ( .25 mm) oversized rings on a standard piston? Never heard of anyone doing that, but am sure that would probably be a disaster! Get the cylinders honed at a machine shop, install standard rings on your cleaned up standard pistons and your gaps will be correct. IMHO

What wine would you suggest with a furry little nut eater? Red or white?

.......and tastes good in Brunswick Stew!!!

Ahhh, but by buying a thicker gasket, you are defeating your purpose. By buying a Stage III cam, you are improving the package. Why God created money!!! 😳

Good point grannyknot. I’m one of those that run 10.5 to 1 in my strokers, but a high duration, higher lift cam is supposed to solve that problem. I can’t make mine knock. I’m running Isky Stage III .490 lift with 20 degrees more than stock duration.

Never actually been attacked by one, but am damned sure if the guy that hid these behind the driver side front fender of my 71 car (found during restoration), ever sees me, I’ll be missing small pieces of my butt!

You are creating a lot of unavoidable work by using the E88 from a 260Z. That just isn’t the best head for performance. It will be cheaper to buy an early E31 or E88 and just bolt it on IMO. The 260 has a longer stroke, so not sure what the CR would be, but would be up there. I’ve never built that combo, but assume the parts would work together to provide 10:1 or so compression. Anyone done that?

Wow Site.....didn’t know that you were ever wrong LOL......wouldn’t admit it anyway. One point that people tend to miss. The fenders were bolted on when under the hood was painted....therefore the bolts along the top of the inner fenders were painted. The bolts on shock towers weren’t.

Happy Christmas! Everyone loves Santa.....maybe not the grandson so much.

Good point 7tooZ........I had to change my garage door lift to a roll up vs a center belt drive.......something to consider.

Beautiful Z car.......would love to see more pics.....I think Datsun yellow looks great!

My vote is definitely BendPak........Real quality lift.

All parts rust free.....only in California.....home of the silent electric vehicles!

Holy crap.....the rear quarter panel looks great.....worth $1,000.00.

No thanks Mike......I spent more on my sculpture than I did on my first Z. Saving my money to go to Holland next year with you to meet our girls!!!! Guy

Beautiful car.....great photography! Safari Gold rocks and so do your chrome bumpers. A great improvement Jim. Regards Guy

I agree Steve.....this is a car site and @Mike oughta make that clear.

Wish I could help Zup.......there are some things I leave to those whom do it for a living. Rubber trim is one of those items. LOL.
