if you do that to your car, i will have lots of man sex with you.

LOL at FC3 :P

The zed is an historic racer. Originally it was going to get RB26 or 2JZ treatment. While i was saving i had a crack at regularity and hillclimbs/sprints. MASSIVE fun, quickest in a competetive field, and can't compete with that many mods/engine swap so the L28 stays.

BTW, that blue one is owned by a 21 yr old guy in america. Now sports a 350Z engine soon to be twin turbo... I want it... ALOT... infact i'm tempted to paint my car that colour when i respray it some time next year...

[dstyle]

really nice z.
could really benifit with a rotor :P
would suit it well

[T-Diddy]

one of the finest examples of a 260z out there..

[Halle Terry]

Seriously man, bolt on those wide arches, throw some watanabes on it, it will be fucking sweet.

I cant find the pic, but theres a tuning house in Japan that has done some stunning 240/260's etc

Hey dude it's James here, used to work with ya lol. Car is looking good, for anyone who hasn't heard this it sounds tough as.

[Whittie260]

Hey James,

Yeah mate, good-ole poker days. You still working there? Still got the yellow silvia i see.

[vrocious]

awesome car man, love the 260 plates too, i grabbed 280 for mine

[BP-13B]

Very nice, good to see someone still playing with the old L series 6 cyl.
Good power result too.

[Cochee]

Hey man, awesome car.

Funnily enough ANT1 was telling me about this car last night and i got home and Bang there was a showcase.

[Whittie260]

Cheers Guys :)

Haha, Jeff right? Yeah Antoine told me yesterday he got a call from you "Your mate Tom? Been to fucking bathurst!!!! Asshole :P"

Heard about your car mate, tough luck hey. You ever figure out who did it?

[Passage GT]

the ld28 cranks are quite rare and people want a mint for them...

though brings the L28 out to 3.1lt or so?

[Whittie260]

Yeah i looked into diesel cranks a couple years ago and they are WAY too expensive. I'm happy with where it's at. Doesn't need a rebuild just yet so it's staying as is for now anyway.

Stroke and 80 Thou bore takes it to 3.1L. It's currently 60" bore so stroke would take it to pretty much 3.1 anyway. Not a whole lot of extra power when you stroke though, more the extra torque, and it's got heaps!

Car looks good mate, nice work!

Can someone link me to a build thread of that, or tell me what that colour is? I'm in love.
