Hi, My name is Luis and im kinda new to Z's...
.... My last project was a 1989 Nissan 240sx with an RB20det, it was super fun to work on and learn about cars on but the reality of trying to register a modified car in California kicked in as I was finishing the project.... so I sold it.
(was going to be a track/auto-x car)
I then wanted to buy a car I can mod and not get too much drama from California so I bought this car for $1500
The car was originally a California car for most of its life, then lived in Colorado for 4 years ( RUST! NO!!!!!) and now its back in California. I bought it from a shop that builds spec Miatas in Sacramento where it had been sitting for about two years and it needed some work (well a lot of work) to get it to run and drive properly I had to replace the brake master, clutch slave, the carburetors, intake and exhaust manifold gasket.
After dumping a ton of money into fixing it and getting it registered I was able to do a little photo shoot:
interior with a dash I got for free
after Re doing the front suspension bushings with poly and buying new wheels. I tested the car at a local autox.
New wheels and tires:
Bushings:
at auto-x:
and recently I had some rust in the floorboard repaired and ran the car on a Mustang Dyno
: Stock L24 from a 1973 240z with 72 su carbs (which I got for free!):
since my engine has "THE KNOCK" I bought this while I was in SoCal visiting my parents. rebuilt l28 block with .50 over bore flat top pistons, and a rebuilt p79 head with a Schneider cam and some triple webers
recent progress:
a little more progress for the z, little by little everything is coming together
