I broke all kinds of stuff on that car. That car was and still is a love hate relationship. I just can't sell it because I know I will want another one and they are not around.

I had a '71 240Z. I had a stroked 280Z motor installed (3.0 liter). Triple 44 mikuni's, can't remember which head I had on it. 5 speed. That thing was super dependable, would start right up. I did have to replace u joints quite a bit though :icon17:

My 1975 280zt was my first Turbo car. It was decently quick. Fast enough to outrun the headlights. The headlights on those cars weren't that great but I did have a set of Marchal headlights at that time. The open diff in the car would dang near try to kill you. It could be a handful at 11psi of boost but it was on rails for the most part. I also owned a 1987 300zxt. The 300zxtt was a piece of crap when I bought it. I fixed it up and had a nice TT car. The young man I bought it from got a DUI. Needless to say the car was neglected. That was my dream car. Maintenance on it was not cheap but I turned a wrench full time at Nissan while I went to school full time. It was tough. I wish I would have keep it. My wife still regrets letting me sell it.

I was looking into doing that to my 1980 280zx. Then I went for a ride in a turbo car and couldn't get out the seat when the TQ hit. I was hooked. I bought the 1975 280zt.

I was going to turbo the 240. The shop that built it was going to make a blow through manifold for the mikuni's. I was happy with it NA so I never followed through with the turbo
