After 10 years, we've finally got our Datsun 240Z to run. Problem is, this engine was in a WAY different position than we thought. Drive by wire system errors, PRP trigger kit issues, fuel cells failing, and leaks...everywhere. Karl from Lindgren Supercars was an absolute SAINT putting up with me and this build but ladies and gentlemen, we told Chad we were going to get this car running and by dangit; we did.
I really hope you enjoy this one. Thousands of hours went into this moment and i'm so thankful for all the support you've given us in the comments to keep going. The ONLY thing I need from you is answering this question: WHAT COLOR should we paint our Datsun 240Z? PS, the gray kinda looks tight...
I could seriously go for some subs & follow right about meow, so see the links below:
