NZeder's Datsun 260z Build Thread

[nzeder]

So that is/was the road car project (pervious few post on page 4). With MSNZ changing the main hoop size rule upgrading this cage to a full cage was out of the question therefore I purchased the full caged 260z at the start of this thread.

Now back to this flared car as I have been putting more of it back together to make room for the full caged car in the shed I was thinking why am I installing a modern twin cam engine (on carbs to look like the twin cam that nissan fitted to the s30 chassic in Japan). Given the body work replicates the Group 4 body work why don't I have 2 racing Datsun 260z. One to T&C rule (aka fully caged 260z with stock body work) and one schedule k/fia appendix j group 4 replica (aka flared Datsun 260z). I have enough period parts to build both these cars so that is what I have decided to do.
