ManwithSupra Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am only thinking about this at the moment as i love the Supra so so much and wanted to single her early this year... but I was thinking about doing a 280z restoration and do either a 2JZ,RB26, or some sort of V8 conversion but i dont have room for 3 cars (Daily, Supra and 280z) This picture is what has got me tempted... its pretty much what i was thinking in my mind, Ooooo what to do....

Ah i would have to make it an Oil burner to ditch the daily Which means i would have to ditch the Supra, although its been in my life for the last 6 years - would be difficult letting go. It must be me getting the 7 year Itch 1 year early !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Unless your over 50, you will miss a comfy modern supe! and youll be back, having a 2jz dosent make it a supra in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You'll be back & will regret it if you do that. How much is the project going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Do it, looks superb Have you sen the Z car on the front page of Driftworks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 240Z is much prettier. IMHO There's a detailed build on a 240Z with RB26 power somewhere, guy is in Stockport, Cheshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'd be more tempted by one of these myself. Has a "Mad Max" air to it. Probably a lot harder to source a good restorable example for reasonable money though. Still, yum yum! http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Mike%20Garrett/glossary/IMG_9209.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueangel Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i had a lovely black 2 seater manual 1978 280zx was lovely but thinking of sourcing a 260 or 240 at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There are loads of videos of a 2xxz (i forget) on Youtube. Was a guy called Darius iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I love the 280z's, like the 240's too but not as much There was a lovely black one on the cover of one of the jap mags the other month. I'd absolutely love an immaculate one with a single RB26 and modern suspension etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If you have the money and time for a project I'd be tempted to fit an RB26 or 2JZ to some kind of old American muscle car. It's a bit "Tokyo Drift" but it would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, get a crap non runner and whack a turbocharged straight 6 in it. That would be das uno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
