Ghost's New Scoot - 260Z

Ghost of Duluth · 06-05-2004, 12:51 PM

Finalized a deal for this today. 260Z with a 302 roller in it. 302 is coming out and the six with the Maxima head is going back in it. Gave my CRX and 500 bucks for it. ALL that bodywork is hand rolled metal. No fiberglass on the car. Has roll bar, seats, fuel cell and suspension on it. It's fat-tascious.

nissanguy_24 · 06-05-2004, 02:14 PM

man im jealous! a 260 to boot. not bad. What do you plan to do with the new motor? and what are your reasons for swapping out the 302?

MrodDrft · 06-05-2004, 02:20 PM

cuz it needs a good motor

Ghost of Duluth · 06-05-2004, 04:16 PM

I like the 6's in the Z's. Plus it kinda goes with the whole Sixgun thing don't you think.

banged240_drift · 06-06-2004, 11:18 AM

And here i thought you would have some technical philosphical reason dealing with power delivery or handling.. lol i am so disilusioned

Norcalidrifter · 06-06-2004, 11:22 AM

Nice car man!!!! Good find

Pennyman · 06-06-2004, 12:18 PM

You now have an S30 Z. I'm proud of you. Prepare for a profound life-changing experience.

mranlet · 06-07-2004, 06:11 AM

It looks like a bonneville car or something with those solid rims...

I thought the whole Sixgun was about the rotating combustion chambers, like on a revolver - I thought it was super-clever...

Slap a rotary in that piece!

Pennyman · 06-07-2004, 12:19 PM

I've never heard of putting a rotary in a Z. It doesn't make much sence to put a relatively small rotary in an engine bay that has the potential to hold a Detroit V8, except for balance reasons. I even think the V8 would be the lesser of the two evils, because at one point the "scarab Z" was sold in the U.S. with a V8. If you want an old, long nosed rotary car, buy a 1st gen. RX-7. Good plan putting the 6 back in, Ghost.

And it is by no means a "piece". I think it's a really sweet find myself.

marshun · 06-07-2004, 01:14 PM

oohhhh. nice.

put a hemi in it. hehe. (im joking. gotta make it clear for those who get retarded over a joke)

StreetDreamer · 06-07-2004, 01:36 PM

its nice. whyd u give away your crx though? wouldnt u prefer to have different drive train cars to play with? anyways i wanna see how this car will be souped up, and by the way, ghost, do u got ste with your car and info and whatnot?

Hehe, sorry. I didn't mean to get "retarded", but I didn't know it was possible to type sarcastically either. I guess I just take things too personally.

DrifterN · 06-07-2004, 06:28 PM

whoooooooooo nice pick up Ghost of Duluth! pretty krazy a** 260Z......

heh I'm in the works of trying to get a 90 MX83 Cressida and converting some of it to a JZX81.....but i'm still debating if its worth the money

Ghost of Duluth · 06-07-2004, 07:05 PM

Nah Sixgun started out as an idea for all import makes to come together from all the sports and swap ideas about products and the needs of motorsports. It hasn't quite taken off yet.

Garage-Sixgun is the company that I started and we are starting to make products. It was going to be Carbon Fiber but things changed. So we went another way. We are also starting to install SR's. We have 3 on the slate over the next month. My partner is Scott Tacket, ex installer for Unstable Hybrids. We do business a little differently from that establishment though. Actually alot different. So look us up for all those needs.

As for the Z, it will be my 1st 260. I have had 2 240's and 1 Farilady 280zx. I know all bout them there Z challenges.

PrOxLaMuS© S30 · 06-07-2004, 10:11 PM

um.. wow that doesnt even look like a Z anymore except for the windows and the long nose

Looks good though.. but probably build for speed speed speed.

Pennyman · 06-08-2004, 12:03 PM

Hey, nice to see that PrOxLaMuS is still around. Yeah, Z's have their problems, goodluck with yours though. That's awesome that there's no fiberglass on that car, what a find.

mranlet · 06-08-2004, 01:52 PM

Like I said, looks like a bonneville top speed car.

Ghost of Duluth · 06-08-2004, 02:36 PM

Gonna be a Knoxville top speed car. About the closest thing we have to the salt flats is a dusty Sams Club parking lot.

You could drain the atlantic.. i heard it was small...

Pennyman · 06-08-2004, 05:19 PM

Hmm, you could make it like a replica of the Z from "Wangan Midnight". Paint it midnight blue and get a tranny with some super tall gears...Or you could keep the close ratio 4 in it and drift it, hehe.

mranlet · 06-09-2004, 07:02 AM

Or have 2 gearboxes!

A Shuto Kousoko TRIAL version car would be hot!

Or you could get that S13 front end conversion

-MR

Ghost of Duluth · 06-09-2004, 07:33 AM

I think I am going to switch the front end out. It has a one piece on it that has been worked over hardcore with steel. Looks alot like a GTO front end. I like the Z front end more. So I am going to look for a stock one then work the fenders into it. Not a big fan of the grill on my front end. Also might change out that fuel cell to a larger one if I can find one. Not sure yet. But then again, I may just drive it like it is and have fun.

mranlet · 06-09-2004, 07:40 AM

If you're going to Touge it, I'd save all that fancy bodywork and sell it on E-bay or something. Stock Z lines look hot anyway...
