Personally I wouldn't touch a 260z. I'd leave it original. It is already slowly starting to fetch more and more money (I have seen some go for over 15k) and if the trends continue I think it is going to be a true classic car a few more years down the track. I would love to get my hands on a 260z.

the reason why i was going for a rb25de and not rb25dett is cause of that stupid p plate law and too many cops no me :blush: as for goin for the L28 turbo its going to cost nearly as much but is very hard to track down tubo set ups in australia because they only came out in the usa

ps i have 2 260z :)

yeh they do go for that price sometimes i was lucky enough to get my second z for that price although it was quite rusty, its taken nearly 2 mounths to cut the rust out and glass and weld the rust holes and the was some bigens so for about an extra $500 of sheet matal, welding rods, glass and some blade putty im now upto $1000 minus seats and carpet and its still unpainted.

as for my first z its cost bout $5000 and it has reconditioned struts $500, recon front end $500, new exaust (yet to be put on), recon 350 holley $120 (its too small need bigger), new/old simmens rims $300, new carpet $200, new tyres $680, new gbox $300 but the price riped me and moved to uk so ill need a new one again plus bits and peices valued at bout $150, so in total money spend rebuilding =$2750 plus $2650 for the car hears some pics still more to do and the spoked rims are no longer on the car but still have them

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
