The Datsun decals are some vinyl stickers on some white perspex, just used a generic Datsun logo i found on the net and asked a vinyl guy to make them to size, they are also backlight with led lights that light up looks great at night.

UNLESS THERE IS A REASON I DON'T KNOW OF...??? not really, i dont know what youre expecting. top speed is around 100 even when shifted into maxuim overdrive.

Drifting at 70mph is fine with me?? as for the hood, now the back of the hood is lifted and now the hood closes all the way in the front and looks nice, I had to "fabricate" some from a few Jenga pieces ??? it actually has good grain to the wood so it really don't look shitty...?

Sounds about right on yours. I got 110 with wrong speedo pinion with 4.11s. It was over 5K L20B 710. My '74 got just over 90 with L18. I think the Z20 had slightly more torque at lower speeds, just a hair. I don't think it would top end like an L series though. Quote Link to comment

Yup, 110 with 3.54 rear gears and Z tranny The only Zseries ive driven on the street was über güber's z24 with flattop SUs with no oil in them and little to no return spring. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Z24 swapped Z20S? Flattop SU's?? Or did it have an L head on it??? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I've just built a Z24 with U67 head and wondered how well it pulled. Uber Goober? Got a link to the thread??? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 it was a 2.3 and you couldn't really drive it ,, like FAT alluded too.. It was either idle or WIDE FUCKING OPEN!!!!!!!! then frantically flipping your foot under pedal to somehow slow down before you died in a ball of fire,,, when we drove it.. ( Jrock traded him for it,, now Hubblebubble has it n his brok210) , 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not his build thread but he lines it out i finally threw all those KA blocks he used the pistons out of ,, that he left here,, away a couple months ago. . 1 Quote Link to comment

As with almost anything, wheels and a drop are the great equalizer. Look even more decent with ZG flares... Not low enough but you get the idea... 2 Quote Link to comment
