I do love the idle, shakes the car alittle, and turns a few heads, especially in a Z car.

I am running the stock R200 with 3.54 gears.

I am not sure if its because its a 6.0, but I am not lacking ANY low end grunt at all.

What motor are you running in your Z?

 

An LS2 crate motor. Not too different from what you have

Nope, not too different. Mostly compression and block material.

I had planned on swapping some worked over 5.3 heads on my LQ4 at a later date which would raise my compression to around 11:1. However until I get my traction issue straightened out I don't think adding more power on tap would be wise.

 

any updates? I was following this on here, and on HybridZ. Cool cars. I have an LS1 waiting on an S30 in my garage. Just gotta sell the bike, and find a clean car!

 

Well I've managed to munch a set of spider gears in the stock R200 so I just welded everything up (poor-man's spool) until funds allow a LSD unit with CV's to replace it. I have also started messing with the bodywork again. Hopefully I'll have a budget paint job on it by June, but time will tell.

I am also have plans in the future to replace the truck intake with a Edelbrock Pro-Flo intake. I have the hood clearance, and its just alittle more $$ than a stock LS6 intake and half the cost of a FAST with greater gains.

 

what did you use for a shifter?

 

B&M Pro-Stick. Works great too. I've used them in previous cars too, so I knew I would be getting what I wanted.

Take care.

 

You have to take that sucker to the strip and make a pass with it.

A friend had a 260Z with a stock LS2 and larger cam, JTR headers, a tune with a T56 transmission and it went high 10's@130mph+ the first time to the track on drag radials. Those old school Z cars are light!

 

very nice. my friend just bought his z and is now searching for a transplant.

 

can you take some pics of how the shifter is setup, maybe the cable to thanks

 

awesome build!!!!!, im about to finish up my lq4 t56 swap in my 240sx and then i want to start a datsun z lsx build with a t56

 

i was soooooo close to going s30/ls1 ...now I'm wondering if I should have gone that route after seeing this thread! I bet that thing hauls! sweet build.

 

Here is a pic of the same shifter in my last Z car, it was done exactly the same in the current car.

I welded a plate to cover the manual shifter hole, then mounted the shifter to the plate as if it were any ordinary trans tunnel. Same goes for cable routing.

 

Let a friend drive it at the track

 

Sure thing, they'd just have to be a female, under 30 years of age, under 120 lbs, under 5'8", and have at least a D cup.

I'd be happy with that, so would my wife.

 

That one is sig worthy

Keep it up man and get some meat under those fenders before track time!

 

hmmm so a 120 pound D cupped 4 foot circus midget is what you guys are into huh?

 

I'd like to help with the paint and bodywork ive painted 4 motorcycles and my 96 ws6. for exchange in helping me with my 69 firebird lsx swap. I'm no pro but have gotten pretty good with the painting, plus i have access to a booth. i posted pics here

Hmm, that might work. Do you live in or around Bakersfield?

 

That's a bad *** ride, bro!
