Relevant engine info:
F54 Block
P90A Head
Flat Top Pistons
Stage III Isky Cam and Comp Valve Springs
6-1 MSA Ceramic Coated Header
2.5" exhaust w/ Dynomax turbo muffler
12.3lb lightweight flywheel
ZTherapy SU Carbs w/ SM needles
N36 intake manifold
Stock airbox w/ K&N filter
Holy hell! That things quick!
This is awesome! Hope you are still active on this account to see this but would this compression be the 10:1 compression since you do have the f54 block? Im going high compression as well with after market cam and other small goodies. Yet the combo i am going with is the n42 head and n42 block flat top. Im hoping to get similar to this lol
***** My compression on this setup was probably in the low 9's. The P90 has bigger chambers than the N42. That N42 should bring you up above 10 no problem, and even more depending on what else you do (bigger pistons, shaved head, thinner head gasket, etc).
Peter Karla little update. Got an n42 block with flat top pitons and a p79 head combo now
Is that a 4 or 5 speed? Also how much did all of the mods cost?
280z 5 speed. You'd have to be specific on the mods, but honestly not too much. I was all in on that car maybe $13,000-15,000 including purchase price. Couldn't do that today, though!
I'm still debating if I want a Datsun or not yet but this video really has me considering one. If you have any tips or anything I'd love to talk more about the car with you
@@sawilson56 ask any questions you want! I've owned a few. Mostly Z's of various generations. The single most important thing when considering one of these cars is the condition of the body, in particular, rust. I'd take a car with minor rust and garbage everything else over the opposite. The rest is all easy enough to do, and for the most part not too expensive. Take your time to find a car with a super solid body and you'll be set. The early cars are starting to get quite pricey in good shape, though.
@@PeterSierraRacingSupply Yeah. Here's one I was looking at. classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1978/datsun/280z/101198963
That one is being sold as two. How hard would it be to tranny swap the 4 speed in the working datsun for the 5 speed? And how hard would it be to mod the car to get it to put out 400-500hp?
@@sawilson56 No offense, but the fact that you're asking those questions tells me you're in over your head to begin with. The transmission swap isn't particularly hard but you need the tools to do it. I'm assuming you've never attempted anything of that scale before. Modding the car to get 400-500hp? First off, that's a ton in something as light as this. The video of my car we're commenting on had about 175WHP and was very quick. You're not going to easily or cheaply get an L series engine to make 4-500, your best bet would be an engine swap. In my opinion, you're asking the wrong questions and you're going to end up regretting a purchase or project like this with your current experience level. Anything is possible with enough time and money, but you're trying to jump into the deep end with seemingly no knowledge on what to do. I'd maybe try starting a little slower and progressing from there.
Also, in my opinion, those cars aren't a great buy. They're both 2+2's which aren't very sought after or expensive, they say the second car has "little to no rust" but it's sitting in a field unprotected and I can see rust from their poor photos already. They're overasking for both of them substantially.
Hop on Facebook and join the group "Datsun Parts and Needs". Lots of cars and parts for sale and people with invaluable information. The "Datsuns For Sale!" group also has some good cars posted occasionally. Aside from that, start digging through forums, all questions you could ever want to ask about these Z's has probably been answered somewhere. Hybridz, ClassicZCars, ZDriver, zcar, etc, are all good sources. Also, books were extremely helpful when I got started, and still are today. How to Restore your Datsun Z-Car, How to Rebuild your Nissan/Datsun OHC Engine, How to Modify Your Nissan & Datsun OHC Engine, and Haynes manuals are huge helps. Oh, and if you've never seen bringatrailer.com/ check that out, too. You can subscribe to manufacturers and get emails when cars come up for sale. I've bought and sold a few things on there.
