At Z Car Garage we love to help people find the right Z. When our friend and fellow Datsun nut Eric G asked if we could help advertise his Z and find a good home for it, naturally we obliged! Eric owns several Japanese sports cars including a nice Datsun Roadster and this 1973 S30 was his autocross/drift daily driver:
This isn’t an ordinary Z though as it hides a complete 280ZX Turbo drivetrain swap including the L28ET, BW T5 tranny, R200 rear end and full disc brakes!
Old school Recaros inside the clean interior and a straight, metallic blue body make it a great driver. Rob thought this was a great fit for his friend in Georgia, James A.
Before shipping the car across the country Rob modified the old-school wastegate acuator to allow a modest increase in boost. This resulted in +20hp/19tq to the wheels:
Loaded up…Georgia bound and ready to stay in the Datsun family!
We are happy to report the Z successfully made it to Georgia and James is already Enjoying The Ride!
