260Z with 20b

Hi guys , My name is Doug and I have just purchased my first rotary.
Not just any rotary mind you ... A 20B fitted to a 260Z have owned a few Datsun's in my time.
1st car - 72 Datsun 1600 with stroked l20B to 2.4L and reverse pattern 5 speed.
2nd car - 73 Datsun 240z beast was more bog then car.
3rd car - 69 Datsun 240z chassis #160 to much rust for my apprentice budget
4th car. - 73Datsun 240z
Long abstinence from cars due to a lack of licence for 4 years .
5th car - 85 AE82 corolla ( free from ex girlfriend )
6th car - 04 BA XR6 ( sold when I found out how much a standard clutch costs )
7th car. - 70 XT Fairmont 260 Rwkw
8th car - 96 VS Clubsport
9th car - 11 VE Calais V (current hack)
10th car- 75 260z 20B powered ( current project )
I have purchased the car with the engine and gearbox already installed but nothing is hooked up currently .
Will start a build thread soon and show all the details .
As you can see have gone full circle in regard to cars and can't wait to try out a rotor .
Cheers Doug.

CA Welcome Aboard.

Awesome car list !!!

Nice 260z, they're hard to find in the states, good to see one for a change and with a 20B that is a good change!

No Zeds make terrible drag cars unless you 4 link the rear end.
This will be a circuit car and weekend cruiser.
Only aiming for 450 / 500 rwhp nothing to crazy.
