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.

Welcome to RX7club. Now this swap I've never seen done. Was it hard finding that motor?

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!

That is a badass car, those are timeless lines. A buddy of mine up here has a 260z that he's restored, props on the build!

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.
