After 2.5yrs of working on this POS every weekend, I finally took my 2JZ-swapped 280z for a test drive.

Listen to those 2jz noises! Absolutely in love with how the Datsun sounds with the 2J swap. Only drove it a couple miles so far, can't wait for more! The Apex Engineered suspension feels amazing also.

Customised my key with some "carbon fiber" vinyl, and it turned out pretty good! A bit rough around the edges, but for a 15min project, it looks pretty good

Wow the camera made all the imperfections super obvious 😂 it doesn't look that obvious irl

Getting a few things done

After my orthopedic appointment yesterday morning it was a nice sunny day for some pictures 😊. Last week I had to replace the steering rack, reworked the shifter to work better with the 6 speed manual transmission, installed a new in box period correct Audiovox stereo specifically meant for the GM X body cars (and the Chevette/T1000 also used the same radio), along with a NOS dash bezel. I also installed a set of LED headlights, and a set of struts for the trunk lid so it finally stays up on its own.

The plate says it all.

I thought this was a fanboy dropping stickers and trim to call this Fiat a Ferrari a bit of tongue in cheek and it was done very well, then I saw the plate. I forgot about it until old mate posted one he saw.

I reckon they look great.

First time seeing in person

This is the first time I've seen the 'new' tungsten coated rotors in person and they look insanely good. Does anyone here have them? Porsche and Lucid use them I believe but not sure about anything else.

Flathead Jack, nitro powered twin V8 dragster. My dad was a crew chief on the car when I was a kid. Currently in the Peterson Automotive Museum.

I have good memories being in the pits while my dad worked on it. Each engine is producing 650hp or so. The fastest pass this car made was in the mid 8s at 186mph. There's no car quite like it. Hearing 16 cylinders running on nitromethane is quite the spectacle!
