Hi there. Been on this site browsing for a while, thought I'd register and post a coupla questions I have.
firstly, I have only just bought first datsun. Havent even picked it up yet or driven it!!!!
Previously Ive had minis and capris, which I have worked on loads myself and I'm mechanically competant, just dont have Datsun specific knowledge!!
Ok, Ive got a 280zx. I wanted a 240 but hey, you gotta start somewhere. its a nice shade of faded brown and worse still, its an auto. Sooooo.....
1) is it easy/hard to convert to manual? Whats involved and any nasty little surprises if I try do it?
2) its jetronic isnt it? how responsive is it to mild tuning (as in, nice manifold/exhaust and something like a K&N filter kit) will it automaticaly adjust, or will I have to play with it? previously been used to carbs!! Ahhh thats what it needs
3) as for styling, any places I can get some fibrglass for it? Not a bodykit. I was thinking a small 'ducktail' spoiler and some flared wheel arch spats, and a front bib. Not a big chunky front spoiler, just a 70's style like my capri had
Im sure I had more questions. I'm sure I'll think of them later!!
Thanks!
