evolution of Darius 240z (Darius Khasabasbasbasbasbsai or whateva)

The car is still cool, but I think it was better when it was just a Z. If he was going to take a car that far, he should have just started with a 2-seater 280 or something.

There is a guy on another forum that is taking a nice, real '07-10 GT500 and hacking it to pieces to make a race car. Seems like a dumb thing to do, but it isn't my money.

And that video is why I bought my 260.

I on the other hand think the new version is pure sex!!! (except for the PC big red bov sticking out the hood).

Why can't people just hack up 280s? Leave the 240s and 260s alone.

Mine is a 260Z 2+2 so its not as cool.

I'm with you, I loved the "stockish" clean look it originally had. I'd like to his reasons for going the way he went with it.

Darius got really involved in track days and car racing. With that in mind, it is easy to see what happened.

IMHO, I also preferred it as a kick ass street car. But I can easily see how that street car would NOT have been fun on a track.

'Looks like a wanna-be hood ornament to me

Overall, I like it

I had one, I LOVED it. It was far from stock though, but you could not tell from the exterior except for the exhaust and the 'hurricane' wheels.

Fuck opti's, I had an lt1 in my first swaped fc rx7, that was the only thing that gave me trouble.

I have one from when the car was new in '96 that still works. I have another one that supported an engine that saw 7200rpm every time it was out. It was replaced because of internet ju ju speak. If you want either one I'll sail them to you.

Lol, I was going to say that. Darius lives in the north bay SF, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a 1.2-1.5m house. My parents had a 4 bedroom rancher built in the 70's that sold for over 1m in 2002.

My parents bought there's in 72 for 39,500 and sold it for 220,000 in 1981, the house is currently going for 1.2 million. It is just a simple Ranch style house in Mountain View, CA that I grew up in....ridiculous!

I also own a 71 sbc power 240Z, I remember that video back in the day, badass!

Mine is driven all over the metroplex on pump gas, fun little street car!

Yeah, I know Mountain View, ours was in Clayton at the bottom of Mt. Diablo.
I've seen your car and everytime I drool!! Only thing I would do is an update to a Gen.III/IV smallblock.


Titties!!!!


I'm just running through different swap chassis. After the truck was broken into I've been contemplating an Ls swap in either a 240z, s13 240sx, e36, fdrx7 or a fox.

I currently have a 5.3 truck motor sitting in my garage waiting on winter to become a 382 LSX with a small power adder! Can't beat them for performance and fuel economy!
