A quick video of the twice pipe exhaust installed today.

I need to do a better video with the car warmed up a little longer. It's way too cold outside........

Thanks to everyone.

Currently, it's all stock. I'm in the process of restoring it. I had it transported from LA to Dallas a little over a month again. The transporter damaged the rear hatch and I'm currently working with the insurance company for a settlement.

So far, I had the basic parts replaced:
New battery
New master and slave clutch cylinder
New alternator
New MSA twice pipe
New Centerforce clutches
New distributor
New plugs
New plug wires
New aluminum radiator with dual electric fan

Once the hatch is repaired, I have the following parts that I'm going to be installing.

New full dash cap by Courtesy Nissan
New NOS center console by Courtesy Nissan
New Brake and E-brake boot covers by MSA
New Steering wheel by MSA
New injected molded seat foams by Classic Datsun.
New reprod of original vinyl seat covers by Classic Datsun.
New 15x8 XXR 002 Gun metal rims
New complete carpet kit by MSA
New complete headliner kit by MSA
New Tokico HP with 1" lowering springs
New 3 into 2 headers by MSA
New throttle body and cold-air intake system by MSA
Complete re-chromed front and rear 240z bumpers
New rising rate fuel pressure regulator
And, full body paint job.

I love the car. Thats the car I fell in love with as a kid and said I want to have one when I grow up. Neighbor across the street had one, and I pushed my bed up against the window so I could lay there and stare at it. Everyone else wanted Cameros and Stangs. I wanted the Z. Please take more pics when you can.
