I like it. A car like the Noble is a kit too. If it is done great who cares if its a kit? go forth and kick ass.

But a Noble isn't trying to be anything but a Noble. This is a Datsun trying to be a Ferrari. Like a Pontiac trying to be a Lamborghini.

Its a okay kit but I dont think you will bring top dollar with it or anything.

I'd say that's probably a 240z as well from the interior, but it's too fuzzy to tell for sure, there's minor differences in the interior from 240-280 but not huge ones. A cleaner shot of the interior would probably make it easier. Definitely an S30 Z-car, I'd venture to say it's probably a 74, and not an 84 and the guy just got his decades wrong.

If you want to REALLY do it justice...Remember 250 GTO's came with 3.0L V12's. Older BMW V12's are readily available for quite cheap, and with the money you save getting the block, you can spend on custom machine work to make the mounts. If you get a custom crank and rods you can even lower the displacement to get closer to the real Ferrari experience.

There's lots of guys on HybridZ.org who can help you more too, several of them have Kit 250's on their S30's.

It's a 280z. Thanks for the info, will be checking in to it.

Never did I say that it would bring top dollar. I have alot in it, and would be happy to get more out of it, that is if I really do decide to sale it....which I doubt. I see it, as being a nice replica when it is "restored", and you left out one other notable kit car, fox body Mustang trying to be a Shelby Cobra. I don't see anything wrong with a kit car, unless it's just not built in a tasteful manner. Basically, I could care less if others don't like it because it's a Datsun trying to be a Ferrari, that isn't why I got it. I've never in my life seen one on the road like this, so yeah. Also, I'm not being an ass, just sayin'.
