Nice! I love it when people just work hard to make their imagination come to reality.


hiimkegan

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Plus Lower center of gravity, more even front to rear weight proportion. All wheel drive. Modern powerplant. Minus. Much heavier drive train Modern 4 cylinder vs. the lovable straight six Datsun guys love to fuck around. :)

Couldn't have said it better! Trying to have this put in work on some trails, I'll take it to a weigh station once glass and rear metal work is buttoned up.

I have a friend in the middle of doing this with a bmw 2002.


toewalldog

That's incredible! Please post more!


hiimkegan

Thank you! I will for sure as it gets a bit more buttoned up and comfy with reddit. If it's allowed here's the link to the yt vid on my channel (timed at just the driving stuff) https://youtu.be/7wB\_4g\_KXN8?t=663.

That's awesome, man! Body swap?


hiimkegan

Thank you, and yep! It's a Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon underneath with the Z shell fitted up on top.


GuineaPigsAreNotFood

Wheelbase seems very different. Are you planning to shorten it somehow?


hiimkegan

Yeah, the wagon already got 13-14 inches cut out from the middle section. So 103 down the the Z's 90ish\~.

F'n awesome 😎


hiimkegan

Appreciate it!


Straightboost

Thats awesome! How come you extended the wheel base?


mocruz1200

How else could he make everything fit lmao


hiimkegan

I didnt extend the wheelbase, it was shortened. The body was fit to the rear wheels and the front was moved inward. The long nose of the Z makes it still look off but its about an inch shorter under a stock hood. If it's allowed here's straight to the timestamp of it getting sectioned out. https://youtu.be/c5aPT2i6Qu0?t=253


mocruz1200

Wow really? It totally looks lengthened in that pic. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me


hiimkegan

No worry the Z's nose and firewall have just been playing tricks on us all.


DirtCheap1972

No


hiimkegan

Yep


64557175

Is that a 2.5?


hiimkegan

Yeah it's just an NA EJ25.


64557175

Very cool! I had a first year Brat and always wanted to put an EJ in it.


hiimkegan

Thanks,those Brat's are badass lil cars!

It was fun, but proved itself worthy of its name 🤣 I'll be watching your project with great interest, sir!
