For a daily driver i'd go for the Silvia. Even if it is an overplayed drift boy special. This coming from a Z owner. But let the Z's go to an enthusiast.

I don't know if my dad would let me sell those. They've been in the family since the beginning. My uncle even went on to design the 370z because of the silver one he drove for awhile. LOL too much sentimental value.
I'm also kind of tired of driving a cliche car you don't really need to constantly putting in effort to maintain... Believe me. I've been driving an RSX. AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY CAR FOR KEEPING ME ALIVE THROUGH DRIVING IN THE ROCKIES THROUGH WINTER FROM WINNIPEG.
But I fully understand where you're coming from. My mom knows my dad had to constantly put in work on his datsun since highschool. But they both say it's worth the effort

I'd advise you take a look at my build thread to see what's behind the skin of these things, they rot from the inside out, if the rocker panel is rusty from the outside, it'll be worse inside.
Body parts are hard to come by, unless you're happy with an "okay" used replacement that'll need work. Mechanical parts are plentiful, there is a growing market for interior parts.

YES. That's what I was hoping to find. I'm not so good at navigating through this site yet so I couldn't find where people post their project builds. Thanks! I'll check it out

I like the Datsun, but I'd rather pump that money into a Silvia and get more out of it performance wise. Hell, you could probably buy at least two good Silvias for the price of one restored 280 (if you imported it yourself). Or get a handful of front clips in your shipping container which will be handy down the road.
