240Z CAD drawing

[26th-Z]

I made a CAD drawing of a Z (2d plan view) for you CAD drafters out there. It was drawn in a late version of the popular Auto Cad - .dwg format and I'll e-mail it to you. I know I can save it back to v14 and I might be able to save it back to v12. Let me know what you require. I design custom homes and I frequently design custom garages. I like to fill the garages with cars on my presentation drawings. This drawing is to scale, ready to drop in your plans.

I was going to post it on E-bay as one-of-a-kind, RARE, hand constructed import from Electronapan with a low starting reserve of $240 but I didn't think anyone would get the sarcasm.

The attached is a jpg export. Try it and let me know what you think!

That's pretty accurate... I'm sure some sucker would buy it on ebay

Word of advice, don't post your email in a public forum. Website scanners will pick it up and you'll get put on a spam list.

wow.. never knew that... thanks alot

anyway.. just PM me.. and i'll send ya my e-mail, if you don't mind

Yep webbots scan the internet for email addresses and add them to spam lists. a way to get around it is not using @ symbols and ., but more sophisticated bots could scan for at and dot as well.

eg [email protected] will get spammed

email at whereever dot com might get spammed

[Victor Laury]

How about [email protected]?

Does that work or are the bots too smart to fall for that.

BTW I'd love a copy of the *.DWG. I use ACAD2000, and dream of being able to 3D model, but I'm still just a hack struggling in a 2D world. But imagine, a virtual Z car....

[Mike]

Yea, I'd love to get a 3D wireframe of an early Z. About the email, the REMOVEME stuff works better than just a plain email. It also prevents stupid questions from the people who can't figure out how to use email. Did I just say that out loud?

I've been working on a 3D 240z.

It's what I created the anamated gif with, that is my avatar.

Nice!! I was wondering how you did that. What are you using to create it?

[Mr Camouflage]

Lightwave. It's like 3D studiomax, but used for Movies and TV stuff, as well as advertising.

Hey, can you send me the .DWG file? I'd like to play with it... -- Mike

Anybody made any progress on this?

I'm looking for (and I'll probably have to make it) a similar drawing of the Z31 and Z32. I could use an S130 too. But I don't have accurate dimensions. The FSMs have dimensioned drawings like my early manual? Can someone scan one for me and I'll make up a CAD file.

Chris,

On Monday I'll see if I cant capture the relevant pages from my pdf verions and send them your way via email.

Thanks Will. It's looking like I am in charge of the car show for the 2007 convention and I am going to be doing some planning. Hopeless architects - you gotta have the right car in the picture - you know?

CW-

Is there anyway I could get a cad file of that as well? I am pursuing my BS in Arch right now and would love to throw an accurate rep of the Z in my presentations.

[Virto]

I'd love to have a high res export of that...it would make an awesome wallpaper.

Been a long time since I've done any CAD...my architecture studies were years ago.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone out there have this .DWG file that they could send me?

[26th-Z]

DWG files added. I don't think we used to be able to upload dwg files. Hope this works.

Datsun 240Z.dwg

Nissan_350Z.dwg

['73 240Z]

DWG files added.

Thanks!

I was actually planning on uploading them and posting a link here for anyone who wanted them in the future, but looks like that won't be necessary.
