Hi Andy, Do you mean the red one with the fully polished wheels? If you look more closely, you can see that it is in fact an LHD car, and therefore most certainly not an original Factory ZG. The lower front panel is an aftermarket part too. There are a variety of lower front panels / spoilers still being produced which fit the G-Nose upper panels and headlamp pods. Maybe the USA would be a more likely source of extended wheel arch mouldings that can be blended into the body? I thought you wanted to stick with original Factory bodylines and get your wheels into the stock openings, but if you are prepared to go wider then things get more complicated. You will need to make sure that all your choices ( wheel arch panels, wheel and tyre sizes / offsets and suspension ride height / springing / damping ) all match up to give you what you want both in terms of performance and visual appeal. I have some info for you, and I'll e-mail you directly ( but I think you are still fairly unsure of exactly what you want, and these pics might not be helping :classic: ). Cheers, Alan T.

Hi Lachlan, Yes, a lot of cars this time featured the 'ZG look' - and not many of them were original Factory ZG models. Most of them were easy to identify, but there were a couple that were more difficult to pin down. I think the Sagamiko event tends to attract a lot of the more modified cars in the two clubs, and this can distort the view of what is popular in Japan. There are other events that seem to attract a lower proportion of the modified crowd. For sure there were a lot of long noses there ( not just mine ). KGC110 modified to 'GT-R look'. Same car was there last year too. SUPER clean car inside and out. I have some more pics to post of this one. A most welcome 'stray' at the event. Nice friendly owner too.

Hello all, I have just returned from Japan, and whilst there I was able to attend this year's joint meeting of 'CLUB S30' and 'S30 OWNERS CLUB' held at Sagamiko Picnic Land in Kanagawa prefecture on Sunday 7th November. Once again the event was blessed with perfect Autumn weather; clear skies and the low November sun playing tricks on golden leaves and car paintwork alike in this attractive Japanese day-tripper's location. The turnout was not as prolific as the 2003 event ( which was itself rather exceptional ) but it was still a nice informal and club-based meeting with a relaxed atmosphere, and a rare chance to see some nice Japanese cars in their home environment. A particularly high proportion of 432s and ZGs were evident, as well as a number of replica ZGs and otherwise-modified cars. A new section in the '2004 Events' has been created for these photos, and I will add a few more every now and then when I edit and downsize them. I hope that everyone will enjoy them.
