C110/240K coupe over fenders
I got the dash panel from Japan, of course! The silver paint would work well! From pictures it seems like a common mod also in Japan - I'd do it too but I'm too much of a perfectionist. :stupid:

Parts Swapping 240K Sedan to Coupe
There is an anomoly... both pairs of GT-R lights I have are the same, and from various pictures they seem to be correct in operation... HOWEVER! the outer light bulbs are a dual filament bulb also (and socket). But the second filament doesn't get used. Whatever the case, this means that with a bit of altered wiring you should be able to get the outer lights to intensify when braking also, without changing the sockets. I think...

Why waste $ on turbo when...?
We're generalising a lot... but for what its worth, would you rather all ricers today to drive the cars you guys drove?

Why waste $ on turbo when...?
There's an interesting angle... food for thought - people go on and on about these 'damn ricers' but 30 years ago was it any better? What with the "horsepower wars" kids had access to all kinds of dangerous machines (true/false?). Moreso than a civic with a fart can, thats for sure. How many of you drove cars from the 1940's back then??? I'm just speculating, how many of you drove the "in" kind of car when you were kids... (this is not starting an argument! I am just curious)

1:18 KYOSHO KPGC110??? Excuuuuuuuuse me? Is this a new model release or what? While we're talking about fancy bits we're getting, my interior dash panel (brushed steel?) should be arriving soon! The centre console will still be fake woodgrain, but that's ok for now. Also finally found a GT-R badge for the front grille. James is right about modifying a 240K grille - it isn't too different from the GT-R grille, except it weighs a tonne!

On Parkers, and headlights, you'll have 4 red circles light up at the back with the GT-R lights. When you brake, the inner lights become more intense.

What defines a 240Z a classic?
I think it is hard to boil it down to one specific element that makes you love your Z, because I know at least for me it wasn't just one thing that made me love it, it was the entire package. That said, I always loved feeling her fenders just after a good polish... (I always referred to my Z as a "he" but in that case I'd prefer not to!!! )

Which one you like better?
I don't really like the blacked out stainless steel all around the windows... WOLF, I think from the answers you can tell everyone has quite different tastes. In the end it's your own car and you should be building it to YOUR tastes, not anybody elses... Working out what those tastes are isn't easy, though...

240K Rear Bumper
Thanks, that looks right then! Cool thanks

240K Rear Bumper
A reasonably simple question for those who know! Is the rear bumper from a 240K Sedan the same as the one on the Hardtop? As in, are they interchangeable?

Do Headlight Covers get Fogged Up?
The shape of the headlight covers does affect the headlight projection, even without the fogging up. But it is pretty minor, and I guess you could just take off the covers at night if you were travelling a long distance. About the fogging - you COULD try some of that anti-fog interior glass Rain-X - although I'm not sure if it is OK with plastic. It might completely ruin your covers... so READ THE LABEL!

C110/240K coupe over fenders
Hi guys, Looks like we should have a decently cheap, LOCAL supplier of flares here! This is great... yes I do have a pair of mirrors (not real GT-R ones but they're pretty good replicas)... although I'm not too keen on shipping them to Melbourne and having them dissected to make a mould from :ermm: Attachment:>>>
