It's ok, it's only a 280ZX. It's the same one as pictured earlier, isn't it? -
Alan's quick! In Australia we didn't get the GT-R, but we did get the tamer models (from 1964-69). Later replaced by the Gemini - I know which one I prefer! -
Absolutely stunning - those are the wheels I'd choose if I owned one. -
Interestingly, the sedan and hardtop have the same wheelbase - only the sedan is 10kg lighter! -
Not bad at all mate. , that Supercheap garage is looking worse in every pic you post... (must be HELL with those trees) -
I would like to see a closeup of where the rear doors meet the flares.. could be tricky business there. -
Geez, "intense" is an understatement. Check out that huge intercooler. I know who I've got my money on... -
Turbo or not, looks pretty damn cool! -
It started off with the Countach and as I recall the reason behind the scissor doors was to do with the WIDTH of the car too. But yes, there's an engineering reason behind it (like the handbrake :tapemouth).
-
Awesome news Kent, keep us up with the progress..!
-
It's amazing how simple these cars really are isnt it? -
OK, apparently "butterfly" is the name given to the dual hinged doors such as on a McLaren F1. Gullwing is like a Delorean, and scissor like a Lamborghini... so I guess the closest thing is the scissor door... but I still think it looks a bit daft leaning outwards like that... What you REALLY want is dihedral synchro-helix doors
-
TVR really pioneered this paint as far as I know, and they now offer three kinds - chameleon (2 colours), reflex (3 colours) and cascade (5 colours). That's from what I remember, it is probably wrong. Anyway, I think it looks a bit poofy (and definitely ricey) to be honest.
-
Thing is, they're not even "lambo doors". Lamborghinis have scissor doors, not these (which are called "butterfly doors" or something). Personally, I think they look stupid! Even more stupid if they cost 2 grand to fit!! Lame-o doors are a better name

Blue 'n' Black. I like it - very original colour scheme.

good one ben, I like the Crown Vic one the best I think Z Forum: "Will fenders from a 260Z/280Z fit a 240Z?" That must be the most asked question here.....! or maybe..... "I have a 100% RUST FREE Z for sale..... just a bit in the boot...and the fenders.... and bubbles I think in the dogleg.."
-
Actually I thought a lot wanted the "Aero" roof, because then more people can see them. Isn't that the whole idea of a Supra?
-
Ben - how can you tell? -
Ahh so there IS such thing as a plastic polish - what brand was this do you remember?
-
No, it could be real - I can't tell from here. I should have said "stock" rather than "real" I think -
Where is it? -
Look at the flares. Interesting... I guess they liked the no black front flare like the real GT-R, but needed extra width for big rims.
-
A nice touch - it will look a lot cleaner now. I like -
Probably just a L16 from a later model 1600... There's an old Bluebird in Brisbane for $250 too Rob - did you see that? Or is it sold already... ad said "thousands spent"

My advice: Sell your Z, and buy a pre-molested one. NO MORE Z's need to have the Hannibal treatment.
