A bright orange that I picked out of the Spies Hecker book. It was that long ago that I've forgotten exactly what (I think it was from an European truck manufacturer). I wanted something brighter than the original orange, not too brown, not too red.

The only mod was a bigger compressor cover (RB30 T3). I checked the balance & it wasn't worth messing about (about 2-grams across all 4 piston/rod assemblies). It's still effectively still stock except a 3" system from the turbo. It might even get an intercooler one day!

I don't know if they're still available, you can try!

The only parts that attract freight are parts for cars not originally sold here - ie imports.

Lachlan the $650 was from the Nissan dealership. It's a 'regular' part (ie not special order) so there were no freight costs. The vented hoods were fitted in around 1976 as part of the ongoing solution to the vapourlock problems that the carburreted cars had. Remember that in Australia we go the 260Z with flat-top carbs until ~1978.

It is, barely a mark on it (inside & out). There were no identifying marks on the car when I bought it, these days they are very thoroughly cleaned out before being allowed into Australia.

Cheers,

Lachlan - I tried uploading some shots of the 30 immediately afterwards but had no luck. Will try again today!

That's an L series turbo. And a pretty serious looking one too!

Now doesn't that look the part. It could be the slowest car on the track, but it would intimidate you into submission!

The spinner is on the wrong side!

I can't actually remember.... It was just a colour that was picked from the Spies Hecker books. I think it was from a European truck manufacturer. It's much brighter than the original orange (which looked brownish). I should post some more recent photos too.

What can I say except for - 'Eat my Shorts, Henry Ford'!

Dashboard is stock, except for EGT & boost guages fitted to radio panel. And Oil press/temp fitted where the clock & fuel/ammeter used to go.

Well, it's street-legal & registered now.

I'm taking a bunch of shots for the zparts.com website soon & I'll post them here too.

Wow!

It's an RB25DET.

Love the tilt-front

Indeed I am. And there is hopefully enough room for the twins to be fitted at a later stage....

If it does, it's probably not measureable. That's the job of the vents.

But a flat/semi-flat black bonnet does reduce glare!

Fair cop, only got to 20mph....

But I believe it will!

That was the plan

I've also got 'Fairlady Z' badges on the car.

It's actually not that bad. I'll take some more photos when it's a little tidier. Yes, theres a bunch more hoses on the drivers side, but not _that_ many!

The turbo coolant & oil lines make things look worse and there's the oil cooler plumbing, along with the thermofan wiring.

he would say that - since he welded it!

A brief update - it's sold! He's bought a 3000GT (he always was a Misubishi fan). Aside from that, it dynoed at 270kW at the wheels.

Still pulling some G's though!
