Hello everyone VicZcar the club for S30's in Victoria just got an update. http://www.viczcar.com there are still a few sections i'm working on but it's a big improvement over the last design. We have another upcomming event on the 11th of July check out the forums for more details. Hope to see you there :classic: .

I would have loved to hear this bad girl sing! -
Some day perhaps -
I would love to meet Mr Matsuo some day ! -
it truly is an awesome car and color! -
come to Australia Ben you will see a Skyline every 30 seconds -
same here! -
Agreed having done Physics at Uni I found metric units so much nicer and simpler to use. Main reason why I've never liked US measurements.

When they realised metric units were superior forms of measurement. Ahhh the French

Member "Ben" has done the 3.1ltr stroker Turbo motor. It's possible but I couldn't tell you what type of connecting rods you'll need or pistons for that matter. It will be expensive to build I'd say go with the turbo L28 how it is first. See how you like it and if you feel the need for 450-500HP then you will want the 3.1ltr. Then again I'm the type who likes a clean all around car ie: paint interior, motor etc..

Take the wife for a drive maybe she'll change her mind -
I gotta come to the next meeting hopefully Mr Matsuo and Mr K will be there. -
That rear bumper has come up a million dollars -
yes it's truely magnifiscent(Spelling?) -
I'm jealous, your smile says its all Ben, kinda like the time i got out of my friends 400HP Turbo 240z with a Gnose. It was awesome. -
Yes seeing a picture of a Gnose conversion does not do it justice you have to see it in person to really appreciate what it adds to the Z car. -
good shot you captured the mounting of the headlight covers. -
and why not it's good to be camera friendly as oppose to camera shy. -
I'm glad you thought of me now I feel special . http://www.viczcar.com/newDesign/Index.htm guess what car is in the title picture? hehe shhhh it's a secret -
Send it to Dashboard restorations they are good at what they do. If you would like to see what they did check out www.240z.id.au his was done by them and mine also check my gallery. Why make the whole replacement part when all you need to do is fix the vinyl? If your serious about your Z then it's gonna cost alot more to restore than the initial amount you spent on it. So I wouldn't be worried about the cost of parts. :classic:

Yeah wish i had a set -
Just playing with a wheel combination. -
I think it's a hard one because I see both sides of the coin. On 1 hand why bother recreating the box when someone has gone to the effort to do it themselves. On the other hand if not about money then maybe its about the DIY factor sometimes we derive satisfaction from creating something like this. I know MSA was selling a speaker box for Z's and was asking $300US that was just too much money for me. I can admit there box is probably a better job than mine but at the same time mine cost me $40 in products to build. Not to mention i found out later that a friend of mine imported one and he paid close to $1000 AUD after shipping and import tax :mad: . In the case of a Glove box I think ABAS did a good thing and perhaps he could provide Mr C with the same diagram that he gave MikeW if MikeW has the time to build these and do them how he see's as a proper job then by all means good luck to him and if not for the fact that my Glovebox was in perfect order I would be buying off him myself just to save the time involved. Anyway not sure if i made a point or just added 2c of nothing to the convo. :cheeky:

Is that really him or a wax figure?
