i seen that car too, offered trade for my 99 blazer but he didn't accept . I seen some posts on here or hybrid from that car with issues with the carbs, But doesn't seem too bad. Car looks decent from the pictures. THough I am not a fan of why the engine bay is black and not matching body color. If you feel the car isn't worh the price, than keep looking.

it looks horrible! typical redneck Z . Those mods could have been a decent camaro

its a backyard paint job, some orange peel and a run here and there.. but should be able to take em out with color sand. the beauty of this paint is its cheap, can always refinish again in the future by ordering some more.

well mother nature decided to play a terrible joke on me.. it was all good this morning not a cloud in the sky =(

heres my semi update for you.... i went with their non-sanding acrylic enamel primer and shot it on my car (excuse the pic, i was wet sanding the primer here and couldnt help but take a picture in the middle of it * First time I shoot a spray gun, so I really cant give you any comparisons on their primer or paint, but I will keep you updated on my progress using their products. of course i cleaned and prepped everything best I could, given the risky environment im in, its not gonna be super show car, but will be great street car, and 5million times better then what the car was before *prior owner sanded down the upper portion to bare metal and clear coated it for a 2 tone look, i dunno why he did that, more bitch work to prep* Tomorrow I will be shooting the paint. Any imperfections should be minimal/ ease to remove with future color sanding down the line.

update: ill keep you updated i may spray the car this weekend.. Arctic White acrylic enamel.

i got some but yet to use it.. going on my 91 rx7 daily driver tuner car.. not really a show car. Got the cheap single stage white they offer because a friend of mine who sprayed a few cars with it said its good. Take into fact we are not going for show car or show room quality or restoring 30+ year old Zs, so it might not be for everyone. Ive yet to see this stuff in person as I havent seen my friend in a while.

partial sponsorship from nsptuner.com. Fitment was good and it was painted at the maaco in moreno valley..

I had my paintjob done at maaco *white 240sx on the right of hte pic* at maaco. They had alot of custom cars being worked on when i went there. I just needed a cheap paint job to get the job done. Cost me over $980 becuase I had them paint seperate parts like body kit, and minor fiberglass work done to my rear spoiler. THe paint job came out pretty good. Nicely laid down paint. THe sucky part is it wasnt sanded down previously before the paint and I shoulda put more prep work into it, otherwise it woulda been a hella good paint job. *240z on the left is a friends car*

my friend has a set of tokicos for the 280z that we just removed since he threw the car away if your interested I can have him take pics... they look brand new.

hehe.. well .. was a Z http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-HAND-ASSEMBLED-DATSUN-AUTOMOBILE_W0QQitemZ4618662945QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

my japanese friend who has a 240z, said this movie is really bad (not good) and the story line sucks...

this has been beatin to death.. seach! but anyways, here you go. =D http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/240bump.htm

i dont think paint will stick well to springs, it would chip off.

your local auto parts store may carry APC, I know Kragens carries them, and APC does have a headlight wiring upgrade kit. If there is a Kragens by you, they can get it for sure.

it woudl be cool to sell it to a aftermarket body kit manufacture like carboncreations.com, raceonusa.com, importfan.com or the likes so they could replicate it in cf or fiberglass... usually in return, they will give you a copy of it. so cf would be sweet. otherwise if i had a s30 and cash, id buy it for myself =D

id think what would be cool too would be to just shave the rear one, since the japanese cars didnt have them.

If your hitting curbs, u got serious problems... http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/dai/s01.jpg http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/dai/s02.jpg Wow look at those tires!!! seriously retarded and will not handle high speed cornering.. seriously tho, its a nice car.. alot different from teh usual knock off cheapo Konig rims or v8 swapped or ferrari wannabe Zs in the US.

not somewhat off topic, but here is the link to Yahoo auctions japan used car catagory, a bunch of beautiful zs here http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084022959-category-leaf.html?f=&alocale=0jp&mode=1

does the spook have more advantage over say, a full on front spoiler?

I thnk this is a nice color, and would match a moderate Z pretty nice...

sorry i didnt mean for this to be a debate about tires or taste.. Yah just my opinion on one of the cleanest s30z. Mods please lock this thread if wanted.

i thought it would be cool to post this since it is more "japanese tune influenced" as far as exterior.. its not another chitty titty looking US 240z.. there are tons of redneck tuned US styled Zs on here *ahem v8 swapped, viper wannabe/ferrari wannabe, 17x7 crap offset honda civic sized rims, zx style body kitted* cars.. which loose thier esence as a japanese sports car. The dents on the hood can show that this car gets driven, not like the lil baby garage car some of you guys may have. And stretched tires have been a part of racing history which have thier benefits for wheel/fender fitment as well as stiffer sidewall. http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm

If this is your ride, me like! saw it on another forum picture thread. every other z is ghey

clean... the only thing that bothers me is the tires look too modern as well as the mirrors .. but its all good.
