Looking at a car with some front end damage: lhs headlight cracked and guard damaged, bumper cracked, bonnet slightly bent, rhs front guard slightly misalligned (noticable only when someone tells you where to look). Cant really see the rails under next to the engine - too much stuff on top, car appears straight form fornt and back, pillars and rood ok. So was wondering if its possible to check if the chassis was bent? Was thinking of trying driving a car and just looking at how it behaves but I assume that the wheels were not alligned after crash so it will be hard to tell what behaviour is due to chassis damage and which is due to un-alligned wheels... any suggestions? PS the car is not a 240Z but actually nissan silvia s13. Thank you in advance.

Just getany any color mesh rims and powdercoat them black or spray them yourself if you are on a tight budget. It is really easy to spray them and I did that to the ones on my car and they turned out to be great.

Show us more pics of the 280zx!

I am talking about the cartridge inserts. As far as I know the rear struts diameter has been changed for the 260z compared to 240z, but could someone advise me the part numbers? Also does anyone know if the front ones changed? And yes I am in Australia.

Are the shocks interchangable between the 240Z and 260Z? Could someone give me part numbers for them? Thank you in advance.

As far as I know the P90 never was available in Australia - you are welcome to correct me here. Oh, ok. Thanks for the info I didnt know that - this makes the choice much simpler

Well I have narrowed down my possible choices of the head to this three for various reasons. Could anyone give me a clear answer as to which one flows best stock and which one is easy to improve (= minimum financial investments:) )? My engine is to stay NA and FI. I am aiming to have compression of low/mid 10s (btw can I use 100 octane fuel - the highest octane fuel available from pumps here in Australia as far as I know?). Also I am using an L28 block with flat top pistons and read somewhere that an E series heads will give me the required compression without any modifications - can anyone confirm this?

So how many different looking ones are out there? PS Since the original question has been answere i though I will change the topic slightly

The silver car must be one of the nicest non-flared Zs I have ever seen!

Have there been any updates of the "Lengine" program? I have only seen v0.1 are there any later versions? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this topic.

So what do people think of the E30 head? I also read somewhere that since it has smaller chambers it will give me a higher compression, is it true?
