wheelman Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 It's been a while since I posted and I've done quite a bit of work on the Z, figured I'd post a picture of the new paint scheme. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment

wheelman Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hmm... I like it. Looks like you could drop it another inch though ;) If I did that it would almost be riding on the bump stops. I need to section the strut tubes to get more suspension range. When I installed the ZG flares I cut the wheel openings a little to high so now theres a lot of clearance between the tires and the flares. I suppose some day I might lower the flares so they look better. Quote Link to comment

cipbatgir Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thanks so much for sharing the post. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm not a massive z follower (might be due to most owners in oz being grumpy old farts), but once i see one lowered with ZG flares I'm always interested! Reminds of this one being built in NZ Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Inform the guy in NZ his fronts are on backwards lol. Quote Link to comment
MAG58 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I've seen that car. There is a substantial amount of work being done to it, including putting an R32 GTR rear subframe and widing the entire track out to 1250(?) mm. I feel with that much fab skill he probably had a decent reason for putting the flares on backwards Or not. who knows. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 So people with fab skills don't make mistakes eh lol I see. Maybe he likes them backwards, some people seem to. They act like little sails that way though, seems counter productive to all that works you says he's putting in. Know what power plant is going in there? NZ has some nice options.

MAG58 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 IIRC it's a whole bunch of RB, but nothing massive. He wants good power with a decent powerband for road racing more than lots and lots of top end. And I agree they do look backwards, I feel they'd hit when he attempted to steer...

Pedro Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think he wanted the flares to line up with his ZG front end. And you are right about the fab work, pretty cool stuff. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 So ZG flares have to be backwards in order to line up with a ZG front end lol, I like that one. Maybe its a hemisphere thing like the way water drains clockwise vs counter clockwise. Quote Link to comment
wheelman Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 That OZ car looks interesting, although I'm not a big fan of the ZG nose. Quote Link to comment
