Z Speed Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Here's some older pics of my ZX: Might get around to taking some new ones tomorrow... I want your wire wheels.... :) I have a set on my Z, but they are pitting etc. Over 30 years of use will do that over time.... Are they Appliance wheels?... Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Are they Appliance wheels?... Thanks! Actually, they're TrueSpoke ($1500 when bought new) Came with her. Now I have some XXR's on her, and the wires are sitting at my folk's house in Port Orchard. I think my dad put them outside, though, so I'm not sure of the condition. I do know they have a little bit of curb rash on at least two of them from when I bought her. I'll see if I can get some pics of them here sooner or later. Might be in better condition than yours. Quote Link to comment

Especially the intercooler plumbing, looks clean. I'm in the process of turbo swapping as well. Why go Kouki? The 86 Zenki is the best of both worlds, IMO. Fender flares and sweet sweet 80's style. I wish my 87 was an 86! Quote Link to comment
sonethirty Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Not sure if I put these up here or not...but yeah. 280zx Turbo 1 Quote Link to comment

I actually really don't like the Zenki front ends unless it's done just right. I love the old rears with the new fronts. Sexy! The car came with a hood and headlight buckets. I just need to source a nice bumper then do it and paint it. Quote Link to comment
arck001 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 JZ33 That's pretty rad! ^^^^ From a local car meet. 4 Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I seriously cream my pants every time I see that car ^ Quote Link to comment
sonethirty Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Like it, but it would be tits if you got flares or fixed the panels. Quote Link to comment
Unfriendly Garage Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 ^ state the obvious. Hah He knows his fenders and quarters don't look perfect , but the way arck001 pulls it off, you see the pics and say "that looks pretty bad ass" haha Not like a resto z bad ass, just looks rough and low. :-D Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Is it obvious? Leaving a s30 looking like shit and slamming it is the flavor of the month. Easy, lazy kiddy stuff imho I always think there is a need for that to be voiced lol. NOT referring to THAT z because I have no idea the plans or w/e. Regardless anyway to each their own. For convos sake the 1st thing I see looking at that z isnt the great stance it has though its the fucked up body. Which is a shame because it an awesomely aggressive set up going.

Busta Nut Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 It's the style of the shot that makes it look great......if it was a normal point and shoot shot it probably wouldn't look as great. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Def a good shot Quote Link to comment

Yeah you have a point but that's definitely not what I'm going for. I bought this crashed, rusted out, body filled hunk of junk shell to build and to learn everything about these cars. The fenders were already "pulled" by the p/o. Half the passenger firewall is body filled/fiberglassed as well as the passanger floor. There seems to be about a 1/4" thick layer of filler all around the body. The body wiring was a disaster waiting to happen. I don't know what the p/o was thinking. Everything else I've done to the car is proper. I just didn't want to fix a body I was going to eventually throw out. I'm currently looking for a clean shell I can swap everything i have and start fresh. It'll definitely look a million times better. 1 Quote Link to comment
