I like the headlights!! Probably the nicest custom headlight look I have seen yet! Astrohog

No, NOT stalking.....Just pretty much lurking around here!!! When I originally bought my Z last year, I found Hybridz AND Classic Z cars... I joined both, but spent most of my time over at Classic Z's... BUT... Now that I am doing a turbo swap, I have been spending more time over here!!!! Either way, I feel very fortunate to have two EXCELLENT forums available to me!! As far as NissanPacific goes, I met Joe last year in the parking lot @ Hardware Sales and when I asked if there was any local Z guys getting together, he told me about NissanPacific. There ya have it!!!! It looks like the rain may hold off today, so I am gonna go get the Z and go for a drive (maybe I will finish getting the A/C OUT...Need to make room in there for TURBO electronics!!).

My $.02!! I like the fade!! I think if you make your bumpers the darker color (or leave them chrome) and start the fade BELOW that bumper line it would look better. Show us the finished product and have fun!!! Regards, Astrohog

My buddy just bought two parts cars sight unseen and I believe one of them has that hood. It will be for sale, so If you are interested, let me know so I can look at it to verify it is that one and we can talk. Regards, Astrohog

Good to hear!!! You've got a runner again!! I too just picked up an '81 turbo motor and plan on installing it in my '71. Just got the long block home yesterday, and no time to work on it yet, but looking forward to cleaning her up a bit and getting her ready to install! Sounds like we will be along the same time frame with our builds, so let's keep in touch this summer and help each other out! good luck, Astrohog

Check out this thead from ClassicZcars.http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23919 I was impressed with the finish being so close to original! Much better looking than the bedliner (although, I have to admit, the bedliner dash was a good idea and not as bad as I would have imagined!!) Regards, Astrohog

Hi all, I am new here (been over at classic Zcars for a while) I have an original, numbers matching '71 240 that I want to repower to l28. I will be pulling the l24 and pickling it for storage. I am looking for around 250 hp. As usual, I don't want to break the bank, so what is the best way to achieve 250 h.p.? N/A or turbo? Also, assuming I have a stock l28 at my disposal, what would you estimate the build cost to be? Any ideas and/or estimates from you experts would be appreciated!! Regards, Astrohog
