cd1105 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 the z they put it on I have a magazine with that car in it and it looks great! i wonder if they can be fitted to a 260z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCaLeBx Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well I plan on fitting them on a '83 280zx 2=2 turbo so we'll see how that goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Jeepers, a bit extreme....think I would like them more if they sat up higher on the rear quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun280zx Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Post pick when you get them on. I plan on flaring my s130 but don't know what flares to go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 ....theyre the JDM universal "huge fender flares" from zccjdm.com the z they put it on Those "universal" overfenders have absolutely nothing to do with the overfenders fitted to the black car in your picture. The overfenders on the black car are derived from original Nissan 'Sports Option' parts ( similar to those used on the works Group 4 & Group 5 '240ZR' circuit race cars in Japan during the 1972~3 seasons ) and were designed and made specifically for the S30-series Z body. Two completely different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Gotta agree with HS30-H here about those flares being different from each other. The flares on the black car are "original" Arita Speed flares. You can visit their website for more info about them if you can read japanese.

Montezuma Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I too agree with Alan. I have 2 sets of the works overfenders and they are totally different. They also are designed for the S30. The great part is that you can put 10s on the front and up 14s on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCaLeBx Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 well on zccjdm.com thats the pic along with a pic of a 240sx '95-'99 and they say that is them so my bad I was just taking the website at its word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I didn't mean to offend you or anything. If I did, I'm truly sorry. Just trying to prevent wrong info getting out. Some people might end up getting those flares just because they think it is the exact one shown and end up mad when they go to install it and find it slightly different. ZCCJDM has some great products and he's also a member here as well. He got a HKS surge tank that I want really bad and a ZG front available for those who are looking for one. I'm sure he has almost everything it takes or will have to make that exact kit one day. Once again, I'm sorry if I offended you. Just a couple of more pics about that Black Z And for reference to Montezuma's post (These are similar Works Flares) NOT Works Flares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 well on zccjdm.com thats the pic along with a pic of a 240sx '95-'99 and they say that is them so my bad I was just taking the website at its word. The zccjdm.com site is incorrect. Shirley anybody can see that front and rear are not the same, and that the overfenders on the 240SX and the Z pictured are not the same either. Common sense has to be called into play at some point....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Just trying to prevent wrong info getting out Good intentions, but I fear we might be too late. Photos of that black car are all over the internet, and 99.99% of people who post photos of it seem to have no idea of where and what that 'look' originated from. People seem to be able to right-click-and-save photos to their hard drives, but don't read and remember the stories behind them. It's the modern malaise. Speaking of which: And for reference to Montezuma's post (These are similar Works Flares) NOT Works Flares The overfenders on the Spirit Garage car are 100% custom made, and are completely different in shape and style to any Nissan 'works' race car parts or Nissan 'Sports Option' parts, which are what the overfenders ( and the G-Nose / works Type B front spoiler ) on the black car originated from - even if they are several generations down the line. By the way, do you recognise the name on those photos? Alan T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCaLeBx Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 @midnight: nope not offended sorry to come out that way I was just saying I thought the site was right >.< @HS: harsh much ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The name sounds familiar but I can't recall exactly who he is off the top of my head...I do know I'm very jealous that he was able to stand this close to the car and take those great photos of it. Just once in my life time I want to be as close as he was....hell, let me just sit in the car so I can check off my "Things Accomplished" in this life list .
