    Front Airdam Colour; red or black???-PHOTOSHOP PICS

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted

    Before I dropped of the bits I took a photo just to get an idea of how low the airdamn would sit in real life. I bolted it on and went foir a drive to put some air in my tyres. The air damn just cleared the gutter when I parked so I'll have to be careful. I thought about adding rubber to it to extend it about another inch or so which would get it looking lower but it would'nt be an issue for clearance. What do you fellas think about adding a rubber lip to the extend the airdamn. I think if it was really neat it would just look like a continuation of the airdamn.

     

    Also, the rear fin has a flat section for a badge. I've seen people use this space for either a FAIRLADY badge or a BRE badge. Not sure what would look better. I like the FAIRLADY badge purely because it always throws people when they check the car out. A freinf of mine has got some steel FAIRLADY badges from Japan. Hmmm...I'll have to see if he can make some copies. It would be easy enough to make moulds for them but what material would you use to make the actual badges. There must be some sort of resin one could use!??????

    Richard,

    I don't think Fibreglassman on e-bay is the same person.

     

    Grymlynsan,

    that sure does look nice. I'm not a fan of those headlight covers either. Looking forward to seeing your car finished.

     

    ON3GO,

    Don't you have a green Z. I really like the look of the green and black. Is the blue one a second one in the garage or am I totally off!? How about some pics mate?

     

    Cheers

    Thanks guys black it is!

     

    Grymlynsan, I bought the air dam from a friend who makes them to order. He makes this front air damn as well as about three other popular types seen on the net. He also makes ZG flares, BRE rear fins, side skirts, fibre glass S30 dashes, inner door trims (covers) and the list goes on, however he is located in Melbourne Australia so it's probably not very convinient for most on this forum but I'll add a link to his contact details anyway!

    Oh by the way, Grymlynsan have you got a bigger pic of the car thats your avatar, looks pretty cool but too small to really check out!

    Help! What brake options are available for S30 Z cars?

I just did the S13/Z31 rear disc upgrade on my zed (finished it and was on the way to the track 2 minutes later). I made my own caliper brackets (large chunky fuckers by welding two bits of plate together). The guy who I brought the calipers/rotors off had it on his car with a modified R31 caliper bracket which worked. Might be worth having a squiz?

I now have access to a mill so after I've made up some nicer ones I'll give mine away if you wanted to have a look?

    Thanks Dave, that would be good. PM me when you've made the new ones.

    I talked to nissan parts here in Brisbane and I got them to look up which Australian delivered vehicles came with the maxima bracket. I quoted the part number (which I have thanks to Hybridz) and it comes stock on an r30 skyline.

     

    I have to go to the wreckers and pick one up. To my knowledge it will (without modification) support the use of an r30, r31 or 280zx rear disc and caliper setup.

     

    hope this helps,

    I was told this too so I checked out a junk yard with five R30 in it and three R31. All the brackets were welded on!? What was the part number you quoted?

    Thanks

    They show up on eBay all the time:

    This set is from a Hybrid Z member.

    Thanks, I've sent him a message to see if he ships to Australia. What are these brackets worth from Nissan, new in US?
