  1. How much of the in depth reverse engineering do you and MonZster plan on publishing online? I ask because I am concerned that very detailed measurements and or very detailed pictures of the internals could work to devalue the few HKS plenums here in the US. I'm all for scientific research as long as it does not devalue the pieces a few of us had to search out for years to get a hold of. After all I'm sure it would not be appreciated by other plenum owners if I started making castings of my plenum and dropping them for sale on Ebay. Not that there is any intention of that in your research, But if enough detailed information is published (such as scale pictures/measurements of the internal plenum) there are those outside of HybridZ that would not hesitate to profit from a knock off of it.
  2. That front piece is the stock bumper with a lower air dam, similar can be had from motorsport auto. The grill area was custom molded/shaped, several members here have closed the front of their S130's off in the same way. The rear ZG's are the wider variety that 280Zforce may be making a run of from his originals. The rest is off the shelf, nothing special about those vents either... Looks tough!
  3. Japanese tuners are already hard at work and they have a one year head start. The car that "Best Motoring" performed their test with is owned by "Mines". By the time the GTR drops here there will be an aftermarket! Even if that means importing from Japan for very high $$$. Thats never detered enthusiasts here in California; don't know how VA. works?
  4. Hey you guys remember that dumb kid in 2nd grade art and craft class that could not manage to color between the lines...We just found him!
  5. ^ Rider!!! My DD is split between a 96 GTi vr6 and a 91 celica convertible. The GTi is the best wet weather car I have ever driven. The extra weight in the nose really cuts down on the hydroplane I've experienced in other ff cars.
  6. FG front fenders would be a great option for those of us that have rust issues.
  7. RBmotoring.com has a huge selection of used JDM wheels for very reasonable prices. Got my 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 done for $650. No Tax.
  8. Add me to that list. That is BS no 114.3, that just cancelled out majority of old school J rides
  9. Those would look clean as long as you keep the sidewalls 30 or 35 series. You know, tire to wheel ratio. Also why not 235 or 245 front with another pair of ZG's just to complete the look? Would not be much more in terms of cost.
  10. Actually S30's were sold in 69, but yeah I see your point about the ad.
  11. ^ I don't think you overpaid. No major rust or body damage from what I see in the pics except for a very repairable dent in the nose. You got Glass, bumpers, grill, seats, turn signals, gauges, choke handel, rear window louvers and steering wheel. I'm also assuming the engine is present by the way it sits. The 80's and 90's have past and unless a close friend or family member is selling the car you won't find many give aways in California anymore, definitely not quality ones. $1700 was a good deal.
  12. Run some spacers or adapters and your answer is yes. Extensive reading in the wheels forum before you purchase will help you make a more informed decision about the whole fitting process. Happy reading!
  13. If it has a widebody, a wolf painted on the side with some lightning and four exhaust pipes YES!
