[My 76 280z 1jz build thread]

extremely bad ass. get some video of this thing in action!!

[My car is finally back on the road!]

excellent example of an S30.

 

I haven't posted on HybridZ in ages, but I had to let you know what an awesome job you've done.

 

It makes me proud that the logo I designed for HybridZ is worn on your car.

[Top Gear vid with Zcars]

these are UK model cars. the UK 260Z is differently equipped than a US market 260Z. and if im not mistaken, the UK never recieved the 280Z.

[A New-Old Tuner Style Wheel]

i bet the offset is crap...

[Front Suspension Swap question]

keep us posted, im very interested in seeing the final setup.

[New wheels]

best wheels ever to be fitted to a s130. the exhaust manifold is sexy too.

[now this is a nice z project...]

looking great man, im glad you're still working on this project. a few months ago i went over to classiczcars to see if you had any updates in your photo album and there werent any new pics so i thought maybe the project was defunkt. anyways good to see progress! keep it up

[This Airdam is awesome, how can i get it??]

that looks terrible. the lines dont flow at all...

[HAs Anyone thought about these T/Lights?]

i photoshopped the pic that 280zforce posted. It has stock zenki taillights. you can see more of the car here though...

[New Wheels on, had to cut fenders... ZG Flares??]

im pretty sure you could have gotten away with a roll and a bit of a pull.... i deinfetly would have changed tire sizes before i went as far as cutting my fenders. those wheels with zg's are going to be way sunken, if you do go that route at least get some spacers to try and push them out a bit... also, dont forget to weld the fender where you cut it.

[Talk about a WIDE body!]

ehhh. looks fat too me. too heavy looking.

[Diffusers and belly pans]

heres a photoshop that i did of the rear diffuser of a R34 GTR on my car if anyone is interested.

[Front Grill Replacement]

heres a grill i made for my 76 about almost 2 years ago, it's all stainless and aluminum, and still looks as good as the day i made it.

excuse the crappy pics:

before paint:

 

i was thinking about maybe making a few and selling them, if there is interest that is. it is for a 280z but will fit 240's too, the thing is it takes a little tinkering to get it to clear the hood when you open it because of the flush look, but it's not difficult to make work.

[Calling all SR20 Powered Zs!!!]

Hugh, great news with the S30 SR20 plans. I'm always on freshalloy and your silver 180 was awesome, I'm sure the 240z will be even better, are you planning on just using the 240sx as a daily driver and keeping it stock or are you planning to modify it also?

[Look What Mr. Postman Dropped Off!!]

Why no drive????

 

What latches/releases did you use when you shaved the handles?

 

i havent driven it because i moved to new york city, and the car is at my dad's place in south florida, the door handles were shaved in photoshop. haha

[Look What Mr. Postman Dropped Off!!]

1989 was the crossover year from z31 to z32, thats why i got mixed up... i wonder what it would take to get an R230 in an S30... yeahm the blue z is mine, i havent driven it in months, i miss it so much.

[Look What Mr. Postman Dropped Off!!]

nice find. i need to get a r230 on my car also...

 

This is actually a R200 LSD out of a 89 300ZXT

 

oh, i thought the Z32 used an r230... is your diff from a Z31 or Z32?

[Look What Mr. Postman Dropped Off!!]

nice find. i need to get a r230 on my car also...

[progress on the rb26Z]

i think thats taking weight reduction a little too far...

 

you going solid axle?

[pics of a similar swap to mine.]

looks clean, i LOVE the paint color. i think it's bayside blue TV2? some pics of the car when it's finished would be nice.

[280z with 350z headlights]

better watch otu what you photoshop... the owner of that pic might sue you... pfffft.

["RAD" HybridZ in Jakarta, Indonesia]

Ummmm I need a towel over here!! Awesome work, great ideas too. You would make a great concept artist....

 

thanks for the compliments, thats what i want to do after college, automotive design...

[Speaking of 18's....pic of 350z wheels on my z]

whats the width and offset on those?

["RAD" HybridZ in Jakarta, Indonesia]

i think the general idea of this car is in the right place, but it could definetly use a cleaning up. the wheels are hideous, like everyone else has said, and in my opinion there are just too many lines everywhere, so i did a photoshop of what i would have done with this car. opinions are welcome, let me know what you think. second one down is my rendition.

i got rid of the bulkyness in the front and rear bumpers, molded all the lines, cleaned up the side vent, replaced the tacked-on looking square sideskirt with a molded, more flowing shaped one, modified the spoiler a bit, shaved the door handles and gas door, as well as adding a Ferrari 250 GTO inspired vent for the rear fender, and changed the wheels to an 18in work equip 01, which are still big, but looks more fitting than 20inchers...
