  1. Shoot it first. I thought it was looking pretty promising until I shot one. Compared to the others that I shot, I just didn't like the way it felt. I think the one I shot was brand new, never fired which may have had something to do with it, but it wasn't very accurate, at least with me behind the trigger.

    I have. Shot a used one at the range and loved it. Shot real nice and It just felt good in my hand. Very solid feeling and definately not a poly gun. It's got heft.

  2. I just love the fact that the car was built in an apartment complex parking lot by an amatuer with hand tools! That's awesome! When I first saw these cars in a Z book 10years ago I had assumed that they were built by a professional shop. I would have never guessed in a million years that some guy just built it out of his apartment!

  3. Very nicely done. Those fender edge arches are suspiciously similar to the ‘87-‘89 Z-31 fender archs… :2thumbs:

     

    Hmm. I took these pics at the Dallas ZCON in 2006. The gold ZX is simply the most badass ZX I have ever seen. I saw it once before at the Long Beach ZCON in '04.

    It belongs to the Japanese Z Club Prez, Tetsu. The Japanese club had several cars shipped over for the convention. This car I believe used Z31 wheel arch flares. It had the entire rear sub frame from a Z32 grafted in, RB26DETT motor, Fiberglass doors, Skyline wheels, and so forth. Supposedly dynoed 700+ in Japan.

     

    BTW that's my red ZX in front of it. :-D

  4. 280ZX has timeless lines and just needs lowering with wide wheels to look great. Tacking on S30 flares just does not work, to do a sympathetic wide body job requires the guards to be boxed which of course involves metal surgery. Which is not cheap and which I am yet to see a good example of for the S130.

     

    And the fiberglass 'aero' kit stuff looks awful, sorry.

     

    What exactly do you mean by "guards?"
