new40z

Hey I got 2nd place this year in the 240z modified class! That plus $2.50 will get me a cup of coffee but I'm very happy none the less. Does anyone know who got first?

I'm going to try and make the CVZ meet next Satuday. Do you ever go to those? If not I'm out once a week or so, maybe today. But I need a new battery first. Get ahold of me and we can make arrangements to meet up.

I've swaped the suspension from a z32 so it's quite a bit wider, I flared the fenders as wide as I could in steel to try and cover the 350z wheels but w/o going to fiberglass I coulden't get them completely tucked in.

need some new pics,

I'm headed home to Bakersfield for X mas (currently delayed in the Denver airport) but hopefully I'll make it home tonight. Cant wait to see my cars, its been 3 months. I Should be home long enough this time to get started on my interior, I've purchased some carpet, some fake leather some glue and some sizzors ( How hard can it be --- right? ) so wish me luck. Merry Xmas Everybody! John P.

Hey Tyson ---no I havn't been to any CVZ meets lately. I spent most of the summer in PA and now I'm in Wyoming until the new year. I should be home for a bit at Xmas then hopefully I'll have some time off in Jan. so maybe a meet will be in order (keeping my finger crossed) sorry to hear your cars in jail-my sympathies- To answer your question, yes I did do all the work myself. with the exception of the final paint and color sand, I did do the sheet metal and bodywork but learned that the pros are much quicker at it.

New plates for my 71z32 swap---new40z---get it?

No on the door panels, the center vent will line up with a bit of modification. I used some duct tape to seal off the side vents where they exit the ac unit. John P.

:burnout:Hooray! I got my airline tix and I'm headed home! I'm finally going to get to see my cars again. --- After 4 months driving a Dodge truck I cant wait to get into a performance car. I'll be headed to the MSA West Coast Nationals show on Friday. This will be the first time my project new40z/z32 has been out in public. It's not really complete but I dont care, I've been away too long. I hope to see some of you there. I would imagine I'll be in the 240z modified section. Please say hello if your there. John P.

At some point soon I will post more pic's. I'm currently in Illinoise and haven't been home to see my car since X-mas:icon_frow--- the end of may is looking good for some r&r. I got a new camera recently so I'm sure I'll take a bunch of pictures to post. I'm glad you like it. John

That is awsome!---very impressive

Are there any updates to this project? Makes me wish I had crashed a TT instead of my N/A. I hope your moving forward--nice work. I would love to see it on the road. p.s. I used the z32 rack and power steering and it works great (lots of work) details availible if your interested. Here's my vg30de swap http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=129441

http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=129441 These pictures and this site are all I have to pass the day ----Help! Im stuck in an Iowa cornfield, looking at the snow. I may as well be at the N pole, there's not a sole around for miles -God I'm board, I miss California, I really miss my cars. Winter sucks !!! come-on spring

Big Dodge 4x4 2500 HD Turbo Diesel, Love the power and the whine of the turbo is great. Best part--The company pays the fuel bill and they send a new one every 15k miles. I thrash around in the snow or mud most of the day. When I'm home it's a 93 z32 convertible.
