[looking for an l28et]

Edit- Sorry, my mistake, I have a regular L28E. Oops. But if you want one of those DIRT cheap... send me a PM.

[Is it possible to make my 280zx an AWD car?]

They did rally Z cars you know, in 2wd...

It sounds like all you want to do is build a car to wail on in a field. If that's the case, you could put an LSD in it (or weld the diff) and be just fine.

 

We used to play with an '86 Cutlass in a friend's field, with a 305 4bbl and an open diff. It moved plenty fast for messing around in a field, trust me.

DAMN the white car looks good. Is that turbo stripe down near the rocker factory? I can't remember ever seeing one before (or maybe I didn't notice it, it's quite dramatic/good looking against the white).

[ok guys got a special little 280z]

Yeah, I dig the valve cover too. Who's signature is on the wheel? Doesn't look like Bob Sharp to me, but I can't read it either.

[1974 260Z track car. Ground Up.]

Haha, your starting point was way nicer than mine. Cool Z!

[Full on resto mod of a 240Z]

Awesome car, and I love the original green. Keep up the good work!

[$350 junkyard find]

Holy hell, that is awesome. I am completely jealous. More pictures/info!

Does seem like a pretty decent deal.

[Cross-country prep]

Soooo.... pics! Progress!

[Sign in if you own an s130!]

And it's a roadster now!

 

 

Yeah, this one won't be saved. I was a *tad* mislead about it's condition when I went to get it. Ugh. It shall die so that others may live, but I'm taking pretty much everything I can off of it just in case I, or someone else, may need it.

 

So if you need something... let me know. Got a complete good roof with T-tops that don't leak!

[Sign in if you own an s130!]

I should probably share just how totally awesome my rear engined 280ZX is.

 

[Sign in if you own an s130!]

I think I posted a couple of shots of this a year or two ago when I first bought her, but thought I would throw out a couple more now that she has been repainted.

 

 

 

Try to ignore the huge piles of dirt. Next week they should be shaped into the pad for my new garage.

 

 

Again with the dirt.

 

WOW that is gorgeous!

[Has anyone ever done a mod like this to an S30? ("B" pillar delete)]

Interesting idea. My 300 is a pillarless hardtop, the way Chrysler went about it was to have a stainless steel piece with some felt on it extend out from the edge of the window on both the door and quarter window and have them just overlap each other when the door was closed. The quarter window goes down diagonally instead of straight up and down as well. I don't think there's enough room in the Z quarter panel for that window to go down though- maybe it could slide backwards at an angle into the C-pillar?

[Cross-country prep]

Yeah, I had something similar at the DMV myself in Cali. They didn't want any information from me, just a few bucks and I had a temp plate. Weird.

[Project Datsun 810 has begun]

How's it coming along then? Any updates?

[Pictures of my S130]

Damn, that does look good.

[Just painted my car, thought I'd share (LOTS Of pictures)]

Very nice work. Love the paint color choice too, sets it off nicely.

[How to mount them there ZG Flares]

Damn, that Z is sexy. Nice write up!

[250 GTO Owners Thread]

I don't have any pictures, but someone local to me has built one with a Chrysler 340/4-speed in it. If it pops up again I'll take a picture for you guys.

[Cross-country prep]

I love the TA22! You still have it, I hope?

 

Nope. I had no option but to forfeit it to the impound lot and it was bought by someone else for $300 who parted it out.

 

 

I wish every single day that I had it. Or at least another 1st gen Celica.

 

I'm just saying- Be careful, and expect the unexpected. I hope you make your trip in one piece- and you probably will. This was the exception, not the rule, let it be a lesson though.

 

I'll get my Celica again someday, somehow.

[Help. 280z window graft to 280zx]

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I'd be curious to see what it'd look like as well.

[S130 vs S30 at high speeds 100mph+]

You could still ask the question "who the hell would wanna drive across Wyoming at 70mph???"

 

 

[S130 vs S30 at high speeds 100mph+]

its polyurethane i believe, i have had several times where i have hit things/bottomed out so im glad i got urethane instead of fiberglass

 

both have advantages, both depend on how you drive, where you drive, how much you drive

 

pis of a polyurethane airdam on a s30, gotta believe the s130 airdam is worse because its square shape

 

Damn, how fast were you going to make it bend back like that? Haha

[Phlebmaster's 240Z Evolution, 56k fah-getta-bout-it. ;-)]

I really dig that 620, hope the Z comes out just as nice!

[Cross-country prep]

Lots of great tips in this thread. I tried to make a similar run last August from LA to Detroit after having made Detroit to LA in an old Cherokee, as I bought a Celica in San Francisco. I made it to LA, drove around LA for a two days, and the day before I was leaving LA to head home, this happened...

 

 

Of course, it happened after I spent a considerable amount of time/money/effort making sure it was capable of the trip back to Detroit. $4000 down the toilet for 5 glorious days of the car I'd wanted for so long.

 

So be careful, I wish you much luck.
