garvice Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 This isn't about you Nunavut. Im sorry guys, but I just don't understand this [/img] How can people buy a truck (you can't class that as a suv) like that. He must have the smallest d#$% ever. I just don't get it.

Challenger Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well I got in my 2+2 1/4 window weatherstripping so Ive got almost all the weatherstripping, theres still a couple small pieces I need. Cars getting sunroof hole recut for new sunroof tonight if not tonight tomorrow and then Itll be towed away to the body shop on monday. Its amazing to think it may be painted and back being assembled within 2 weeks!!! After 5 long years its actually making major progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunavut Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ya I just took the picture because it made my car look so tiny beside it. I asked the guy how much he spent and he replied well over 100K !!!! Then he went on to brag that he gets 5 Mpg if he takes it easy. He later passed me on the hiway doing at least 80Mph as I was doing 55 and he flew by me, trying to make it to the next gas station I guess. I really feel good about my $400 find on eBay. Here’s a great deal I would buy if I had the cash, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1975-Datsun-280Z-2-2-Good-condition-runs-great_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ019QQitemZ290155789207QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Z cars rule.

Stealth-Z Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hiya,Has anybody got any pics of flared wheel arches (not bolt on type)? Just curious to see how they look. Done a few searches, only found 2 seaters and wanted to see how they look on a +2 before i do it myself. Thanks Fantagon I remembered the above post when seeing this on ebay today. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-1974-Datsun-260z-With-V8-400-Small-Block-Chevy-240z_W0QQitemZ180154337387QQihZ008QQcategoryZ6187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantagon Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hmmm, still undecided. Im not what to think of these, the rear end looks alright. But the approach on the front doesnt look right. The front requires blending between the front air dam and guard to complete the look. Thats my opinion and its just that an opinion. Thanks for the post Stealth-Z, appreciate it. I'm thinking I will go for a blended approach that imitates the zg's. But in metal so if someone knocks them they wont shatter. If anyone in Australia knows where to get a xennon air dam (as seen in stealth-z's post above) or the non-vented version I would appreciate knowing where? or whom to contact? Thanks in advance.

fantagon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The only whale tail i've seen on a Z 2+2 was the S130 never seen any pics of one on an S30 before. Would be interesting to see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfree Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi I don't have any pics of whale tales on a 2+2 but i have seen one on a 2+2 s30 it did look quite decent just that the paint wasn't that good and their was rust forming from the whale tail being their. The car was a Dark Blue and would probably look quite decent with a proper job of the paint and fitting of the wale tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrocious Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 i'd get it, if not for functionability then purely for wank factor and shade on a hot day at a car show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Z Turbo Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just installed a 240Z front bumper on my 2+2: It drops 40 lbs of weight, shortens up the car, and makes it look better, IMO. It looks better and seems faster with all that weight gone (placebo effect?) but I still need an air dam (the stock front valance looks odd with the new bumper) and some rubber strips to cover up the holes. Not sure what to do about the back. I don't think the rear one looks that bad, but it is 50 lbs of dead weight. Lots of new space for an Evo intercooler! Anybody know how to do a 240Z rear bumper swap on a 2+2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth-Z Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 zcarguy07 posted this find in the "Other Engines forum" Thought the other 2+2 guys would like to see this one as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-SR20DET-Powered-1977-Fairlady-Z-JDM-RHD-260z-280z_W0QQitemZ110171085657QQihZ001QQcategoryZ6187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
