jkh280zx Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hey Jared, I too love the color. Swap to what?? FYI, had my 83 since 84 and she was wash & waxed and covered; however, the paint started to fade in the late 90s. jkh280zx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8_DatZun Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sorry i never signed in on this. I've had my 83 280zx since August 2004. Started tearing it down about 2 years ago, money got a little tight. It has a 383 stroker SBC with 700r4 tranny. Got a few pics of things i've done but not really as many as i should have. Here it is the day i bought it. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/turb022/ZXBuild/280z001.jpg Here it is with the rolled engine bay http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/turb022/ZXBuild/rolledenginebay.jpg 1977 280z dash retro-fitted... not going to keep. going to make a custom http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/turb022/ZXBuild/zdashinzx.jpg And here is a photoshop that i believe Mikelly did a while back by my request of I THINK DavidK's car... Anywho this is what i want my ZX to look like in the end. Possibly a dark lime green color tho. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/turb022/ZXBuild/ZxMorphIntoNewCar_10.gif I've still got alot of work to do to it.. About to tear the engine and tranny back out and do the widebody and some other mods. I'll post more as it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifegrddude Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well I've been on this board forever, but I don't think I've posted pics of my zx yet. It's been through several changes, mostly dealing with the wheel/tire combo (thanks to the giant potholes that appear on the freeways after the rain here in Cali, I15->I8 merger FTL). Here's the current setup: I just got my Z back up and running after blowing a headgasket back in April. I'm so glad to be driving my Z again rather than the 510!

nbesheer Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Man, I just love S130s with longchamps. Kudos on the awesome car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdawg2 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm loving all the people with the open front bumpers. It looks awesome. Now if there was good clean way to fill in the gaps between the headlight buckets and the bottom lip that would be even more amazing.

biglurch Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey Everyone! I've got a 79 s130, all stock. I had a little suspension and cooling system work done on it last summer, but now its running good. I also recently discovered HybridZ and ive been living on the forums ever since, absorbing everything ive been paging thru. Now im debating between swapping in a l28et or a 1jz-gte. Only time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Awesome project Grunzter...those wheels are killer! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunzter Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi slownrusty, Thanks for the good words. Wheels are made in Australia and are basically the same as the BBS LM style... not cheap but worth it! I will update the pictures over the next few weeks as progress is good at present. Yesterday the front wheels were on and it actually looked like a car!!! Cheers Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
283ZX Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Here's my junk. Bone Stock except for the turbo wheels. L28E, automatic, turbo wheels, 200K miles. It's just been sitting next to my shop for the last year as my current project is an '85 Camaro Z28. I do eventually plan to do something with it.
