FricFrac Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Welcome to the club. Nice find BTW I'd love to see some detailed pics of your intercooler piping. Nice choice on the intercooler as well. Not sure if you know this already or not. Make sure you don't use urethane bushings on both sides of the mount for the TC rods or they will break off.

FricFrac Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 heres mine 81 280zx with too many mods to list Nice. Don't see too many wide body S130s. I'm assuming it's not the Kaminari but the IMSA kit? Just curious what the hood scoops are for? I'm assuming it's just looks since it no longer lines up with the sheet metal ducting under the hood. Is that part of the IMSA kit? Have you though about putting wider wheels on the car to bring them out to fit the wide body? I've never seen an S130 with a wide body kit that the wheels fit other than the actuall IMSA race cars.

Nelsonian Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 S130z, YOur car looks so good in that color along with the Rota's. Is that a bmw shade of blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks for the compliments guys! The color is Jet Stream Blue from the newer corvettes. As far as the headlights go, I made them myself. All I did was retrofit a pair of tiburon projectors into a cheap ebay housing. I believe I have a right up here somewhere about them.

roger280zx Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ^^I agree. I have always admired your zx from your sig pic, and maybe one or two others I've seen. Do you have a bumper in there? I can't tell with the absent signal lamps. I usually prefer the earlier bumpers, the ones without the extentions, but damn this one looks nice and clean.
