76Datsun280z Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I know you guys probably don't know who I am since I haven't posted much on here, but I've never given the chance to show my car here. I just got her back from the paint shop last weekend. It's painted with a Nissan color "silver metallic" used with ppg paint. Came out beautiful!

CantZme Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 very nice, i like the finish very much...any plans to ditch the bumpers? i think the car would look amazing with out them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 great color. I would recommend turning the wheel the opposite direction so we can see the WHEELS and not just the tires and tension rods =) creates a better picture BTW i have a set of those wheels in the basement... i used to love em!

Rhnmsf Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 looks great....lol i have the same wheels on my car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I, too, have the same wheels on MY car.. and I hate em. Well, hate is a strong word, but my honest opinion is that they are one of the least attractive looking sets of wheels I have ever seen on a Z. They just seem to say "American Car" to me for some reason. I prefer the standard five slot mag.. which I know, makes no rational sense.. Slot mag, my favorite, A/R "spoke" mag, my least... whatever. No excuses given, I just don't like my wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Wow, it's like I am looking at photos of my own Z from 1995. I had the same wheels, the same color, the same bumpers, the same antenna, the same spoiler....it's an IDENTICAL twin. Do your center caps tick after you brake? Mine always made a ticking sound from expansion contraction on those wheels. Very nice paint by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76Datsun280z Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks a lot guys!! Wow, it's like I am looking at photos of my own Z from 1995. I had the same wheels, the same color, the same bumpers, the same antenna, the same spoiler....it's an IDENTICAL twin. Do your center caps tick after you brake? Mine always made a ticking sound from expansion contraction on those wheels. Very nice paint by the way. Hey there, I haven't noticed a ticking sound from the center caps when I brake, must be a different style. If you wouldn't mind posting a picture of your identical twin, I'd more than love to see it! My next big plans for it is to lower it about an inch with some Eibach's to give it that stance that I'm looking for. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 looks to be taken on film if i'm not mistaken. i like that look, suits the z and makes it look even better than it already does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Woof's72z Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Sweet ride, especially like the grey, very understated. Any other plans for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpuga Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 nice ride if you loose the bumpers you will notice the car will handle beter and take off a lot faster My $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean, and am now intrigued much more by these photographs.. any chance of a link to where we could get higher resolution versions? it IS a very nice little spread.

76Datsun280z Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thanks again guys! Any other plans for her? There's always small misolanius things that need to be done such as new seat covers, but I'm thinking about putting an Eibach lowering kit on her (1 1/2) to improve the stance and the handling of the car which I think would be a pretty cool. I see what you mean, and am now intrigued much more by these photographs.. any chance of a link to where we could get higher resolution versions? it IS a very nice little spread. Thanks, here are the links to bigger pictures. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/2162/01290001ny9.jpg http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5753/01290002jz6.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/5149/01290003dq2.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2473/01290004ux8.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/660/01290006iu3.jpg http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/5042/01290007qq0.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/672/01290008wz4.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/8597/01290009vh5.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7932/01290010sr6.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/8759/01290011rm7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
