90-96 300zx z32 taillight conversion to s30

[Challenger]

I meant just a flat panel so you can use any round or square tailights you want. Each light would be individual.

I like the idea. I would defenitly be interested in buying the kit once i see the final outcome.

The outlook of a 300zx panel being procuded is possible, but because of the "not very high" interest im not sure if we could run a line. As far as a flat taillight panel. 300zx taillights would not work with this panel because they are deceptively curved at the ends. A flat taillight panel would appeal to those doing the "corvette taillights". As silvia taillights, like 300zx taillights are curved at the ends, but at a greater degree than the 300zx taillights. So im not sure if this will accually become possible. Also as i have nno clue how the reverse light idea for the 300zx taillights would work. The chances of any of these being produced would take alot of planning, custom work, and model specific taillight panels designed only for that specific model....

[BurnoutZ]

On a side note... Wheres 280zforce's reverse lights?

[Challenger]

Wouldnt a panel like above would work for all s30's except the 2+2? And yes you could only use "universal" tailights for the panel.

I would be interested in almost any thing to replace those rear light and panel on the S30's. I think your concept above looks very nice.

 

Build them and they will come...

[BurnoutZ]

Are you talking about the 300zx taillights? Or the circular taillights w/ the basic flat fiberglass panel.

[DrEaM]

i don't like either personally.. i think that the stock housings with either some clear red lenses or led lighting would look pretty awsome. but then again who cares about my .02

[BurnoutZ]

Accually prior to this i looked for led tail lights and "jdm" taillights(red on the top, all white on the bottum)... i still think this would be a good idea but, most of the led taillights i seen on a s30 they just had random led bulbs filling up the lenz space... i think it should have led bulbs outlining the lenz and maybe two rows inbetween the oval "outline" of the lenz. All of my ideas are usually too complicated, far fetched, and probably will never happen though.

Looks like the member on here "HLS30-08077" makes led tail lights, and it appears he does a decent job..

[Wheeler]

To clearify I like the 300z lights concept. If you make this, please let me know - I'll buy the pannel provided it is good quality and fits well.

 

Thanks

This project is off. There is too many problems and discrepancies with it.

[chiefjaren]

that would be great if the price could stay decent, the tail light do need re-tooled, hope this is done

[73DatsunZ]

*bump* Anyone have any comments on this?

Here is the design i had in mind... or something similar

 

That looks pretty cool. Those flares are pretty wicked too

X 2 on this I think this is real sharp!!sinister looking!!JMO

[BurnoutZ]

Problem though is where to put the reverse lights....

I don't know the rear end of a S30 that well. But could you possibly put a light bar along the top in the licence plate indent? You could put a light spray of transperant paint over it to blend it in.

Maybe some one with a small oven could try slowly heating up just the lenses on a flat piece of steel and with gloves slowly force the lens flat. i have curved plastic before in a oven it worked good But u have to heat slowly so it does not start to warp

[SouthSideSlider]

you could retain the curvature of the stock lights and give the rear the same look as the Dodge Viper Compitition Coupe. I think that might look realy good but i'm not sure on the shape of the lights s i cant say much more.
