jfisher Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong, but that airdam looks a lot like the MSA fiberglass airdam. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Can anyone confirm this? I can confirm that is not the front spoiler on my car. It is made by a now defunct Japanese Tuner company, I actually bought the spoilers straight from them many many years ago. I will have to dig up my records it was Junction something or Garage something. The name slips me right now. I am lucky if my socks match in the morning.

I guess I just really like the look of the ZX without the front bumper. I'd like to see your car with the hood on it and no front bumper. Maybe make some kind of tasteful custom front grille?

I do a lot of highway driving and It made my frontend VERY floaty it was every where. Yes it does look alot better but thats just my experience.

ZXR_KiD Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 aerodynamics kick in, when the bumper that used to deflect air over the hood*and weigh the nose down* is removed ALOT more air gets into the engine bay than the car was ever desighned for and will generate quite a bit of lift on the nose. floaty is indeed the correct term as thats exactly what the car tries to do in that sit.

zxjuiced Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks guys! Its coming along...s-l-o-w-l-y! To answer your questions: - The wheels are 17 x 9.5" all the way around. - No spacers - 275/40 Rear - 245/45 Front - Suspension is a full coilovers front and rear which I had to re-do to fit the dang wheels! 9.5" wheels do not fit all that well on the ZX unless they are around a -25mm offset. These are -19mm which is all that is available. - Front Air Dam was purchased many years ago by a Japanese Body Kit Manufacturer that is now defunct. Yasin Hey Yasin, I got to admit your s130 look awesome! love the stance and wheel and tire combo. Great choice. It`s one of the biggest pains in the *ss to pull that look off, especially with the limited wheel options for the 280ZX.I`ve been there and back on wheels for my ZX and Im still not completely satisfied with my wheel and tire package. As for the front air damn I do beleive it to be a Bob Sharp Racing air dam. look just like the one on my ZX except for mine, I custom molded driving light into it.

slownrusty Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Beautiful and rich color ZXjuiced! If you lower your car a bit more and stick to the wheels in your first posted picture, your car would look awesome. Nice work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hey Yasin! Since we are on the topic of your front air dam......I had a boo boo the other day....and....I broke mine in half . Luckly my friend does fiberglass repair and is fixing it for me(the incident happened right in front of his shop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckly my friend does fiberglass repair and is fixing it for me(the incident happened right in front of his shop). Man, sorry to hear that!! Mine was badly broken in a few places from shipping when it came from Japan, but the beauty of FRP is that it can be repaired! What did you hit?
