Guest Willieboy240z Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I want to customize the rear end of my 240z. Current lights are cracked and and plastic is corroded. I notice somebody here put late model Nissan light panel in their Z. Any details? Also, what other lights are a good swap? I am looking to do not a lot of bodywork...

Take a look at Vinh Vu's very impressive 280ZX. Finished in bright yellow, he customized it fully with a rear treatment similar to a C5; but (AIR) he did all this BEFORE the C5 was out (ie. it's his original viewpoint!). Very impressive piece of work, murals kewl too Anyone got the link to paste it in here? or a pic or tooo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Here we go....Vinh's web Somehow I recall it in a different state, maybe it was a different car or stage? (Vinh?) I recall different taillights?? PS nice wheels Vinh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justin Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Yeah, I'm actually pretty curious what a 240 would look like with Z32 tail lights myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 if you guyz have seen the first gen skyline from the 70's it still has the circle tailights, but they are mounted on a panel resembling the early z car, just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zpeed Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 are you saying that the early Skyline Lights would nearly just about bolt on into the Z tailights... they would probably need some modding perhaps, but it is worth a try i believe... thanks for that one.... once i find a early 70s Skyline in the wreckers i'm taking those tail lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Phil Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Any taillight mod will require some body work. I put 89 300zx tailights on my 78 280Z. I Choose them because they are virtualy flat which made mounting them a ton easier.
