henryyxyu Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 how much work would it be? I know most people would say to just sell the S130 but I'd prefer not too.. ( the cars been in my family since '81 and the body is 100% rust-free, haven't found alotta S30 examples in similar condition). I'm trying to go for this look (see attached picture). I know its not 100% possible with an S130, but just trying to get as close to it I guess. Any custom fabbing would probably be done at a shop since I don't have any tools at home. any help would be appreciated...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 There are ZX G-noses available from Aritaspeed. Don't think you'll be able to modify a normal one for a ZX... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you feel like importing one, it's already available for the 280zx: http://www.mjpshop.co.uk/product_info.php?pid=372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aritaspeed nose would be the most practical, since it's located in the u.s. and would be much cheaper, but the OP stated he wanted to put an s30 g-nose on the s130, and the link I provided is about as close as he can get to that.

Supamandatsun Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 the S30 curvy G-nose does not flow with the rest of the 280ZX. And the Arita speed type would need side skirts to match the new bumper in most cases. It also look much better with a widebody kit. There's also a Japanese nose piece that modernizes the ZX. What if you went custom? I quickly drew a cool porschy nose on 280zx profile render that i think would look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
