'That' 240z

Everyone knows the car.

The owner Yuta, has given it an update....

I personally liked it in the last guise better, but I like that look.

i luv it,

bet it goes like stink too........

look at how slammed the ass is...

just repaint and it would be a show'eee

Is it the ratrodZ?

I liked it before when it was green and a missmatched front quarter panel.

Still like the idea though..... TUFF

I think its very japanese war plane style now, and I like it.

Love it!

Yeah love it!  Love the war plane look and the way its dropped...

Does anyone have a link or info to the story behind this 240z?

Now i like this suck puppy even more. I need help Doc

I would get my sling shot out and give it a few bullet holes to match the war plane look

Can't see it going like stink, however I think it looks like stink.

A car that low is good for nothing more then parking, there is absolutely no suspension travel what so ever, and if it is the same car as this one it is definitely not well put together.

How can people like this, and if they really do, how can they admit that they like it.

Oh well, I guess some people have different taste.

I like the look.....as a novelty.      As a car, to drive.... no way. Horses for courses though, it realy depends what they are trying to achieve with it. Certainly got us talking. You mention build quality..... well it doesn't have to be built well if it's only to catch attention.

The guy actually drives the car though. That is the scary part.

I have driven some pretty scary unroad worthy cars, but when it comes to suspension, you can't have welding like this.

Maybe I'm just too cranky from a lack of sleep, the car just angers me.

It's very 'unique'  you either love it or loathe it. I like the war paint version, the old style looked like a backyard experiment gone wrong. Unless there's HUGE adjustment in the suspension.... could it have airbags like those rude low hilux's I see from time to time 

Most things look great on a Z except wail tails  lol

Mmmmmm pretty cable ties draw your eye away from the welding 

No air bags, just coilovers from a honda.

So the travel is 10mm and the bump stops are the chasis rails hitting the road    It must have ride quality of a tram. Form over function.

I see this 240z as a form of art, its intruiging, catches the eye, has a ton of charactor... who cares about drivability when you don't have to drive it. Just sit back and admire it, better than alot of modern art out there now....

But everyone to their own

who cares about drivability when you don't have to drive it

And if you are a 20 year old who sold his civic daily driver to buy this 240z???

Im not driving it, im admiring the photo and art........ if he wants a fractured back from lack of a good ride, doesnt effect my viewing pleasure

I still love it!

Agree on the WW2 war paint, very unique look that has been increasingly recently used in custom motorcycles. Lets hope he drives better than the Zero pilots flew!

Jokes aside though, its really not a practical car (by any means, and I agree with Garvice on this), nor one that really serves any purpose, but to me goes a long way to show the extent to which wheels and ride height can and do dramatically alter the 'look' of, and usability of a car. On seeing that car in its earlier guise, it; 1) looks closer in shape and scale to a 2000GT (to me), and 2) tricked me into thinking it was some sort of computer generated image.  On this point, I recently read that Rolls Royce is famously known (in one instance) for its massive wheel size. RR designers say that the total height of a RR must be equal to 2.5 times the height of the wheel, to give the car what RR describe as the perfect proportion. This, they claim is the reason why the newer/bigger RR's are using monstrous 22" wheels.

i love this thing hope to have something the same but none of that bad welding

The zombie z has a "relatively stock" L24 with twin SUs so it's not fast.

I like the car it's something different and it definitely looks tough. I'm not saying I would do my car up that way but I respect the vision and work that went into creating it.

To me this car is in the same class as a restored to factory car. Nice to look at and you can appreciate the time and effort that went into creating it but at the end of the day not as fun to drive as modded L28 with triples and low stiff suspension.

What's light weight about it? And go karts still have suspension engineered into them.

it started its life like this
