Newbie from Norway with 240z

[ROVdriver]

Update:  The car is now ready for the street. Had to convert it to fairly original shape to meet the norwegian MOT-requirements for registration. Here are some pics of the car in MOT-approved condition.  Will get the norwegian plates next week:)

 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of some of the family's JDM-cars:)

Very nice...

 

That paint job looks flawless...

[gav240z]

I like it with the original hubcaps. Reminds me of the model cars you buy.

[S30Mike]

Paint is lovely, still got hte california plates too?

 

Is that an AW11 MR2 and a TA22 Celica i see there?

[sexual_sushi]

Good to see the Z has the garage

 

Really smooth looking car. I have a friend going to live on Norway for a year and she's looking for a car, she says they all seem to be quite expensive over there. I told her she should buy a z but I doubt that will happen

[FLEXZED]

very nice car mate

 

Is that an AW11 MR2 and a TA22 Celica i see there?

 

thats a RA23 my son has one so my garage will look similar to this when i get my zed on the rd

[S30Mike]

ahh yes it is an RA23.

 

I need to pay more attention to the detail, i always get them mixed up.

[gav240z]

ahh yes it is an RA23.

 

I need to pay more attention to the detail, i always get them mixed up.

 

Same here, I think you can tell by the front Grille the RA23 is slightly different in that area. I personally like the TA22 style most.

[ROVdriver]

Its a 76 ra23 as you already found out, and my brothers AW11 1987. Actually there is good space for all 3 cars in the garage:)

 

And yes, cars are expensive in Norway

great car!

lots of attention to detail.

Did Jan @jancarfactory do the interior?

looks very familiar. I have been in contact with him about doing some bits and pieces but communication is slow.

[ROVdriver]

Yes, its from Jan carfactory. It takes a while, but the results are good.

Same here, I think you can tell by the front Grille the RA23 is slightly different in that area. I personally like the TA22 style most.

 

Easiest way to tell the RA from the TA is the lights in the front of the fender where it meets the bumper. TA they are the indicators (orange) and are sloped on an angle. RA they are side lights (Clear) and are vertical. Well, at least that's how I do it. I had an RA28 and my brother had a TA22.

 

Nice Z.

As a matter of interest, can you tell us the break down of costs that you were charged for the interior in your currency, Dash, Seats, Door Trims, Carpets etc?

 

Cheers

Ca 30 000 NOK for the interior.

 

Coilovers and brakes is now installed, and the rims have been restored.

[Ben]

That's one nice ride. You've done a lot of good work in a pretty short amount of time.

[Stivva]

That is an absolutely gorgeous car. Congratulations on the final product.

[funzies]

very nice clean zed, congrats

[Sirpent]

Interesting,

 

Just saw the post for the cost of the interior

 

Krone of Norway 30,000 NOK = AUS $5709.95

 

Pretty much on par with what you would expect to pay a quality trimmer in Australia.

 

Looks fantastic nevertheless.

The car is finally on the street, first season after restoration.  Feel good to finally drive her:)  (Her friend is called Celica... )
