JP Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 RockyAuto is in Okazaki, about an hour by train from Nagoya in Aichi-ken. Then its a fair walk but the site has a map from memory, but if you can go by car its much better. www.rockyauto.co.jp I think you can get the mirrors on the orange car in Australia pretty easy, you can try all the dodgy little shops that import from indonesia and hong kong too as usually they have some copies of most japanese styles. Not sure if carmate still exists or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toecutter Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Our first meet was at your dads factroy. Ash organised it! :wink: I took quite a few pics of your car, look here: http://www.viczcar.com/v-web/gallery/thumbnails-8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garage5ran Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 cool as, i still miss it! I intend on building a new racecar later in the year, not sure what though. 240-260Zs are a bit $$ these days, looking at a 180sx or silvia as parts are cheaper and easier to find. Also maybe a Z31, but with an engine change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedevan Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 hmm looks like its 17", decided to open up all the pics and try to read the writing, in the one's i'd tried to do it on previously i coudlnt lol so if my eyesight is working he's running 225/45/r17 on the back, so thats more stretched than what sulio's running, unless the wheels are a bit skinnier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_hl Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 yeah they look too big for 16's, id say they're 17's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garage5ran Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I can't believe that here in Australia we did'nt get the 280Z S30 2 seater and the early 300zx in a 2 seater. How nice does this early 2 seater 300zx look! where did u find this pic? i would like to find more info on that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toecutter Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 From memory the pic was taken from a Japanese website but I'm pretty sure that actual photo was taken at The Tokyo Nostalgic Car Show, not sure how long ago. It might have been from this site! http://www.japanesenostalgiccar.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toecutter Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yer I suppose you would be doing a bit of a chuck out to do it up as a race car!? Those old 300's were pretty heavy were'nt they? I must agree looks very tough, good to get a 2 seater from O/S perhaps NZ!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
