Z's Z's and more Z's. What a collection. Reminds me of the early photos of cars lined up,on the wharf awaiting shipment.

I don't think it's cool and it was a Z once but thought this was the best place to post this. Enjoy? :-(

Thankfully I don't see that catching on as a trend. Glad it's a 280z and not an early 240z though!

Very nice production, nice car (air suspension is not my cup,of tea) lots of interesting little things in the video. Watch it twice you will see different things.

Best thing about that clip was the synth music, definitely channels stranger things.

 

The car overall is clean looking but it doesn't really do anything for me on a deeper level. It follows all the popular body mods and for me just comes up a bit short in terms of impact.

 

Am I being overly fussy or is it a sign of maturing taste? Not sure... But I feel like telling him to raise his car an inch like I would tell a kid with his pants sitting too low to pull em' up.

I think you must be getting old (sorry I mean maturing) Gav. I quite like it, not something I would do myself as it is somewhat impractical sitting that low but does look cool for a photo shoot. I quite like the colour, haven't seen a colour like that on a zed before and yes it looks to be a very clean well built and finished car.

 

Just my opinion, just saying.

I like the clip. The off centre and angles shots, the close ups, the use of the different lighting etc. He has taken insertion or copied some of this from the "dare to be different" video. The sound track is also appropriate to the clip. It gives a mellow relaxed feel to it fusing old style melodic tones with new age electronics, no in your face junk here.

The car is not what I would build but it looks to be a nice car. I would be interested to see more of the car and what has been changed or preserved mechanically. I get the feeling that it probably has a few modifications to go along with the "air bags".

Seeing clips like this gives me inspiration to keep moving with my car as I think they depict one of the great joys of a car, driving it.

Not sure if this has been posted before. It's a short glimpse of what could be an original factory race car? Just the way I like em, pure sound.

Fixed embedded video. Gareth no need to use embed code, just copy / paste the Youtube URL (don't need to make it a link either) the system will automatically convert it to embedded video for the forum.

The '565' ('Gorgo') sticker on the bottom of the rear valance identifies it as the replica built for Shun Koike by my friend Hideki Matsui of NP35. It was featured in Nostalgic Hero magazine back when it was first put together.

 

Shun sold it some years back and I don't know the name of the guy who owns it now.
