adam Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 So it's your Z I see at DT Panels! I look forward to seeing it completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsa224 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi Saxon, seems like were both doing the same colour with the same car as inspiration. That orange 240z has a ZG front which is kind of different. Good luck with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks guys Hi Saxon, seems like were both doing the same colour with the same car as inspiration. That orange 240z has a ZG front which is kind of different. Good luck with the build My inspiration for the colour was this golf, Vu from DT's found the Lamborghini orange colour which was pretty similar so going with that. Which is the ZG zed that's inspired you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsa224 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm basing my build on the orange zed that you posted. Mines Porsche gt3 orange with satin gray flairs, spoiler, bonnet vents and front spoiler. I've matched the trim stitching to the orange of the car which out being too tacky. The wheels are 17" rota rbx's in shadow chrome with polished lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 sounds awesome. Yeah I changed my mind at the last minute, not going the same orange as that car from hybridz. I think the Porsche ft3 orange will look awesome, and the satin grey with it will look tough. Will be great to see it when it's done!

Agno Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm guessing the orange Work Wheels promo car. The one with Meister CR01s on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluegel Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi guys, After a little bit of a search, I have bought my 2 seater '75 260z! I am so friggen over the moon right now!!! Even now in its unkempt and unmodified appearance, it still looks bad ass. Can't wait til i start fixing it up a bit. I heard that only about 150 2 seater 260z were imported into australia so it is quite rare if this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah orange looks awesome on zeds, the more the better! Hi guys, After a little bit of a search, I have bought my 2 seater '75 260z! I am so friggen over the moon right now!!! Even now in its unkempt and unmodified appearance, it still looks bad ass. Can't wait til i start fixing it up a bit. I heard that only about 150 2 seater 260z were imported into australia so it is quite rare if this is true. I don't know much about it but that number would surprise me as I know quite a few 260z 2 seaters in Aus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260Coupe Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Records are scarce however the number of 260z 2 seaters sold from '74 to '78 was around 650......info came from my sister who worked at Nissan in the mid eighties and did some reearch collating import numbers.

fluegel Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Alrighty, paint is going on Were those large rectangular holes on the back hatch behind the cardboard cover sealed with neoprene? sheet they are on the 2+2 hatch although it has different holes. When I made sure the holes were covered it more or less cured the exhaust gas smell problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I dunno I never noticed the exhaust smell, maybe cause I'm a smoker though and lost my sense of smell a long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nah Lurch no issues there They had issues with the paint though, they had to go back to bare metal as there were chemical reactions going on so it all had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
