  1. For square tail lights i think this one from malaysia is the best. I also really really want those side skirts
  2. Got a close up of these taillights?
  3. I always thought about doing a r34 tail light conversion but i think they are a tad too big. The old skyline lights can look good Round tail lights can look good also. Check out z force productions. they make a corvette style fiberglass inlay for the zeds http://www.zforceproductions.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65&Itemid=84

    260z Hood Vents

    How much out of interest?
  5. Fanatasic! thanks for that. great answer
  6. Hmm that might be an idea. i will have a look into it. thanks guys
  7. Isnt that cop bait? Old car with smoked taillights. Here piggy piggy!
  8. Any ideas about the plastic welding? My dad used to use some chemicals to bond vinyle together when he was a vinyle layer but I think butt plastic welding could work. But i dont know how good it would look after the welding...? Any have any exp with plastic welding?
  9. Yeah the 240z tail lights look good but quite $$$ and hard to find. Also i dont like trying to make my 260 look like a 240. This is a happy medium between the tow and is a little interesting and unique
  10. These look a bit too modern for my liking. Hence the 2/3 orange 1/3 clear
  11. How good is the lense paint? I want it to look like the orginal not a cheap paint over. Here is what the lenses look like installed
  12. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-260z-280z-clear-tail-lights-lenses-1974-1978-/400246711946?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d3090268a
  13. I love the 240z tail lights and i also love the 260z tail lights BUT what if there was a 250z model. Here is a photoshop I did. Now the interesting thing is you can buy clear indictor lenses. If you could plastic weld the orange and clear lenses together you could easily make this up. What do you think?
  14. sometimes you can get away with putting some more hardner on if the bog is only thin. wait a while then sand. however if its a thick lot of bog. scrape it out
  15. What seats are those? Look great
  16. University cigarette huh?!?
  17. This last chop looks like a 350z
  18. I did a quick roof chop for you. Now its a 2+2 coupe. However i still think the amount of time, fabrication, money and engineering involved would make a 2 seater purchase seem more logical. And when its all finished despite all good intentions it just mightn't look good. But go for it i will def watch the build thread.
  19. I originally bought a cheap 2+2 but i was really in love with the 2 seater. I did i lot of looking into converting it. I found that with a lot of effort you could swap the left and right rear windows and invert them to make a 2 seater styled 2+2 window but the bit you couldn't over come was the hump of the roof or the extra length of the car. In the end i waited and got a 2 seater. Im sorry for the 2+2 lovers but i really just couldn't get over the rear hump. 2 seaters are more sexy. As a mate said the 2+2 are the males and the 2 seaters are the females of the zed world. PS That brown zed was a $50 swizz cheese zed that was so dead and parted out . I didn't murder a good zed but i did practice on, salvage and murder a dead zed lol Also the blue zed is a Photoshop of a 2+2 body with 2 seater roof line but i dont think it could be made in reality with out a lot lot of work
  20. I couple pics with out the rag top would prob help the sale.
  21. What are the bonnet vents? I havent seen them before like that. Any closer pics of them. Great car by the way. Good job
  22. Post the pics here i just wanna have a look please
  23. I dont think the rear tail lights are too bad. What are they exactly. Looks like early skyline but with a big chrome ring?
  24. Maybe the member topstage would be interested in making some fibreglass door cards up? Im sure a few members would be interested. I'm would be...
  25. I was chatting to my engineer a while back when i had a 2+2 about this same exact idea. His recommendation was simple - just to plug the old seat belt holes with bolts, remove the back seat and then it could be registered with only 2 seats he said. Hope this helps
