Haha, Both items Seem Spoken for. Brave/Stupid haha. Well its Different and thats what i wanted. I Wanted a 240z, That looked like it was built in the 80's, And "Let go" until today. 80's Period mods? But, Honestly. After its all said and done. The outside's Brand new. Seats, Guages, Boost controllers all new. Seems a Let down for the engine to look Aged.. So Rb25. Well.. Rb30/25 Twin turbo :S Hope the manifold will fit haha.

Ahhh! Well After a Interesting day at the Dyno Ive decided to Get rid of my L28 Alltogether and go the rb route, Well, It was decided awile ago, But finally getting parts off the car, to make way for the new engine currently being built. 40mm - Dellorto's + Redline Manifold and Linkage, Also with 3 "Turbo" Rebuild kits. $800. (Brought the kits but never put them in, Would be Ideal for the buyer before install.) Turbo Manifold that i brought of a Member id say 2 years ago or so, Was origonally on a 240k, Its a tight fit, but Uploaded is it installed, Dirty, Messy welds, but with the Carbs it wasnt really seen So i wasnt to worried. Includes Turbo and Dump $250 Origonally The plan was the Fated, Triple Blow through's, Which "Worked" But so unreliable it wasnt funny. Engine will be Taken apart since i already have a Buyer for the Stroker block So Head + Traded block will go up soon. Btw, Pickup in Coolaroo Vic, Really Dont want to be sending away.

The Vinyl goes under any rubber seals there may be, Windscreen Door rubbers and such. Really Tight bits like head/tail lights Are normally removed to allow access. I Don't Think Wraps Will be frowned upon any more then they are at the moment since its such a new and Different approach to a Massive industry in paintwork. Thinking now, The main cars that are Wrapped Other than Business and Race Applications are Supercars, Ie The $100,000 Lamborghinis Mercs and Such. All Spending so much on there car only to pull up next to another one in there Crowd having exactly the same Car. Being in The like's of Dubai and Parts of America having so much cash flow in certain neighbourhood's Car Refinishing from Factory is always Going to happen. Lets face it, People want there Cars to Stand out, Its why we all here have Zed's, But what happens when you pull up to your next meet and see 5 Red 240z's With Rotas and black Flare's? It doesn't necessarily Take away from your car, But knowing there is another one Just like yours Leeds to more customisation normally Doesn't it? And for Big impact, There's not much better then a Wrap Quality of a Wrap is only as good as the prep behind it, Only as clean as the person who applies it and only going to last as long as you care for it. Just like paint really. However it has one advantage. It Can be peeled of to Re expose the Factory showroom finish before Resale. Which i think Works extremely well for The people who can afford the Supercars of the world. Moving up to the next model as soon as they come out. Anyway if Anyone has any questions about wraps just Shoot Btw. One part that turned me off a wrap on my own zed was the Headlight bucket, It would be a serious pain haha.

Exactly, Paint finish's Can Last well over 20 years, However they require a load of attention to maintain a Decent shine for that long a time. In Saying that, How long is your body filler Guaranteed for? As for Wrapping a Zed in Black id Definently not recommend it.. Vinyl Will never have the shine that a paint job Has. It would look fairly Tacky as said.. Having worked for a Restoration shop, A Decent paintjob Cant be beaten for "That Glossy Look" However with Alternative finishes ie Matte/Carbon/Brushed A Wrap, Can and Do seem to Stick out more from the Crowd, All for a price thats hard to compare with a Paint finish. To Put in in perspective though. I Know Both, am able to do both, And have chosen a Paint finish.

Wrapping Cars for Business's is part of my job, The biggest issue we have is Vinyl Shrinking in the summer, Even with Post heating both with heatgun/Spraybooth baking. When looking for Vinyl try and look for 3M or Avery products, Ive Never really had a problem with either. Prints and Laminates are another story.. Anyway! Vinyls are Rated at 5-10 Years for vehicle applications, So They should last as long as a Decent paint job. Application is Tricky to say the least. Best to try some spare bits before attempting the car. However im quite interested to see what your thinking of doing, Inbox me if you need any info or tips *Attached an old photo of when i wrapped my bonnet oh, About 6 months ago or so
