I had idea to add a graphic to the inside of the bonnet the Z is sort of begging for it really - I took a while to find a image that I liked the grove of,  i came pretty close to using a neon city-scape scene from Japan but in the end went with stylized strong Geshia Girl graphic matched the vibe of the car pretty well could always change it out down the line potentially but it was not exactly easy to fit.

awesome, didn't look like you break a sweat.
lol at porkers with flashing lights = TC or ABS on

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas and are heading to a happy new year. Our son and his partner gave me a great Christmas present. Max arranged a local artist to draw the Z including an ode to my old mate Rocky (RIP). I will admit to having a tear in my eye.
I also made a short video of the build from start to finish (6 years). Been out and about driving as much as I can and thoroughly enjoying the experience of driving the car and the reactions I get from people.

Thanks for sharing Alan, very interesting. 
I was lucky enough for visit Zama a couple of years back, the guides were super helpful, gave a parting gift on the way out and you could buy GTR water from the vending machine which I lugged around in my backpack for the following three weeks 
The journey there was a great memory also, for no particular reason, just stuck with me. Maybe it was the gardens, I've worked in the fresh food industry for many years!

Over the last month we have made some more progress. Most notably  passenger door, fenders and interior.
Its was so excited seeing the door and the fenders on the car. 
 

We plan on making just about every metal part for the S30z...the idea is to eventually make the whole car, if there is the market demand...just to give you an example, right now we have just about every part available to make a complete VW deluxe bus...we make close to 1,200 parts for the vintage VW buses....we hope to do the same with the S30z....

Air cleaners finally arrived via EFI hardware. 
fitted them up this afternoon. I’ll drop past and see the rego man tomorrow and see when he has time to do the checks. This will be much cleaner that oil filters.

ring around nissan wreckers.

I didn't know until a day or so ago and wanted to wait until it was made public.
So now I feel it can be more widely shared.
