Love so much about this car... colour, style, rims, interior, great job on the whole thing. I was just looking at the interior/stereo pics with envy/intrigue - how did you make the box/frame to house the head unit in the glovebox?
Cheers

Cool! Look forward to seeing it installed. Those alterations sound quite subtle which I think I could deal with - probably improves the driving experience too.
Hey guys, I was holding off with this post in the hope I could make it happen but unfortunately I'll be a late withdrawal - the Z won't be ready due to work commitments which also have me flat out over the weekend
Enjoy the day gents.
And another that many of you will of course recognise...

EDIT: Just saw the post from a while ago with it's own thread in the sale section... please ignore.
Do we know what was under the covers in LA? I can't find any news with various searches on the web. Am I correct in presuming there are no more releases in LA as the public have now been granted access?
EDIT: The two cars under the sheets were the Nismo GT-R and the Nismo Sentra. New Silvia/Zed will have to wait.
Are you at the show benny? Is there any information on when the covers might come off the two coupes on stage?
I completely agree on the styling of all of the Nissans revealed... quite aggressive which is a good sign. The GO+ is a show stopper.
I think the lines of the IDx resemble the kgc110. From side on there is almost a lancia stratos vibe with sharp lines which I personally find unattractive. The IDx is an interesting take on the small rwd sports car in that I don't really think it competes directly with the 86 for some reason. Maybe because the styling is so radical.. time will tell as it gets closer to production of course.
Some 240z tail lights on ebay for anybody who is hunting...

Mine is unregistered at the moment, but really only due to waiting on some suspension parts and trying to restore some light housings.
Likely to be on the road again mid-December if struts arrive... keen to meet some of the SA zed drivers!
I'm looking for a pair of under bumper 260z indicator lenses and assemblies (the type with both park light and indicator) if they are available and in reasonable condition?

Hi Gordo,
I was looking at these only last week and am quite tempted - I thought I saw somebody selling them a little cheaper but maybe I am mistaken. If you are interested we could order 2 sets to enable us to split postage costs?
I would be interested to hear if anybody has any knowledge of the quality and fit, as they are obviously an aftermarket item.
