Alrighty, a bit of an update. My project 260z is taking a bit of a turn. I never intended to do a lot of performance mods, but after hanging around you guys, the bug is catching on. I really love my car and I want it to drive as mean as it's going to look. I going to stick with the L series engine and keep it NA with triple carbs. I want to keep the character of the original Z, and don't really want to stuff around with engineers anyway. After seeing Peters legendary work with motors, a PMC engine is at the top of my list. I just have to decide now how hot I want it. I am entertaining the idea of getting a 3.1L stroker... when I told my dad how much I was thinking of spending on that, he almost took my head off. It's probably totally beyond what I need, but it's so tempting! One thing is for sure, I'm gonna have to live at home for a bit longer to pay for this expensive habit Cheers, Hamish

Thanks mate, I'll get onto him.

Hi everyone, Just looking for an L28 f54 p90/n42/e88 for a possible future rebuild. Running condition and located in melb prefered. Have contacted alfa about their fibreglass dashs but havent heard back. Give me a pm if you have either that you want to let go. Cheers Hamish

Bre spoiler doesnt even fit a coupe properly anyway

me too

Nice car! Enjoy!

Cool videos

Oooo you dedicated your first post to my query. Thanks! I'd be interested to see how it turned out, throw up a picture some time. I won't be going that route though cause I've told my gf I want it as a Christmas pressy. Thanks! Hamish

wooooooooowwwwwww. Looks good.

you should have put blocks on her feet like short round in Temple of Doom

Good to see your car on Saturday. I was surprised, I didn't know that a 280zx could actually look good!

Thanks mate! Much appreciated. Looks good. What i like about this one is that its made to come down to be flush with the sides. How is the fitment for you? Is it as flush as it looks in the topstage pics?

Ash was kind enough to have me over at 9.30 last night to pick up a starter motor, so I might still make it in the zed. Fingers crossed!

Having the worst day! Went to Bunnings and got a pair of long bolts for my bumper, and in the pack, one of the nuts is missing! Then I go to start up my car, it turns over a few times, stops, but the starter motor keeps going. It starts wizzing and smoking, I can't stop it, a couple of minutes later it dies. I don't think I'll be able to fix it before Saturday :(:(:(:(:(

Sorry for not being specific, im interested in the rear spoiler. Ive seen the top stage pics, looks great, i just want to see some other examples before I get one. Thanks!

do it. you will get lots of hot chicks.

Anyone purchased one of these? got pics?

Thanks! I'll measure to see but theres not a lot i can move down. Maybe I'll get less streched tires to fill out the arches a bit more if needed.

Personally, I'm a fan of Zeds both with and without flares. Just go with whatever you think is best for your car and don't worry about chopping it up. I think you guys are right about the coilovers, will have a good long think about it.

Hi all, I got my Zed back from Lurch on Thursday after a bit of body work. Today I've spent a little bit of time putting the wheels and the front spoiler on. I'm happy with the wheels. They fit straight on without coilovers. Just needs to be lowered an inch. I am tossing up now whether to just sell the Arizona Z coilover set I got. Not 100% sure on that yet though. The fit of the front spoilier is okay, but I'll need to drill some new holes into it to bolt it up properly. Also had an absolute pain in the bum with indicator/fog lights. The screws are totally rusted up. I think I'll just get new ones cause they are in pretty bad condition (like the rest of the car). I've got a fibreglass front bumper which I'm spray painting black and that will go on soon. Eventually though, the front spoiler, flares, bumper, and rear spoiler will be resprayed so the shade of black matches. Happy times! Hamish

Just got my zed back from Lurch so I'llbe there!

Good day. Loved the Celicas.

Put me down as interested. I am also stock, but gotta start somewhere.

285 on 10 inch? why?

Looks like he's put a Becker Europa Stereo in it, which can be retrofitted with the aux jack at the below link. Looks fantastic and is period correct. http://www.beckerautosound.com/Classic/mb_classic%20transistor%20aux.html
