From day one to earlier today. Right now the front apron is off because a new radiator is going in (yeah I am still running the original) I will have pics of that as I go also to add tomorrow. Hope you all like it, and all feedback and constructive critisism.

damn, I hope you restore that thing like new. I hate seeind old worn out parts on such an awesome car.

Same here. I like those Zs...I have it in the back of my mind to get one as a second car one day. Is it very very hard to get parts for it? Or are there places like the Chevy etc. dealers who still make some replacement parts? I'd love to take on a project like that. One day...

um lets put it this way. It's either a bitch to find it OR it expensive. Don't buy a Z thinking you won't have to put much money in it. But yes I recieved a new front apron yesturday, I am trying to find new seats for a decent price, body work will all be done by me, and my uncle is a professional car painter/airbrusher. Soooooo anything else?

Give me some time and let me fix everything mechanically (overheats) once I fix that problem then all of my attention will go to the body.

Yeah, I figured it would be like that. Still cool as hell though.

They are awesome cars though man. If you could find one that was mechanically sound you could get it looking good with some bondo primer and paint

Those Zs are freakin awesome! I love em. Classic styling that dosent die. I wanna get one one day as well for my second car too. The earlier turbo models 1984-85 had the little hood scoop on the hood and on the side skirts it had the turbo decal. There was a limited edition turbo model that was gold, black and grey as well. God if I had that one it would be under a car cover night and day. Then in 1988-1989 they released the turbo model youve got, revised tail lights. Nissan motorsports sells the conversion from flip up to fixed headlights. As well as other parts, there are a ton available just gotta shop around. Courtesyparts.com has got parts and upgrades. As for the seats reupholyster those bad boys or for the same price maybe less throw some sparcos in there. Enjoy! ^_^

I want some fixed headlights do they make them for 87s?

Ninety-Nine SE-L · Jul 11th, 2004, 03:22 PM

Ya, that is definately a badass car, I especially love the digital HUD.

You don't exactly have to restore it with original parts, those can be tricky to find. Maybe jus restuff and re-upholster the seats, and find aftermarket components for the worn out parts.

asleepz · Jul 11th, 2004, 06:28 PM

yeah you'll love that digital HUD when it goes hay wire saying you have 82 gallons of gas in your car and that you are going 177 MPH and your engine temperature is cold

Ninety-Nine SE-L · Jul 12th, 2004, 04:49 AM

I wish they still made digital HUDs on most cars. Those kicked ass. Much more accurate than our needles.

asleepz · Jul 12th, 2004, 11:01 PM

they are only as acurate as the pinon gear is set

but still more accurate b/c our needles seem to be off over 80MPH.

asleepz · Jul 15th, 2004, 02:48 PM

how far is it off after 80?

Ninety-Nine SE-L · Jul 15th, 2004, 10:57 PM

depends. Lemme put it this way, the GA16 governor kicks in at 109MPH, but some people claim they can hit 120, some say 115, mine said exactly 109 when the fuel cut off, so it's hard to tell.
