jdm parts and accesories/ skyline tail lights

I have a 1987 300zx turbo and i wanna make it stand out from all the others, does anyone know if there are any jdm parts or accesories for this model. oh and does anyone know if there is a way to make the tail lights look like the ones from an r32 or r33 skyline? im thinking of just blacking out the red part on my tail lights except the two red circles in the middle and the turn signals, has anyone ever tried this?

I was going to. The Z32s have a kit which makes 3 small circles out of the main tailights , I think it looks great. To actually do Skyline tailights would probably require body work , though , but the effect would be awesome.

No problem. I've been in the Z scene for a few months now, and i've established a pretty good collection of great Z31 sites, some for custom mods, and a few good ones to order parts from as well. Let me know if there's anything else specific you're looking around for, and i'll try and help you out.

At least the Z31s used a common turbo , so we didn't get shut out there. You may wish to check JWTs website , they may have something........

www.motorsportauto.com Great website for Z specific parts, just click the online store link on the front page and check out the stuff
www.nopi.com surprisingly, this website has some nice parts for the Z's at good prices as well. I was pleased to find that they had a set of Brembo vented brake rotors for only $30 a set. good stuff
www.thespecshop.com Nice small website ran by Dan and Mary, a couple that frequently posts at www.z31.com in the forums. There is a nice selection of well thought out performance parts for different Z applications, and they are very knowledgeable if you email them with questions too.
www.jimwolftechnology.com These guys have been tuning Nissans for just about forever, so they know their stuff. They offer great ECU reburns and many different engine parts and accesories, and can tune them to your exact specs as well.
that's about all of the performance sites i know off hand, although i've been to a few others and i can't remember the url's. There are plenty of people at Z31.com that know of other places, so asking there wouldn't hurt either.
Oh, and B@lliZtik, i've still been unable to lock down any pages for a metal HG, but i'm still looking, and will let you know if i can get anything on them. I haven't asked anyone at Z31.com, so i may go and ask around sometime, they will probably know.
