I Like Exclusive: V. 2.0 Fairlady Z content

[Strawhat]

the first place trophies are stacking up. pictures to come soon from wekfest east

If theres one car that I think deserves them, this is it.
Rather than just having copious amounts of money and buying all the top end parts and having a show car, you've put time and effort and thought into your car, and engineered it to be better than stock form.
Without a doubt one of the most inspiring builds I've read.

Me: "Baby, which car did you like the most at the show?"
My GF: "That red Z with the really clean engine! I've seen it before and always **** them, but that one was one of the best ones."

Sweet work man. Never thought I'd see it in person. Well worth it

[hi its me alec]

immaculate taste

[1badg35]

thank you

few more










car will likely be coming all apart this week again. onto some of the fun stuff... 6 pt. cage, a little ass widening, and some adjustments.

just redesigned the radiator hold down again, and the new one should be cut this week, so that will go to powder. Few little details here and there, but for the most part, the rear fattening and cage work should keep me busy for the next few weeks...

[lowbug]

great work man

[tomshouse516]

This could possibly be one of the nicest cars ever.

[uvebeenrobd]

[Ruststang]

That is one of the most, if not the most clean bays I have ever seen. I don't know how you could make your car any cleaner, but I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[1badg35]

decided that if i wanted to keep the project going at the same pace and not just let it sit idle for a while in the garage, i first have to do some fall garage cleaning... i have far too much stuff namely wheels, and no use for a lot of it. Taking the car apart always takes up a ton of space, none of which is possible when there are 10+ sets of wheels all about.

some of the wheels in the collection that i am willing to put up for sale:

14" volk magnesium 3 piece fully refurbished- worth over 3k, - 1200 + shipping
18" kinesis k58 18x8.5/10 3 piece forged- 1600 + ship
16" bbs rs 5x130 16x8.5 and 16x9 with big lips, gold plated bolts, and centers powdercoated to your liking- 2400
16" bbs rf 5x120 same info applies as the rs set- 2300
the infamous spare tire. the 16"x5" bbs rs out of my z. well north of 700 in parts- 500 + 30 to ship I will even redrill it to 4x100 or something for 50$ extra. just redrilling not welding it, as its already powdercoated.

inquire through pm. for sale thread with all of this stuff will be up soon, but thought I would put this in here so people could see that i am doing this to keep the project moving and to make space. I am saving all i can to purchase a new house, so the tons of money i throw into the project is at a minimum as of recent, but big things need to happen. So, some rare wheels need to go

[DDM]

Huge respect for taking the Z32 to an even higher level!
Could you maybe post up some pics of the 14" Volk wheels?
Don't think I can afford them any time soon, but I'm super interested in the sizing and how they look.
