  • The Lovely S130 Named Shady

    Whats up, STANCEWORKS
    I'm pretty new to Stanceworks, just been lurking around for a couple of months,
    I fell in love with the stance scene when i first learned about it. Well I've always loved lowered cars. (mini trucks, lowriders, bagged dulleys etc..)
    Little back story to the 280zx, My dad bought it off of an ex-coworker, and the guy told him if he could get it running that he could have it for $25. So my dad a mechanic with many years of experience did some work on it, turned some wrenches, poured some oil, replaced filters. Enough to get that sucker out of there and running on its own 4 wheels. So about a couple of hours spread out into a week, we had ourselves a Datsun. (with no title ) But who cares it was $25 Dollars, if that isn't a bargain I don't know what is.

    Heres some pictures of my canvas, that has seen better days. The body is very straight.



    Please pay no attention to the huge R and lettering, my dad put that, thinking it would be nice. Will be removed eventually.
    Ay adds ten horsepower.




    And the horribly horrible interior, looks like a tiger was let loose in that thing.



    The hood open, all cars deserve front hinged hoods. Its just the right thing.


    We actually turned it on before I received it from my dad, that's when I fell in love with.
    The exhaust is disconnected right behind the cat. So it was loud. (excuse my spanglish in the video)


    As you can tell in the previous pictures there is surface rust on both rear quarter panels so I started working there first



    Primed and removed rear bumper. It is literally a big piece of rust being held together with the plastic. Got rust bits in my eyes, taking it off. That fun.

    Better pic.


    Then this happened, if youre wondering why. The hood is going to be replaced since its not worth fixing. So I was like eh, why not right, so I attempted to do a rising sun.

    So I ran out of Rusto black about here.


    So I had to dig into my Graffiti stash. And found this can. Sabotaz brand, Maypo black 600ml.
    That really helped calm down my urges to go bombing.

    And done with the bottom coat of black.

    Then I drew a way to small of a circle

    Sun rays all crooked and what not.

    Painted and ran out of red.

    You can tell how unplaned this was, looks horrible. But better then rust right?
    And adding this im up to about 25 hp gain with all I've done to it.

    All the shitty interior in the hatch.

    For some reason I still set it down gently.

    Found rust, YAY!

    Because red house carpet in your car is playa. And some leafs, bitches love leafs.


    Still has this.

    And that brings us to today,
    Thanksgiving night, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

      I sure will. Ahh no way, thats what I fell like I need the most. My dash is so torn up, I even remember when my dad first brought the car home I was sitting in the passenger seat stabbing at the dash making holes in it with a screw driver. My dad told me to stop but I was like why its already messed up.
      Also can you see the video, It doesnt play on my computer?

              Okay, good. It didn't want to play for me.
              No, I live like 5 minutes away from downtown, in Oak Cliff.
              Actually Richard Av. isn't that far, is it of 75?

                  Nice, I would love to see it a deep blue color with some carbon fiber fender flares and some nice RS Watanbaes on it. I'll be checking this out for some updates. I would look at RockyAuto's Zs for some inspiration

                    I'm actually thinking about painting it back to the original golden color or maybe a matte color, not really decided yet. But the fender flares and the Watanabes sound really good. I'll keep that in mind.

                        No its fine, i love seeing other 280zx's around so I can get a feel. Well she was in better condition then mine is. And I also like the oem turbo wheels that she s130's came with like yours.
                        What did you do to yours?

                              How much did you pay for the L28et?
                              That same day that we turned it on, I took it for a spin around the block, felt as if I was loosing my virginity, thats how badass it was, even tho it was loud as hell, and the shifter boot was m.i.a. And the rear shocks are busted out. I still loved it lol.

                              Lol I will. Probably run a couple of polls to make decisions on for the s130. (Im so undecisive, its actually sad.)
