    Dayuum. I knew I shouldn't have come in here. Being the die hard Z fan that I am I can hardly contain myself haha. That widebody makes that 240 look mean as hell.

    I freaking LOVE these cars, too!

    Whoooooooooooooooo!!

    The Z family is the reason I was broke for the longest time. My Z32 was a money grubbing whore, but damnit I loved her way too much. Then we had my dads Z31 too we always had to work on.

    My friend is just starting on a convertible Z32 TT project. I've had two S30's and one is still local owned by Sergio and I love that car it was my first turbo car. Other one is owned by this ******* in Florida haha. I would definitely like to do an RB25det car in the not too distant future

    Live out my dream for me then haha. I could never get the fundage up for it being a college student and all so I had to sell it. Putting an RB engine in a Z32 makes it soo well balanced instead of being like a 70 30 weight ratio car it becomes like a 55 45.

    i'm trying to get her to do a RB26DETT but they are considering other options as well. Personally i think RB will be sick.


    My old car that Sergio has , had a RB20DET setup in there and he has it running right now and I hear its pretty sick. used to be Nate (Ran's) car.
    I also thought a supercharged Nissan V8 would be nice

    Still thinkin about it!

    I haven't had a chance to talk to my bro on the phone and ask what he thinks.

    Considering he sold the RB25-280Z to my best friend, I'm sure he wouldn't mind playing with a Z that he knows is still family-owned. lol

    ^_^

    2JZ or RB26? The 26 is so damn expensive, though. >_<

    Cool Pics Lex. That wide body z is sick. I have a 1970 240z shell that is decent for a radical project. $200.00 no motor. The rear quater panels have already been flared 3 inches.

    I've been surfin' Hybridz.org recently, thinkin' about picking up a Z for a daily, and then eventually either buying a L28ET or turbo'ing the L28 in it..

    I've seen alot of people style their Z after the renowned "Devil Z" from the anime "Wangan Midnight"...basically, a Wangan highway-racing version of Initial D...

    The color of this particular one I found on Hybrid Z really caught my eye, though.

    My old Z. Out of 88 cars i've owned, I miss this one the most. RB20, full steel bodywork. Wish I never got rid of it. Wasn't amazingly fast, but with the exhaust dumping right out of the downpipe, damm it sounded mean.

    Also check out www.Bryanf.com. The Yellow Fever 510. Turbo Rotary, Jaguar rear end and the list goes on and on. Also the old Harry Blazer 510, twin turbo V6. Sill around Atlanta too.
