Looks quite a bit different from when it was here. These photos were taken before de-registration in Japan. Strange looking back at these.

 

It's only by these that I realised what an awful stance it had! Got good money for those Rays wheels then when I fitted my Advans.

 

 

 

Compare it to now, it looks quite a bit different.

You deffo chose a good one....looked awesome then even without your subtle mods..

You have taken a good example Si and made it even better,well done mate:bow:

Cheers guys. :D

I've gotta say Si - that is one hell of a difference! :bow:

looks great you can see the small changes that mean so much one question were did you get the white rear indicators that i see on yours and some of the other club cars

Thanks Gary/Isaac. Gary, I think you're referring to the 99-spec rear lights. These lights were only fitted to post 98 model Z32s in Japan. A lot of people buy them as an upgrade as they freshen up and modernise the rear end. IMO, it's one of the best modifications you can do to the arse of a Z32. Replacing the rear lights and centre panel with 99-spec rears was one of the first things I did to mine.

 

For a cheap option, you can pull the lights apart and replace the amber defuser with a clear one, but you can't beat the look of the 99 rear lights. They are much more crisp and fresh than even modified originals.

 

the centre panel looks the same as mine so would you get away with just upgrading the two outside panels

You could, but for the cost, I'd replace. Originals don't come with the chromed bezels and the plastic won't have the same level of crispness as new stuff. I'm just a but anal when it comes to that! :rofl:

The '300ZX' is red on the 99 aswell is'nt it Si?

Yup, sure is. Stock is like a silvery-grey.

Since Steve put up a before/after shot of his interior, I'll do the same too. ;)

 

Was very clean to start with Si - but one hell of a lot better now :D :bow:

Thanks. :) It's one of the reasons I believed the mileage. The interior had absolutely no wear on it at all. Driver's bolster was still firm and unworn. Was almost a shame to retrim, but, the tweed had to go!

A complete transformation and a credit to you Si :bow::bow::bow:

 

A beautiful unmolested and cherished zed!

TWEED... MY EYES THEY BURn

Looks perfect Si youve done a fantastic job.

 

You can start on mine soon if you like :D
