Just been looking through some pictures I have taken along the way, had her 3 years now, but was working away for about a year of that, breif history : I bought her, quite cluelessly as I didn't know Zeds then, with apparently a crackered turbo, smoking alot from one side, turned out to a rather large hole in piston no. 4, so it's been a graft, but lots of fun and learning re-building her, also pretty much everything had been broken or bodged, well that's where my OCD came in and worked a treat! Manual conversion too, everything done by me and my Dad... She's all lovely now, just thought I'd share some pics from the years, couldn't have done it without you guys (and gals) help!!! And my Dad too, Poppa Tudor, he's a frickin genius...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The zeds a credit to you:thumbup: you have done a lot of work over the years as the pics show but I see its starting to get to you near the end:biggrin:

That car looks really great mate. Well done.

hahaha, yeah, cheers, that pic was actually because I felt the car was pulling my pants down and spanking my arse, it's symbolic.... haha

Excellent work, what colour is it now? I take it the first lot of pics it was pearl yellow and you had it resprayed a different yellow. Love the wheels too

 

Well done

Looks really good. Crying out for a spoiler. I do like yellow Z32s a lot. :)

i love that last pic with the 300zx lit up. i think i am going to have to do that.

Is my old PTU in that?

That looks stunning mate :cool3:

Cheerz

yeah funky, yer old PTU 'was' in that, but it gave up the ghost a couple of weeks back, may have been a loom problem at the time, but since fitting the new loom, and had to go back to my old PTU, happy days, but needing a series 2 PTU, no doubt, many thyanks for that pal... And the yellow is the colour I bought it as, apperantly it's called 'Daytona Yellow', kept it the same colour, got a paint shop to match it, just different cameras and different lighting i guess... And I am working on a spoiler, please prepare FunkySi to have a coronary, it's an N/A GTO spoiler, without the active aero crap on it, anyways, it cost me 5 quid off ebay, and if i ain't 1000000% happy with it, then it ain't happening, pics to follow.... thanks for the nice comments, and it is begging for a spoiler, if anyone feels the need to donate there 99' spec spoiler in perfectly good working order, or even brand new, to a good cause, then fire away :)

and doing the '300ZX' lit up at the back is pretty straight forward, if ya have the bits ya need and patience and knowledge.... i would gladly help you out if ya need it matey....

You'll wanna remove it once you see it on! They really don't suit the Z and look completely out of proportion. Give it a go though I guess.

 

Sorry to hear about the PTU. Worked fine for me and never had an issue. Hold on to it, it might have been the old loom.

Nice work mate, always interesting seeing a load of pictures along a timeline like that. :thumbup:

reet, well this was just messing about wiht it today after some slight fettling, it''s from an N/A, so non of that active-aero crap, like I said, only cost a fiver, can't even get 2 pints for that, so no big deal, and gives me something to mess about with, but doesn't look tooooo bad, but all comments, good or bad are appreciated..... Also, try and imagine the centre bit not being there, just the 2 outside supports, if any photoshop boffins are around, feel free, it was windy and wouldn't stay put for the photos without the moddle bit on, like i said, just a thought.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actually, even i am thinking it looks a bit gay, but all comments are welcome.......

I actually really like that. I think it fits in with the lines of the car pretty well. if it was body coloured it would look much better. Was considering doing this to mine when i seen the Silver one on here with one on, but then opted for a fiberglass replacement for the rubber one.

i'm with ya there matey, umming and arrring, need more advice!!!!

my dad syas 'ya blinging it up ya chav!', i want suttle, not corn or cheddar.....

Too much overhang, doesn't contour the car properly and the side bits have a point to them that just doesn't marry up with the car

 

The car looks really high off the ground with that underseal on it.

car looks really nice, love the rear centre illuminated 300zx , imo the rear spoiler without the middle part and of course in the same colour as the car would look quite good tbh . then again if you ever get tired of it,you can just bin it as it was basically free . nice car mate :w00t:

well, hmmmmm, what i might do, is, fettle it, so the parts i have trimmed, are bob on, i.e. filled, curved, and the dogs, then try it, and because i appreciate the funkster's oppinion so much, if it don't look right, could flog it, ready to fit to a Z32, for a slight profit, gives me something to do on a rainy day! must be someone out there with the same idea as me....

cheers pixas, everytime i look at the back of her, with the lights on in the dark, i do something very childish in my boy's breifs.....

good point funky, the front has blistein shockers on it, lowered, but not sure how much, rear is all original, all be it new (receipts and visual check shows new OEM shockers....) have thought about Car.Mad's skirts, but would they look daft with the OEM front bumper?
