I'm a big fan of the oem wheels too. Wish they did them in 17" or 18" though

I know a company based in the UK that may be able to replicate the OEM wheels and make them in 17 or 18.

 

I was actually talking to them a few months ago about making a pair of OEM rear wheels for the NSX but in 10" wide which they said they could do no problem.

Looking good there mate!

Yup; me too - I also remember seeing a pic of a US spec car with a nice set of deep-ish dish split rims, which were of similar pattern to the OEM wheels....:yes:

Yeah he's on here - Andy90Z32 or something like that lol :donatello:

Looking great mate but they are on the wrong sides you need to swap them around plus 25mm spacers on the front would improve the stance:thumbup1:

The wheels are ment to be fitted like this

Cheers Gary mate ,When i get my new rear tyres on,i will put the wheels back on the way they should be

Lookin good Tazz, you may not need to get it blown over? Obviously I haven't seen the paintwork up close, but when I had my valeting company, restoring red paintwork was kinda a speciality of ours. We had one customer with a Red GTO, roughly similar colour to a red Z and suffered from the usual problems with red cars, where the paintwork gets flat, no depth, not shiny, etc. All that took, was two rounds of Meguiars Step 1, 2 rounds of Step 2 and 2 rounds of Step 3, then finally some NXT Tech Wax to give it a super clean shine and some protection.

Around the tailgate window and just below the O/S/R quarter light some of the lacquer has lifted so I will get the sides done so it will be fixed,,my car needs a couple of odds and sods, like O/S window regulator,or motor as it sticks and makes a clicking sound, paint work touched up and drivers seat repaired as it has a tiny bit of wear on it apart from that the car is spot on but as I say mate it needs a few minor touches:cool3:

Just as nissan intended. Very Nice :yes:

 

Ive been tempted to putting mine back to stock a few times.

Don't you dare! If you want a stock Z, sell the thing of beauty you've got as it is, then buy a stock(ish) one and stock-ify it!

I have done the modified thing before with my calibra,This time I am going for the OE look,but where I can use later parts,like the 99,spec bumpers,spoilers,and at some point also a retrim,door mounted and rear three point seat belts,And also the manual gearbox conversion,and oval stainless exhaust,that is my plan so far,but knowing what i am like that will change further down the line.
