Hi

 

Chris Rees from Japanese Performance magazine here.

 

We're doing a profile on the 300ZX R32 for the magazine and we need to find a car to photograph in the studio - can anyone help?

 

What we're looking for:

 

* A standard, original 300ZX or Fairlady Z in immaculate condition (can be either UK or JDM spec)

* A good strong colour like red, blue or yellow, but not black

* Someone who can take a full weekday off and bring the car to the studio at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu

 

What you get in return:

 

* Your car in Japanese Performance magazine

* Fuel expenses

* A CD-ROM of the photo shoot

* Free access to the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu on the day

 

We're looking to do the shoot within the next 2-3 weeks or so.

 

Do you think you can help? Please get in touch!

 

Cheers

Shame they want a standard Zed, with my nice new shiny yellow paint and all that, but alas it's a Wings west/ stillen hybrid!

Joel yours is proberbly the most stock looking apart from the wheels, its bright red too, why dont you give it a go?

So many gags, so little time!

hehe :rofl:

right to put the monkey's straight, im sure in the flesh it looks great, i said it dont look to shiny on pics, which is why im guessing the guy doesnt want that sort of color for the mag

 

so read my posts before passing comments

 

mine would also look dull in pics

Not being bias, but I think any of the pearls would look great. Since the pearls glow in the sunlight, they'll look pretty mad under intense artificial lighting in a studio. Whether it's mine or not, any pearl under that amount of light would look strong.

 

Thanks for the support guys. I am humbled. Personally don't think it's what they are looking for, but nice to know people wouldn't mind seeing it in the mad.

 

Fingers crossed erh! hehe :)

I am humbled.

 

lol I find that difficult to believe ;) If it's true this should be made a sticky! :D

if my car was a bit more dent free then id defo be up for this

 

wink wink ;)

in the mad :confused: :rofl:

 

BTW, never said it was a shit car, just incase people dont read my previous post's

Mag...lol Not sure where mad came from....my bad week I guess! :rofl:

Daves_zed gets my vote. :duffer:

Although si's would look better in the pics, It would be great to have a 99 spec such as Craig david's represent the Z32. didn't clarkson refer to it as an "80's Datsun" in the hot metal DVD after gio kicks everyone's ass? Just a thought as the our beloved z's should be represented as a 90's sportscar which carries on well into the noughties. I've seen some lovely 94-95 stock z's on here too, can't remember who they are though.

Daves_zed gets my vote. :duffer:

Si's is a great looking, clean example but it seems the brief may rule it out. If Tim's is too dark then Dave's but would also be a great choice. It's a fantastic looker with a red that really glows when the light hits it. Also, the attention to detail that's gone into it would be a boon.

Just seen this :rolleyes: ;)

 

Thank you for the compliment, but Eliza doesn't look as good these days! In fact she really needs a full re-spray to bring her back to her former glory! :cool:

Looks like I have to get cleaning! ;)

:headvswal Wrong colour.......bugger :headvswal

Don't worry, they liked white enough to want to use my car ;)

I think Macca should put his Z forward and just pretend it's standard on the day! :tongue: ;)

Glad to hear they're using yours Si - can't think of a better car to use for the job IMHO.

Looks like I have to get cleaning! ;)

 

:cool:

:hyper: Well done Si ;)

Nice one Si :bow:

 

Let us all know when the mag is out........

 

......not that you'd forget to mention it ;)

Thanks guys. Photo shoot is penned in for 21st/22nd of this month AGW. 6 page buying guide on the Z32. Hopefully the editor will put the 300zx.co.uk and 300zxclub.com links in the featurette. :)

your car does deserve it !
