Project Wide Arch - UK - TT
Granted, this is not the most attractive vehicle in the world, but the colour is lovely. It has a very subtle cyan flip in it which will give a much nicer gloss and sheen and will certainly accentuate the curves of your particular car. Even when the sun isn't on it, it still has a lovely sheen. When the sun hits it, this colour really pops. If any of the above cars were painted that colour, they would look drastically more appealing IMO.

None of them, that Mercedes sapphire grey I showed you a few days ago is far nicer than any of those greys IMO. It's a colour that has a whole lot more 'life' than the greys posted. With all the curves on your car, you need something to shimmer and pop a little. The greys above are a little lifeless IMO. Nice, but not as nice as Sapphire Grey.

Life on Mars
Agreed, Space exploration fascinates me too. One of my father's closest friends is one of the lead scientists for the Canadian Space Weather research centre and some of the conversations I've had with him have been some of the most fascinating I've ever had. I have yet to visit the NASA Space Center at Cape Kennedy yet, but I will do some day. I dearly hope that in my lifetime, we see man physically on Mars, what an awesome achievement and the more that Curiosity digs, the more 'mind blown' things come out from NASA.

That looks absolutely hideous. What a mess of ugly shapes and nastiness. I'm glad things like that are becoming few and far between.

The excitement of been a new 300zx owner
I've always loved the stock bodied Z32s. I find that Nissan got it spot-on, or almost spot-on visually straight out of the box. Mine's gone through a few minor changes over the years, but essentially it's still a fairly stock car to look at and I've gone to great lengths to maintain that, moreso in recent years. I love the OEM+ approach. I've never been a fan of big spoilers and fibreglass bodykits. The Z has a very graceful simplistic design and putting on huge spoilers and all sorts of other things ruins it. Mechanically however there are loads of things you an do to improve it if you go for high quality well made products. The Z32 is individual enough without the need to paint it lurid colours and graft half a boat to it.

Very proud new owner SWB SLICKTOP MANUAL pearl comming from Japan!
For the photos posted on here, I didn't hold much hope of the paint being very good as it seems like all they did was mask off the windows and wheels. At least you have the solid base for a project, but always thought that it would have had a poor paint job judging by what I saw. Sorry to hear it's not what you expected.

White UK 300 on eBay
They look very similar except the rear wheels on UK cars have a slight concave design. To the untrained eye, someone without knowledge mighten not notice the difference at a glance. I've seen people put the wheels on back to front, the wrong sides (yes they're handed also), so just check that. If you're unsure, post a photo of both sides from an off-centre view.

White UK 300 on eBay
Re : the wheels, are you sure someone hasn't just put one front wheel on the rear....or replaced a rear with a front or JDM spec wheel (same as UK front wheels). There's an inch difference in width. I doubt it sits 20cm further in, that's very nearly the length of a ruler. I guess you meant 20mm? An inch is around 20mm.

White UK 300 breaking
Bit of an odd request I know, but do you have the driver side windscreen wiper with the little spoiler on it?

Old Millfieldians classic car rally. A perfect day for it. My Z ran absolutely beautifully and so nice to finally see the back of those awful Tein S-Tech springs. They're in reverse order, but we ended up at the Millfield polo match and did a parade lap around the field. Had my dear old father as navigator. Got us lost twice! Here's a selection of some of the wonderful cars taking part. I didn't capture all of therm, there were about 35 in total ranging from my old Z all the way up to a Laferrari!- IoW Classic Car Show 15 - 16 Sep 2018
Quite interested in this actually. I take it you're going Mike?- Wiring loom for sale.... DONT BUY IT !
You're missing a decimal place there dude. £1.74 and I'm not rounding it up.- Simply Japanese 2018
You can always turn the volume down or change the exhaust.- Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
You'll be fine assuming your wheels have rebates.- Making a start in 2018.
Those are next on my list. My Tein springs were so damn firm that I got little roll but at the expense of an uncomfortable ride. I have the comfort back, but need to sort the roll!- Making a start in 2018.
I must say, I'm very impressed with MeisterR coilovers. I now have them on my Z and the car glides over rough surfaces rather than bangs and crashes over them. The only issue it's show is that I am now in dire need of some updated anti roll bars! :lol:- Does anyone have these wheels, need some help deciding between Rota style and 5 spoke

I'd also keep an eye out on high quality forged wheels rather than a new set of cheap fake wheels. Although they need a mild refurb, these are a bargain for example. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RIVERSIDE-TRAFFICSTAR-RTM-19-ALLOY-WHEELS-GOOD-TYRES-8-5J-9-5J-SUPRA-RX7-350Z/112712404211?fits=Car+Make%3AToyota%7CModel%3ASupra&hash=item1a3e2eccf3:g:t~IAAOSwJtdaQjUt- Does anyone have these wheels, need some help deciding between Rota style and 5 spoke
Rota....eeoooww. The DARE wheels look like OZ wheels. I guess they're not real split rims?- Z1 Street FUCA
Selling these as I'm going back to stock upper arms with a shim kit. These will be coming off in the next few weeks. I don't have any photos of mine, but they're in decent condition and will be thoroughly cleaned prior to shipping. One of the PU bushes as a little bit of play in it, but could probably just do with being re-seated. Bush kits can be bought through Z1 for not a lot. These have covered about 5,000 miles max. New, these are $388, with shipping and tax, you're looking around $500 (approx. £380). All I want for these is £99 which includes shipping. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-motorsports-300zx-adjustable-front-upper-control-arms-fuca-p-6190.html- Bank holiday Monday
I'm taking the Z out shortly. :) Lovely day here in sunny Somerset. :) - Went on a little cruise yesterday.
