whats up guys i just got registered here not too long ago but i have been reading some of the posts and u guys have already helped me alot thanx. ne way i got my 280zx a couple of weeks ago for 500 bucks, now that i have it i want to do a couple of things to it some being the fact that i want to add on some body pieces like a body kit. so far i ve been unsuccessful in finding a site that carries z stuff other than the z store.com if you guys could fill me in with some more info i'd like that a lot just email to at fivewheelspeedster4200869@hotmail.com thanx

 

you should try blackdragonauto.com i believe it is, they send you free catalogs they got like everything body wise. but teh zstore has a great selection to. and for performance stuff theres a few places, pallnet has a site arizonazcar.com thezstore.com most of the stuff you can find with a search on google. and welcome to the site, you should make your own thread introducing yourself and the car and post some pictures.

thanx a lot snwbrder i really appreciate it oh by the way of pictures i dont really have a way to do those right yet and that really sucks
srry

do you kno of ne other sites that have a good selection of body kits because a lot of the z cars i have seen have very similar body kits and that is one thing that i really hate to have something that some one already has...
i want to be unique

im also looking for some aftermarket tail lights
oh yeah found another site mjpauto.com it is in the UK but it a pretty good site for body and performance

srry bout that entropy31

 

please do not post multiple consecutive posts. please use the Edit function.

thank you.

 

lol, **** bastige for real. hahaha. meh

you can always try the classifieds of other forums like hybridz.org zcar.com and classiczcars.com . that and...... ebaymotors..... lol. the only place i know of and that i visit. as for unique, your going to have to learn japanese if you want unique and order over seas. the car you own never got really popular body mods support in the USA. so everyones is going to look the same.

 

man that really sucks thanx ne way

OH YEAH
does ne body know where to find aftermarket tail lights i have googled it many times i just cant find them for a 83 280zx

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

 

No, nobody makes aftermarket tail lights for our cars. You'll have to fabricate your own if you want to change them.

 

dang im guessin that the best approach to that would to fill in the old tail light spots with sheet metal or something and then maybe go with a different tail light maybe a corvette or supra style or something.
would a 300zx aftermarket lights look good in place of it? if you can guys hit me back with some opinions...

 

they might look good, but fitting them in there would be the challenge. better off getting creative and making your own tail light setup than trying to retro fit other tail lights in there.

 

just my two cents...


I used to own a couple 280s and I always thought the VW Scirocco 1 Black tail lights would look pretty good on them.

here's a couple pics of what i'm talking about.

 

thanx goofyz those tail lights would look good i talked to another member here warren and he said that it took him over 135 hours just to get his 05 mustang lights in. my dads good in body work i was thinking that maybe he could help me. ne way guyz thanx for all the input if i get it done i will have to try and post picks of it soon.

what about aftermarket hoods or would the best bet on that be to just to cut holes in the hood and add a functional hood scoop from somewhere

 

i do believe they actually make hoods, well they do for the S30 at least. try to search ive never really looked, only see cowl hoods or lighter hoods. please dont put a scoop on yuor hood. your are already vented. if not you can find one.
