I thought you S130 guys might find this interesting. I know a few people were wondering what a 280ZX would look like with ZGs

 

Dayamn Gina!

Oh... what's that? It's a 2+2?!?! huh...

 

That guy has a site with his whole build of that car, lotsa good pics on it. Built for drifting.

 

Link?
Id like to see what is needed for ZG's to work on an S130. Only thing is I dont have a set to try it out.

 

man i need those flares so i can lower my car down. those boyds stick out to far to lower mine without mods

 

I forget where I found the link, but everything on it is in Japanese. Ill try to find it right now.

 

I just found it...

I like it, but I don't need it. I've got tuckage

 

the ZG's look better on the 280zx then they do on the 240

 

Daaaayyyuuuummmm, howd i miss this thread, thats sick. 2+2 though. . . ehh. Too bad. Still sick though. . . . but its a 2+2

 

I share your sentiment

 

LIAR!!!!! take that back....

 

I think flares of that sort kill the lines on the S30. It's just such a smooth body that when you break it up with big, protruding fender flares it looks kind of funny. Atleast on a street car. The 280zx was designed with bigger flares to begin with so making them a little wider doesnt really offset anything.

Of course I also happen to think that the regular 240Z is a much better looking car then the 240ZG. Sure the ZG looks a little more aerodynamic, but that doesnt make it look any better. Sometimes, things being rare offers the illusion that it is better

 

Damn straight!!

Id like to see more S130's with ZG's. Only thing is it will take a huge wheel to fill them out. Thats why Im waitng till I have enough power to back up a set of 9.5 inch Watanabes before I get a set ZG's.

This page has little bit of info..

Haha, this is one of the worst translations i have ever read.
"Because love car R32 is lost [dori] Z which becomes to revive (as for truth the part taking car) 20,000 Yen
Here the remodelling GS130 (restore) with distance to remodelling official recognition, we would like to keep introducing the point."

WHA?!

 

Wow, this guy did a nice job. Wish i could slap him though for the teeny tiny ricer wing he put on it. Check out this page which has a vid of him drifting the . . .ugh, 2+2.

so if i order it from msa.. it will fit? or do i have to grind it to fit?? becasue on there site.. its from a 70 to 78 or something like that..

 

RB25...

That was the third engine swap I counted before I couldn't scroll through anymore pages of his site...


Rod.

 

Indeed... I've been through 303 pages of his site... sheesh! Engine after engine.... suspension after suspension... rims style after rims style... That hood and front airdam have been worked a number of times too.

 

I just want to make sure that this guy used regular S30 ZG flares and made them work on the S130? I might be ordering some flares from MSA if this is the case. It turns out my new wheels are actually 17x10 in the back and I may need flares to make them work.

Thanks

 

it doesnt fit but any body shop should be able to make it fit...

 

Glad to see the topic of ZGs on a S130 again, Ive asked a million times if its ever been done by any one in America on HybridZ with no luck, looks like one of us has to bite the bullet and buy a set and hope they mount good. But heck I really wont mind if the 16x10 -25mm offset wheels im buying stick out a bit lol. I love that Z though, everything about it: the front air dam(anyone know what company made it?), the wheels, the flares, the drifting...everything but the 2+2 lol. Nice to see the Japaneses have lots of S130 love!

PS check it out on page 11, he buys coilovers! maybe a manufacturer in Japan makes S130 coilovers!

BTW wheres the vid I want to see the 2+2 sliding!

 

well...I am getting a 280zx here soon...needs body work anyways....suppose I should try the flares?

 

yeah... I plan to have it proffesionally done, Im not one to mess with body work... atleast not on my own car haha

 

ditto^^^^ but on the S30 liek its supposed to be, ive seen flares added on, you have to cut out the outer and inner well bend them together and fold them over and tack weld them so the flares are actually functional... yeah thats professional work right there.
