Who's Brandon? LOL I'm Justin.

But I'll be spending some time on here, just not much to add on my end yet.

My friend knows the owner of ZDriver.com so I'll have to speak with him regarding any apparel and what not, so we'll see.

Lots of parts in the making for the s30 and s130 crowd.

i'm not sure whose it is, it's the few pics of it I've seen online before I started to produce these for the US people.

I've got an extra g-nose here, it's waiting for a ZX to go on

lol, I don't want one anyways, it doesn't fit the look of my car, on top of the fact that I think it's too low XD

If I had the extra money. I would say I would take it. But alas...I don't at this time. Keep me in mind. Because I know I will get out of my rut eventually. I will keep you posted. Good luck with your little business.

Hope you guys don't mind if I hijack this argument about who did/didn't something, whether it is/isn't a knock off, jdm or other trivia, but it might be interesting to know the weight difference before and after. I"ve got a bad habit of stuffing to much crap under the hood, so any excuse to shed # is welcome, specially way out in front.
Also, when somebody at the factory screws up and one goes south, or somebody smacks one, I'll pay shipping here so ya can be rid of what's left.
I only need from the bottom of the bumper up....

I'm still making these if there's anymore interest in them, I just sold another 1 to a member recently and I'll be going to pick it up for him this week... just seeing if there's interest for more orders.

Price lowered to $400 local pick up in So Cal/$500 shipped in lower USA 48 states.

I hope to be in production of some other ZX parts here soon too, including hoods, hatches, wide body fenders, etc.

Here's some pics and info on 280zx g-nose... Bleach (moderator on here) will vouch for the great fitment and quality.

Just to update. If I do get working again here soon. I may start saving money for the G-nose bumper. I really do want it, and it will really go well with my Decepticon 280zx theme. I'll keep you posted.

I'm highly interested in one, and will be coming into some funds soon.

Origionally I was thinking of dome RB-R's, but I don't have anything mounted below my bumper and it looks very incomplete.

I'll be sure to contact you when I get the cash to go ahead and order, mate!

Also, do you happen to know a timeline for the pantera hatch for the s130? I'm interested in one of those, as well.

I think it's great that you are making the G-Nose. Personally I'm not a fan - I think it stretches the front out too much but as they say there is no accounting for taste I've been a S130 fan for a long time and we've been skiped over in the parts department in comaprison to the other Z cars so having a manufacture step up and make stuff for the S130 is awesome. And its simple - if you don't like the product or price you don't need to buy it.

I'd be interested in a rear wing something like MSA use to carry but is NLA.

G-nose, RBR, paint it silver and you'll have a nice looking 280zx!

Ahh....the infamous F-40 wing. I have one on my '82 slicktop. Check my signature. Unfortunately, it is a very hard wing to come by now. Hopefully somebody can make you one.

Haha. Yeah, maybe. But I'm sure you wouldn't want a twin rolling around. I think I'll go with black. Maybe a reverse 10th Ann. Red and Black. But my biggest hope was to get a Metallic Dark Green with Metallic Silver stripes. Gotta get the body straight, the dents out, the brakes fixed, etc.
