Default I love your Z32 too!



Matching rims. Great idea. Hmmmm, they say copying is the highest form of flattery.

Looks good with the 35th rims on it. Matches the shapes.

Or if you really want to hark back to where Fairlady badge came from with the little mid 60's Fairlady Roadster. Very cool.

Cool part of the Z clubs over this end of the world, when we have a Z meet, you'll get anything from the little Fairlady Roadster, 240z - 370z.
I picked up and started a '70 fairlady roadster 2 months ago. Doing full frame off. Having a blast working on it. Love it more than my z.

Torn between classic resto and resto-mod.

Car is clean. Love this era 300zx but never a fan of any of the 2+2 versions of the Z car. 280zx 2+2 down right ugly imo.

I'm absolutely in love with 240Z's. I'm even tempted to say I like a nicely restored 240 than the 350z (I hope my car didn't hear me say that).

I love the 240z & the Z32. The Z34, not so much.

Thanks bro. Maybe one day I'll pull the trigger on some Work Emotion Ultimates.

Ultimates are gorgeous, but still think 35th's look right.

Default Better to have a 2+2 than not own a 300ZX.

I have the 2+2 and even I prefer the 2-seater, however, I also have three daughters and a wife so practicality was necessary. Besides, with the back seat down, it is a longer 2-seater (alright, I'm making excuses now..)

Since all but one drive now and with the addition of an RX330, necessity has just become "impractical", hence my 350Z.

Eww.. those things are ugly lol, but practical with the additional seats. Try to find a Turbo 2+2 . I have always wanted a 280zx Turbo 5spd. Hard to find and the price vs condition hasn't always lined up for me. I bet it's fun to drive.

I liked those the 300zx body started to get a bit softer on the edges, but a nice looking car.
I hope it didn't catch fire??(Nissan had an injector recall/replacement). A friend had a white '87, I told him about the injector recall and he never got them replaced. Sure enough it eventually was destroyed by an engine fire..
