Very Nice. Congrats

 

very nice. I admire your dedication. Post some more pics of your car and the other Z. Maybe some engine bay shots.

 

WOW kit looks good. I thought i disliked this kit due to the bolt/rivet look of the fenders. Car looks great. Congrats and sorry to hear about your engine.

 

Not a fan of the wheels but great kit. Let's see a big picture!

 

yep, i hate the wheels too and i usually hate that kit but damn that how a V3 kit should be done!! hot, i would definitely rock that. nice job!!

 

Nice Set-up.

 

not a fan of the vielside byt i thinku pulled it off pretty well..

engine bay shots please!!

 

Just added links to bigger pics.. see first post above

 

looking good..are there many z's in SA?

 

Yeah,

There are a few. We have about 40 supercharge 350Z's and 5 Twin Turbo Z's.
We have lots of Subaru's and Honda's with some hectic mods. I would say that my Z is the most customised Z in SA.
We have lots of hot cars in SA. The only downfall is that you have to pay your *** off to mod a car here. Prices have come down though.
To give you an example my car with mods is worth 120000 US Dollars in SA. I am sure you can build a sick Z with that money if you in the US.

I always need accessories and parts. Do you guys know of any reputable companies that will export parts to SA. I am looking for forged internals urgently.

 

definitelty a nice car man.... we've shipped our VQ race motors for a couple of drag teams down there.

 

where do you get all this money from?

 

blood diamonds

 

License plate reads "Nasty WP" = Nasty white person?

Sick looking Z, good job.

 

Nasty Wide ***** maybe......

I don't really like that kit, but your car w/ that kit and the color looks pretty damn good.

 

i normally dont like the urnt orange but yours looks great nice job

 

Cool.

 

Post some pics of the inside.
