I think you'll all agree the whole retro styling come back for car manufacturers has been big over the last few years. Cars like the new Mustang, Fords new GT40, and recently I've seen magazines showing off a retro concept Lamborghini Miura that looks kick arse. Well I was thinking about this in regards to the look of the 350Z even though it is a nice looking car it's a real shame the Japs did'nt go down the retro path on the 350Z. Perhaps there are issues with the apparent really bad aerodynamics in the S30 as I've recently read on a hybridZ thread but I'm sure they could have worked more closely around the original S30 styling. Having said all that I was admiring the li…

Well, I want to get one for my rear hatch window. They look extremely nice and should keep the cabins temps down when parked. How much do these aluminum louvers weigh? Does anyone have the side window louvers? I am thinking that I might get a pair but am not sure how they look. Any one got a Z with these side window ones on that have a link?

Newly Painted 280Z 1 2 3

Hi All, Just finished painting and re-assembling my 1978 Black Pearl 280Z. It doesn't really qualify as a Black Pearl anymore because I used 2005 Nissan Altima, (Super Black) for my paint. But the car still has the original paint sticker with the 638 number. The car was an Arizona desert car which means rust was very minimal and I'm aware of all the places it can be a problem. I went through the entire vehicle but the body/painting work took 75% of the time involved which is why I'm posting it in this section. I've been a member for a little over a year now and have read hundreds and hundreds of posts while completing this task. The entire suspension is new with t…

Help! I have purchased a pressurized sandblaster from harbor freight and I cant get it to work consistently. I also have been using black beauty media (fine) and it was working great but now all I get is air from the tip. My thought was some sort of clog but when I take it apart, the media poors from the bottom. I am not sure where the hang up is. Does anyone have any advice. I have also tried yelling at it and kicking it but no luck. Carl ( I am trying to clean up my series one gas tank that has 30 plus years of crud adhered to it.)

Does anyone have an opinion on the best rust stopper out there? Seems POR15 has a good reputation, but I recently received a new Eastwood catalog and their stuff looks pretty good to. Thought I would see if anyones had success or experience with either. Thanks. Bob

I've looked through several of the posts and even did a search for rust above and below around the windshield. Either I'm blind, stupid or own the only 2 ZX's in the USA with rust in these areas. The 80 only has one spot on the panel that the windshield wipers go through, and the 83 is much worse with rust there and right above the windshield. It (the 83) appears that it was patched with fiberglass or bondo (haven't removed the paint yet) and was wondering if anybody on here has fixed such a problem. Is there a skin available for this area or do you have to have one fab'd? I would appreciate any help or advice anybody could give. A friend of mine put it on a lift a…
