Anyone have a CAD drawing of an S30?

Here's THE BEST model I have ever seen of a Datsun Roadster. This is EXACTLY what I am looking for in the 240z.

I contacted this guy about building us a model, but, his price is in the thousands.

Mark,

With regards to Z aerodynamics, you may want to check in over at HybridZ! They have been doing some wind tunnel testing on our favorite cars. Just thought it could be helpful to find out what they have discovered.

Hi Mike,

I have been wanting to create one for over a year but can't justify the time involved yet. I studied this field at Uni but didn't get to develop my skills too much further. I'd really like to be good at this stuff but it requires alot of research tutorials and texture creation.

Perhaps ask one of the guys here: http://www.cg-cars.com/ in the forums if they would like to model a 240z? I know someone created a C10. You never know one of those guys might do it just for the challenge?

One day I'll get around to doing this as I'd like to experiment with different designs to see how my own vision of the perfect Zcar would look.

Cheers,

:classic:

I've seen 3 or 4 really good looking S30 3d models on various 3d forums a while ago, but cant remember where. I'll have to go looking for them again.

A member here was working on a 240Z model,

Thead got closed after being inactive for 12 months. Don't know what happened to it.

His homepage is at http://www.geocities.com/jasonparuta/ maybe someon could send him an email and ask about it.

[Mike]

Oh, I know Jason. I'll send him an email. Thanks for the connection!

Any luck?

No luck at all... I sent Jason two emails and he hasn't responded. I'd really like to create a car in 2nd Life...

This is an old thread but in case anyone else runs across it I notice sketchup drawings are now available for the Z car. Google finds them with 240Z sketchup. There is a blue one and a red one, I don't know how they might be different other than color and I don't know if sketchup is considered cad. I can't edit either the blue or red one but I can add to them, I think that is because they were saved as models.
