Pic request. JDM 240z's

[Diseazd]

My father has 5 z's and I am a BMW fan, but I plan on doing a 240 and a 510 in the near future. I will most likely be doing SR swaps in both.

I want to see some pix of nice examples of JDM styling. Preferably with Watanabes. I am posting pix of my favorite Z, but I don't like the G-nose. Color, wheels and flares are on point though. Wish I could afford to have an engine bay like this one, but I like SR's anyway. I built a 268 RWHP silvia. Pix also included. I painted that car Ducatti racing grey (it's not primer)

Guy,

You propose a very interesting request in that your idea of "JDM styling" may take various different meanings. I might comment that a true JDM was not a 240Z but rather a Fairlady Z. Watanabee wheels were quite period correct. I would suggest contacting Hosomi-san http://www.datsunspirit.com/ for an engine like your HS30-H example. Nice car, isn't it? Of course, there is nothing wrong with a S30 racing look such as a PS30 or PS30-SB. I could see how one might use a front spook like your picture, but a period correct spook is much different. Much less pronounced. Rear spoilers are common as well as the flairs. Here from my library.

You may want to contact Carl Beck for some help on that as well. Try Beck@ Becksystems.com He might have more info then Wenzell. I think the pics that Chris posted may be from his website. Good Luck you do great work.

That ITB setup on the first Fairlady looks incredible.

[HS30-H]

I might comment that a true JDM was not a 240Z but rather a Fairlady Z.

But that would be forgetting the Fairlady 240Z ( 'HS30' ), Fairlady 240Z-L ( 'HS30-S' ) or Fairlady 240ZG ( 'HS30-H' ) models.

I think the thread title would probably be better if it were "Pic request, JDM S30-series Zs"

.....for an engine like your HS30-H example. Nice car, isn't it?

That ITB setup on the first Fairlady looks incredible.

It isn't a Fairlady, and it isn't an HS30-H either. Look again. That's an LHD car.

You do irony now too, then?

Diseazd,

Take a look at this site's own Gallery section for LOTS of pics of Japanese home market S30-series Z cars ( of all denominations ). In particular, try a search for 'Sagamiko' in the 'Events' section.

Here's a link to some: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=551

How hard is that DOHC motor to come by?
