Looks very mean, I think the louvres suit the look. -
Very pristine car. What is the significance of "Rolex" to you? -
Great action shot! -
Very lovely Z432. -
Awesome shot! -
FANTASTIC! -
Oh, only the grey Z. You are beginning to sound like you're taking it for granted! Thanks for sharing the Tokyo Auto Salon pictures. I really like that roadster and the blue Z (is that the same one we discussed a while ago?). I can't say I like many of the others though!

Jason, 510 (rally car) is in it. As is the 240ZG, and the Fairlady 2000 Roadster. There was a website with all the cars in the game but I don't have it anymore. I'M PUMPED TOO!!

I know this thread is old, but here's something on Yahoo Auctions Japan that could be of interest to some: http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f29909590 AV Translator gave me a few interesting snippets: "It is low travelling of miracle! Performance vehicle of S30Z western police! Real thing! The capital city high, the patrol car uniting the formation, will white パト of S30Z one probably know the fact that it is running with that famous ending scene which travels?" "1978 type travelling 8832 km 1 owner, it is genuine actual travelling!" "About 1 year half the genuine color (it is the feeling where just a little cream color enters into white) all it painted before, but as to before the that is picture 1, it was white パト specification. Picture 2 is the present form." (I'm guessing it no longer has all the police decals?) Hmmm?

Start at 600? Geez! I think you could start at a fair bit less than that. Use wet sand paper too. And take pictures (before and after)! So you can show off your work here afterwards.

Pictures of tool kit restoration
-
From the album: Tool Kit
I also polished the rest of my tools, and cleaned up the vinyl bag as best I could. The result is a pretty decent tool kit. Certainly not like new, but a thousand times better than before. Am I missing any tools? -

Finally they are painted. Colour is similar to original but I think a little lighter. It's hard to tell in this photo though. -

Now in primer. -

After rust converter, sand paper and a whole lot of elbow grease, the chocks were returned to bare metal. -

After paint stripper, a lot more rust than expected came out. I applied rust converter to this before sanding. -

I started cleaning them with hot water, but soon the paint just started to peel off, so I decided to go the whole hog instead. -
Thank you Chris, Mike and Lance. I think I will paint the "Yuasa" text and the caps in yellow Yes Chris, it is a 1:12 ZG model I am making (but not die-cast, Prox). Very high level of detail as you can see! I made a few mistakes with the engine though, I'm not very happy with some of it. Disappointingly, there are no stickers included in the kit - at all. That just means I have to paint on all the labels and decals (ugh) such as the oil filter and the battery. I haven't done the air filter yet. Very nice kit otherwise! Thanks guys again for the great response

WHOA, shiney

Thankyou Chris! Would you happen to know what colours the battery is? I believe it was black, but what about the YUASA text etc.? (here is a picture of the engine!)

Hello, I am still making that 240ZG model but am having trouble finding a picture of an original battery. The closest I got was a thread by kats ( http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13095&page=1 ) but still no dice. Does anyone know what they looked like, or even better have a picture of one? I would much appreciate it

Nope, search is not case sensitive

The rear wheels are a bit wide!!
