went to the ZCCA show this weekend in carson and for me the highlight of the event was seeing the 3 280ZXs from japans ultimate Z club.. oh my gawd... all three had RB engines in them from the RB25 to the RB26DETT.. also the rear suspension were modifies as well.. one had the rear suspension from a Z32 and another from a Skyline R32... heres a few pics of them.. and check out the flares on thease cars... just awsome... and yes they are the best 280ZXs on the planet...



more pics on my cars page on page 6

 

ICICE ... where is your car? Its just as clean as those...

 

you shoulda seen the Z31 200ZX's they had there.. one was the stock 200ZX with the RB20DET and one with a RB26DETT..

 

I've been looking for pics of an RB26 in a 280zx. Its sick. Now i just gotta find a 280zx with an SR20 in it. If you've see or seen one let me know. I haven't really been looking much so don't laugh at me.

 

Nice pics, haha, I talked to the guy with the black Z31 and it turns out he lives in the same prefecture as my parents do! That was pretty cool. All of the guys in that Z club were friendly, met 4 of them. And your car looked awesome at the show btw.

thanks john.. i was hopin id see your car at the show... yeah those guys were really cool.. they wernt like top secret about thier cars at all.. took me on a lil tour of thier cars and pointed out the mods they did to thier cars.. i really liked the baby blue one with the rb25 in it.. his flares looked great... it was worth the trip to so cal just to see those 3 280ZXs...

 

Wow RB powerd Z31's in the US let alone socal? thats awsome. They look great. I love the black on black with black tinted windows...

 

Does anyone know where to get a fender flare job like that gold/champagne 280ZX on top? Particularly in CA, near the Bay Area. Are there ready-made fender flare kits available?

 

were you in carson city nv? i dont live too far from there. if you were i wish i would have kwon of it i would have gone.

 

those flares were custom made. i liked the blue ones flares not too dramatic but still very clean lines..

the show was held in carson in LA near long beach..

 

Funny thing I knew about that gold zx about a year back. I got two pics of it in a warehouse with a couple more z's around it. I was gonna show them but can't figure out how to post pics on these dang forums hehe oh well at least icice put them out.

 

do you have a close up shot of the badge on the champagne car. the emblem looks like a shield shape and am curious to see what it looks like.

 

try again houston

 

what's up with the steering wheel that says datsun on it if it's from japan. I believe Nissan has always been caled nissan over in japan. I just find that a little wierd

 

its kinda funny how in japan they want thier cars to look like the american version and how over here in the US we want out cars to look like the japanese versions... i guess thats why the guy from japan put the datsun cap on his steering wheel and he also took off his fender mirrors and put them on the doors just like the US versions..

 

they are the sickest Z's ever along with yours how do you put the rb20 or rb25 in this car i would love to fit one right on in in ther a page out ther that shows the mods

 

Love those flared guards, that's what i wanted to do to my 280. I got a pretty tidy one with low k's and was rebuilt 17 years ago by a race company, similar mags to those ones as well. tidy inside and out (haven't got any inside shots though)



stroked, bored, ported, etc etc, having fuel issues at the moment but once sorted should be nice and quick not quite as quick as those rb26'ers up there but quick enough

That's really nice. I'd be interested to hear what's been done to the motor and drive line.

 

i would to .....there is a beat zx here in this town .....under the hood is a built motor from bob sharp raceing{i think}.the valve cover says bob sharp i think..it is a inline 6 ...it looks diff from are motors ..i have been trying to get a pic of it so mabe someone could tell me a little about ...the kid that owns it is cool but i know the guy that sent the motor to cal to have it built he spent alot of money to get that motor done and then just gave up on the body .the car sat for a long time after that....then he sold it cheap i will get a pic of this motor and post it .someday soooooooooon...i would like to know more about it ...

 

where did that front clip come from ????????
This is the second one that i have seen ......I LIKE IT ALOT
The vents under the hood look soooooooooo SICK

 

It appears to be the Bomex front bumper. Offhand, it's the only one I'd seen those vents on.

 

not sure where it came from but have seen similar ones since then, and yeah it's my fave out of all the front bars i've seen also. I was about to buy one for my old 280 when i found this car with the exact same one on it, strange irony but i was happy
what's been done... hmm
nismo head, nismo suspension. cyl's bored to 88.5 from memory, stroked with ld28 crank, tomoe pistons, lots of other bits and pieces, i'm trying to upgrade the fuel system at the moment as it uses way too much fuel for not enough performance, and what with fuel going up in price i can't afford to do it anymore. all original interior in smicko condition, paint is tidy, engine is tidy with chrome rocker cover, looks sharp. taking it to a concourse on sunday, hopefully i go alright

What kind of gauges are those, they look nice for some reason...like the black dash, much more than the POOP BROWN i got~!

 

those are DELPHI gauges.. theyre even tighter in person.. when the car was off they were pitch black and looked like black glass.. he turns the car on and they all light up... very nice...

 

Very Sexy!
