after looking at the photo again, I'm not completely sure if it's a 280Z or 280ZX. the hood is ZX but the front clip looks a little short, particularly the headlight "french." but then again, the car is heavily modified.

S130. Note crease in fender, overhang of hood, B-pillar. I'd also point out the fenderwells, but that's one of the first things S30/31 owners modify when going racing. It actually looks like a famous 280ZX from Midnight Club that was featured in one of the so-cal auto rags ... er, ten years ago or so. It also appeared in the Motorway Express series.Mr Kleen wrote:found this on IGN.com's coverage of TAS 2007. no info and only one pic. I'd love to see more of this one. my first car was a silver 280ZX.

wha wha whaaaaaat? granted we all know s30's are much nicer, but to say that the 280zx sucks is just not niceavriette wrote: Could be the same car, I suppose. But really, 280ZX's suck. I'm not sure why anyone would want to drive one of those bigass RWD cars anymore.
hint: alex has owned a 72 240Z (L28), a 79 280ZX, an 81 280ZX, an 81 280ZXT, and presently owns an 82 280ZXT. he has rebuilt the L28 by hand more than once, and done more engine installs than he cares to remember.WANGAN_X wrote:wha wha whaaaaaat? granted we all know s30's are much nicer, but to say that the 280zx sucks is just not niceavriette wrote: Could be the same car, I suppose.

Help Alex so you don;t make the same mistakes twiceMr Kleen wrote:now that is hawt. one of these days I want to redo an old Z...
The Z in question was built by a member of the Mid Night Club, a group of street racers in Japan. There's an article on Wikipedia about them. At the time, stroking a Z out to 3.1L was absolutely unheard of. These days, I won't say it's common, but it's a lot more common.thermobox wrote:what i gather is that these cars skyline,porsche,fairlady,etc were built to play as ads almost for a manga series called wangan midnight. the cars were built pretty much to spec. but the original devil z(from the comic) was blue, twin turboed, makin in excess of 650hp
