FBC's 300ZX

Sorry if the images are too big for dial up users.

Not pictured is the extra set of 17" TSW's shod with Eagle F1 tires(brand new).

Beautiful.  I love the ambience.  Nature shots are you thing, FBC.  

I do adore the body style.  Hopefully you'll find a sunny day and get it into some natural light.

thanks raza, i just snapped some in the garage because there is 5 inches of snow outside.

If it was earlier in the day(and i didn't mind washing it again) i was going to pull it out in the back yard and get some picks of it in front of the pond and woods(all snow covered). I think it would look pretty sweet, a nice clean black Z surrounded by snow covered landscape.

I will do a "photoshoot" one day during the summer, probobly bring it to this scenic overlook down by the river(get stillwater in the background).

I love your car.

Gosh, tha's purty. B)  Some light touching up and it'll look like it just came off the lot.

WOW! Looks clean!

Now whip out that MSA catalog and get to work! You should look into a pair of their embroidered floormats.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I do plan to clean it up alot more. There is still some buffing compound in some of the cracks. As you can see from the first pick, the front puper cover is alittle rough(it had a bra on it). I'll probobly end up painting the bumper cover. Otherwise its just in need of a good detail job.

I plan to get the floor mats from nissan, they are only 60(i think, or 50) bucks. The bose stereo works pretty good(as far as nissan bose stereo's go). I'll use it until some problem comes up(its pretty nice, 6 disk in dash player). Then i'll look into a new HU.


I'm planning some small mods to it, first thing is enhancing coolant(both oil and engine coolant) efficiency. I'll probobly put a new radiator and oil cooler in it, it just had the 60K service done so its pretty much up to date(only 66K on the clock).

Boy i can't wait until next summer. Its tough looking at it knowing i won't be driving it for a couple months.

You have good taste in cars FBC!

How functional is that boost gauge? The gauges in the DSMs I drove were absolute garbage, which makes me wonder if OEM boost gauges are like that in general, or if it was just Mitsu cutting costs.

Nice.  B)  

[Cobra93]

Very nice!    I like that body style MUCH better than the new ones.


So................ You gonna sell your supercharged twin engine Del Sol?

Thanks, i like to think i do. :D

The boost gauge seems pretty accurate, it certainly is more than a ballpark reading.

Though i'm sure a aftermarket unit will be alot better.

Yup, its my favorite Z. It looks great even for being a (now) 17 year old design.

As for the del i have no intentions of selling, are you crazy, that car is hot.

I've already had a couple offers for it(both exceding 100K), but i will never let it go, its a true collector car.

Don't let Wesman see this thread.
