I'm probably going to try and build one of these someday. or maybe just buy one and make it look sweet and just drive it, not really wanting to do a full build anytime soon. :P

[Digital K]

more penis twitching over here :)

[hamradio]

No, you're not crazy. They have spectacular lines, and I love them.

[toasted]

Beautiful cars.

[paulzeee]

[OptimusGlen]

I think theres one over here in the garage.

[sprstu]

this guy by me has 3, one is nice the other two have rotted away to nothing. way sexy. My g-pa had a 240 back in the 80's, he also had wicked sideburns and a burt reynolds esque mustache.

[The_Stig]

I'm antsy in my pantsy for those cars

[Toftii88]

[SpkrBoxx]

Does this mean I will be allowed to bring mine to Eurowerks 09'?????
I can put a VW badge on it...

[vweezly]

[Die Frau]

These cars rust pretty quickly, no?

[Crispy222]

Ok, I'm going to need more pictures of this, ASAP.

[Digital K]

[palmer]

Yeah, ok.



Anyway, I found some more:

Wow, that's hot.


600+ hp to boot. Nice.



I also LOL at the use of the word "fart can" to describe a round muffler.

[Digital K]

too far gone. unhot. wheels are too big. fart cans. the flares look strange and out of place.

[Crispy222]

yeah, macro closeups of the fart cans for sure.

Those aren't Ebay specials. Those resonators on a straight 6 are SICKNESS like HIV.

Case in point:

I don't like the fully polished wheels. Flat black faces with polished lips.

PS My Passat comes stock with a fart can by definition.

Those are brushed faces with a polished lip

[palmer]

Styling is subjective.


I like the car as a whole, but I think the stripes should go.


And those are not fart cans.

[Digital K]

they look like it. and yes, its subjective. :) it looks like a wannabe Datsun Eleanor

[OptimusGlen]

Whomever changed the title to mayo needs to drown in mayo. And my barf. Mixed together.

I agree with Kris, the fender flares look odd, and whe wheels too big. I respect that it has a lot of work into it, but thats just, like, my opinion, man.

[SpkrBoxx]

The rims are a bit much... But the car on the whole is sick! He has a heavily modded rb26 in the thing.

Don't worry Kris eventually the import people will have to come around to 14x10's with 245 tires!

I am a big fan of the JDM 240zg

100% as it looked rolling of the showfloor. Although maybe not the wheels but pretty close. i want the ZG nose on mine bad!!!!!

280Z w/Chevy engine. Kinda dumb wheels but it's cool to see a clean and cheap, higher h/p swap.

[SpkrBoxx]

Everyone was trying to tell me that I should put a 350 in mine. It would have been a lot simpler of a swap, and just as much fun if not a little more. But I would have felt like I should put on my fox racing hoody and john deer hat, drive down to the bar and have a MGD everytime i drove the thing. Got to say with the sraight 6! I it was not the RB20 for mine, it was going to be a BMW inline. If I ever do another one that will be the way I go. Bmw engine, SDS and go!

[Digital K]

now this is doing it right:

[palmer]

Wheels are to small.


I like the nose treatment, it really changes the car.

[Ood]

Definitely one of my favorite imports. Hope to have one someday.

[StickiestOfTheIckiest]

do want a Datsun 240Z

[SpkrBoxx]

Well everyone buy one then there will be some others in town that like to do things with their cars.
The Z owners I have found in town suck...

just no one hate on me when I drive that to the eurowerks events and leave the Rabbit at home

[toasted]

RB25DET swapped into this one.

I'm not feeling the body work, but this thing has to cook.

[SpkrBoxx]

That one is uuuuuuugggggggly. Looks like a goldfish, but she has to move!

[Topher]

That looks hideous.

[Lendo]

Palmer is correct, those are not fart cans. They are cunt mufflers.

Topher-Any update on the steam room?

Is the straight RBDET inline-6 lighter then the VQ35de? If it is this would be all the reasoning you would need to tell people.

No i am afraid not.
Rb motors = cast iron closed deck block = heavy
The vq would be sweet but pricey
i picked up my rb for 1300 shipped, so the price was right

[momo]

Always been a huge fan of the OG Z's

[momo]

It's sexy even in R/C form.....
http://www.rceasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/240zpic.jpg

Oof. I've been drooling over that body for a while. What's cool is that it'll fit my Tamiya Mini Cooper Chassis . So it may be in my ownership someday :biggrin:

[CaRJoE0220]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/2856300614_b34ac90988_o.jpg

I like it. I think it looks clean with such little breaks in the body.

and yes a catfish for sure

[mimalmo]

Couldn't they get the bodywork around the intercooler straight?
