My Fairlady is finaly done. What do you guys think.

Post by **o_alcha3** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 5:00 pm

I posted a question a long time ago if I should have left my 78' RHD Fairlady 280Z green or paint it Gold. The majority said leave it gold when they saw the pix. But i had my heart set on the Le Mans Sunset. 350Z gold. I think it looks good.

Post by **themadscientist** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 12:10 pm

It appears defective, the steering wheel is on the wrong side

Post by **o_alcha3** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 12:42 pm

under the hood is a factory L28E. 2.8 single overhead. I just did a head job and took off 8 thousanths from the bottom for higher compresion and an HKS Super Mega Flow intake. I have the factory one but i dont like it.

What can I say? She's gorgeous!

looks like the car is a 79, you just going by production date? the engines are pretty much the same but if you ever look at aftermarket suspension you'll need to shop for 79 parts

the "turbo twins" did the same thing on national television refering to a "73" 260Z, the whole z comunity imediately discredited them

are you going to do any thing else to the car or the engine. If you are post your mods

Post by **o_alcha3** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 8:04 pm

As far as i know it is considered a 78' I was told the "ZX" bosy style was put in to production as a 78 of course they call it a "Fairlady 280Z" right above my shifter. If i do mod it Nico will be the first to know and see it.

How much did it cost. I am guessing you imported it so I was wondering how much the car itself cost and the import fee.

Also were did you get it from and which company you used to import it here.

By the way. It looks sweet, I love the color.

Post by **o_alcha3** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 6:55 pm

actually i know nothing about the importing it part. I bought it already regestered it was brought over by a marine a long time ago.

This is the kid who you were talking to when you help fix the closet when we moved in. Nick. I live next to your friend with the 240sx and STI. I was on cardomain one day and found your car on it. It looks sweet. Do you drive it around alot or are you just working on it now. Also did you do any thing to your 240sx.

Post by **partymonster 975** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 10:33 am

Also did you buy another car or something because you have more stuff listed on the bottom of your screen then just the 240sx and fairlady?

Post by **o_alcha3** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 7:27 pm

whats up Nick. Ya i picked up another 240. now i have 2. All I've done to my first 240 since last time i seen you is a performance fuel pumop from Touge Factory. You will probebly see me in the Fairlady at some point. Only on real nice days though. see you buddy.

Post by **evildky** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 7:39 pm

not sure about jap vin numbers but stateside the 78 280z first digits would be "HLS30" and the 79 280ZX would read "HLS130" believe me that car might be a production date of 78 but any parts for it are gonna be referenced from an 79 280ZX, of course the engine parts interchange from 70-83

Post by **o_alcha3** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 5:27 pm

oh ya if i ever order parts i say 79' 280zx. but ill look at the vin when the sun is out.

Where is everyone getting all these older RHD Z's?

There's another guy in the MD area with two of them, he's trying to sell one on NICO right now.

How'd you get yours? How'd he get his? How can I get mine?:-D

EDIT: Ok, actually read the damn thread, lol. Too bad I don't know any Marines with Z's sitting around....
