White really suits it.

If so, it looks better, like yours, without..

I found this re S130 build year differences, The years 82-83 bumper matches the body colour.

Do they usually have contrasting mouldings along the side? I am not 100% sure on that, 280zx for the American market definitely were contrasting. S130 Fairladys JDM may not have been. The air dam I am planning to fit will likely be matt black. But the original valance will stored away for safe keep...

I have some unused sway bar link bushes if you need them, I see they have been replaced on yours. Also have the rear control arm bushes, 2 sets, again guessing you don't need them. And a set of new OEM rear subframe bushes. They were pressed in, but then pressed out... If you need any black coupe i...

Hi all, No, i decided not to bid in the end. Two reasons. - photos of the underbody didn't look too great - main reason, am buying a 2 seater 280zx in Christchurch. Hopefully it all works out. Viewing it this weekend or early next week, and if it passes the sanity checks, no major issues i'll drive ...

Been checking in on the forums now and then this year but went quiet on the car buying front as we were relocating from Wellington to the mainland, South Canterbury. With a garage, a lil extra time and some finances freed up I just might have found my first Z car. :D Located in Christchurch https://...

I gave this one some further thought and will end up passing on it. Someone advised certain work ie. on structural frames needs certification so DIY not an option. I will go with something I can drive even if it is in some dis-repair, very shabby looking. Want to have a at least a bit of fun before ...
