Datsun 2x0Z's.

I'm thinking of starting up a second project with my dad. He has his old S30 in storage and I've always wanted to play with it. After going through a random search for 240/260Z's, man... I'm eager to start up on this.

These are of course my two favorites of the moment...

Edit - I actually just found one of the guys' personal blog with what he did to get that ride height. Damn.

NIce! I've been trying to find a 240/60 as my 2nd car for the longest time.
That blue one is on my desktop at the moment and I had yuta's up before he did the change. TOO DOPE I'm excited about it :biggthumpup:

Here's another top favorite of mine.
I NEED THESE FENDERS IN MY LIFE!

S30's are dope cars. I have my own old school project at the moment(hence my name) not nearly as clean as your inspirations.

TE37v's are super clean and I'm glad they went deep dish. Not too crazy about other companies doing the Hayashi and Sakura replicas though =(. The gram lights also come in the deep dish "57v" version now too.

That army green S30 in Japan is sick. I remember this article in SuperStreet about the owner having this roots founded in bosozoku. If I remember right the owner did a KenMary tail light and housing conversion (expensive and rare).

Best of luck with taking on a new project. I'm sure it will be enough to keep your wallet empty.

Damn it's going to be hard to find a good condition s30.
Craigslist would be your best bet.
