Huh, not been in this thread for ages, come in to find it full of Porsches, just as I have another to add to it...

One of my favourite cars, in one of my favourite racing liveries:

Someone parks one of those in silver right in front of my house on most days. Next time I see it I'll grab some snaps for you.

Was it some sort of factory vinyl option package?

 

[homeforsummer]

Don't think so - there are a few pics of them with the Martini stripes knocking about on the internet, but I suspect the owners had them done themselves. Works well though, classic livery.

 

[Perfect Balance]

Perfect.

Almost, except for the sagging pignose front lip that seemingly nobody in the history of Silvia ownership has ever managed to install without the center hanging down.

Optional oem "aero" front bumper. Then it would be perfect.

I think that car with the engine I saw in a drift car at Formula D long beach would be something I could drive for many years. (Tomei 2.2 w/VVL head)

That racing liveries on that AE86 looks nice.

^Awesome shot.

Nice to see photos of an S13 without it being a "dorifto monster".

No, it's the sorting area for a Japanese company that refurbishes and sells old wheels.

But according to the text they don't like potential customers seeing what they have

That car has a Rocket Bunny kit on it. Visually, it is very much representative of the "dorifto monster" look, although it is rare because of the cost of the thing. Other than that I see a ricetastic double stack wing, but I don't think you were referring to that.

Or did you simply mean that it wasn't sideways in the picture?

In any case, since you said it was nice to see a grip 240sx:

An old one, before it became (more) ugly.

EDIT: Trying to find a thread on Zilvia that consisted of track cars. Cannot find.

Remember that "Stuck" video with the two guys in the airport? One was Joe Ayala, and this is his car.

Justin Shreeve needs to get his car painted already.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I heard he is soon. He just got the 1JZ in, so I'm sure it'll be painted soon.

And waits for everyone to insult the car

I really don't see why people hate on the Z32, I love them. The best looking Z for sure, and I love the VQ that they have.

Anyone remember this car?

Continuing.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I love the Z32. Shame they are terribly unreliable and impossible to work on.

Says who, Z1motorsports built one with over 1000hp. It was in Modified Mag and sits in their shop now. I'll go get a pic of it this weekend.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

A friend of mine owns a tuning shop specializing in Nissans. Replacing just the knock sensor took something like 18 hours and required pulling the motor for one of his customers.

So does Z1, 18 hours on a knock sensor. Not at this shop.

EDIT #2:

Now THAT is a "grip" S13. Thing looks awesome.

And waits for everyone to insult the car

Are you kidding? That's one of the rare, proper 300ZXs out there 👍

Anyone remember this car?

Jun Prelude

Why yes. Yes I do 👍

EK and FD

👍


EDIT:

Not F1 but still cool...

 

[Perfect Balance]

And before it was repainted.

 

[speed junkie]

^Yup.

 

[RocZX]

I really don't see why people hate on the Z32, I love them. The best looking Z for sure, and I love the VQ that they have.

Definitely the best looking Z
They had the VG, the VQ was in the Z33.

So does Z1, 18 hours on a knock sensor. Not at this shop.

One of knock sensor is on the back bottom portion of the engine, it's impossible to remove without pulling the engine out.

Are you kidding? That's one of the rare, proper 300ZXs out there 👍

I was joking around cause most people on here hate the Z32

EDIT #2:

Pretty much about it not being sideways. Didn't really like the car, but was nice to see one used in a different manner.

And the one pictured above = much better.

I had thought about buying a 240SX to make a track car out of it, but the thought of me being asked why I'm not drifting it all the time would get on my nerves.

Not to mention the S13 doesn't make a great grip car, for some reason. They do alright, but when compared with other cars of similar weight and lesser tire they seem to be lacking. Something to do with the rear suspension geometry and anti-squat, which iirc just creates a lot of bumpsteer in the rear, and was corrected in the s14. I know quite a few people switch to the S14 subframe for this reason when building a track car out of an S13.

I dont get why people do stuff like that like drill holes in their rear bumper. As far as I know they do it to increase downforce and stability at the rear or reduce drag.... Wouldnt a rear diffuser fix all those problems and look 100 times better?
