That's not the most ideal fender modification, if they used body filler to cover the weld, be extremely careful when removing it, or the filler could crack between the headlight bucket and the fender. I don't know who built it, but I would take a good look at the underbody for poor repair work.

You can never be too careful with these cars...


These are a couple of good places to get replacement parts

where exactly are you talking about? the front fenders?

The front fenders and the headlight buckets are seperate pieces on factory Z's. The previous owner has clearly decided to combine the two, how I do not know.

ohhh i see what you mean, ill have to take a better look but im working out of town atm. thanks for the heads up tho ill check it out

Something else I noticed was that they installed anchors in the buckets for headlight covers (clear or solid), you could technically buy a pair and stick them on if you like the look.


Could you also take a more detailed photo of this area when you're back, it's the dogleg right in front of the rear wheel.

i like em without the cover personally. my next mod after the paintjob would be to get some nice fender flares for that fat ass look and some wheel spacers

yeah ill be home in a week ill PM you. might be some rust or some body work imperfection.

it is a california car tho so there isnt very much rust. just a few small spots

hey so i took a look at the headlights and i cant even tell where the break is, its all very smooth. as for under the door is just a small rust bubble

i personally like the flag on the car...goes back to the theme of having a retro japanese sports car.

I wouldn't worry about the possible negative connotations in Vancouver. You can be as PC as possible and you'll still offend someone. Those that are sensitive to it are likely the same people who will make a comparison between JAL fleets and Kamikaze fighter planes because they both have a big red dot on their wing.

sorry for derailing the thread and I could care less if I got failed.

Good because you're talking complete nonsense

Nice lookin ride. I had a 71 240z years ago. Ended up being an unfinished project. Had to abandon cause was getting too costly. One day i'll do it again when i have the time and money.
Whats under the hood? is that fuel injected and/or a turbo i see?

thanks man! i like it too but regardless its gonna have to come off with the paintjob. im gonna be putting that theme under the hood

its an rb25det out of an r33 skyline so yeah turbo fuel injected :D
