Car Spotlight >> Fairlady Z Perfection

For those who saw my post on the recent Izu Drive, you may remember a shot of this particular S30 that just happened to pull up in the parking area where we all met.

It had obviously been restored to perfection, sporting the unmistakable ZG rear spoiler…

…riveted overfenders…

…and long "G" nose. The ZG only came in white, brown and red so the orange is obviously not factory. 

The 15-inch Watanabes were shod in brand new Yokohama A050 semi-slick tires 205/50R15 front, 225/50R15 at the rear. The stock stacked twin exhaust pipes were replaced with what looked like a one-off system.

The semi-stripped interior shows this car is definitely used in anger, I did bump into it at the Izu Skyline after all! The passenger side vintage Datsun Competition seat had been replaced with a Bride Low Max fixed bucket. I'm guessing with a lightweight body, what sounded like a tuned engine and semi-slick tires you really need all the lateral support you can get when at the wheel!  Other cool details were the snap-off steering boss and the cannabis leaf shaped deodorizer….something that was definitely picked up at the local Autobacs store!

Suspension height was set just right, just the kind of stance you want to see on a classic Z like this.

I liked how the hood was propped at a slight angle to allow hot air from the engine bay to escape, a very nice touch to one of the nicest S30's I've ever come across.

Gorgeous Dino!!!! One of my all time favorite cars. A friend of mine had one at University that he used to lend me to go to Walmart! LOL Very cool guy even cooler car.

5

Sell the R34 and get a ZG with RB from Rocky...



You know you want to Dino.

6

whats up with the potleaf sticker on the back windshield? and the potleaf air freshner? is the weed swag popular in japan lol? last time i checked drift racers and streen hoons hardly get busted for DUI/DWI.... wtf?

7

Probably one of the best looking cars ever featured on speedhunters

8

That car is pretty sweet, except for one thing. That newer Bride seat just doesn't "fit" with the rest of the car. An older Bride Zeta 2 would be real nice in there.

@ nick thats how you know he's not a pothead , the ones that are smoking in there cars don't advertse it..lol....clean car and i rarely like nosey cars, but this one is effin sweet!!

10

Nick.... what the hell are you talking about. No one gets busted for dui/dwi for smoking weed. It is one of the hardest things to get caught for. Last time I checked, no one really gets busted by the cops for that. And maybe he just smokes weed. It doesnt have to be a trend or something popular in japan, it could be that he just likes to smoke weed.

I have got to second the need for some Desktops of this one Dino! Damn nice, one of the cooler ZG style Restos I've ever seen, looks more aggressive than the original ZG's, Damn, loving the hood risers too, looks mean as.

Oversome Z! Just dont know right words to say... Very-very nice car! Beauty!

36

@gcv, i was busted for dwi for being high, and lost my licence and my car because of it. it happens everyday. and judging by the condition and function of this car, its not driven by a pothead, for sure. untill i get behind the wheel of it.

37

Would love one of these so badly!

38

Best zg nose z ive ever layed my eyes on - perfection, the weed stickers and air freshiner is a bit silly, its like he wants the cops 2 know he smokes, therefore giving the cops an excuse 2 serch the car.
