its looks nice with the top off but i havn't seen a pic with the top on. Any pics?

:iagree:

Thought of another concept though... Hard top convertible like the S2000, but you can actually fit in the car in this case.

Wow thanks for all your time and money into this project (the shop as well). I cant wait to see this completed and go into production.

Me too, hey what is going on? J/K, Revolution Kustomz, our builder is working on the tops. Since this is a prototype, it usually takes longer to figure things out and this targa conversion is taking longer than they planned. It may look good on paper, but when it is fabricated it may have to be altered. I have already seen them do a fantastic looking job over just because it didn’t perform flawlessly. Sort of like a lot of homes that have issues or crazy things that the designer did not catch. At least they can alter what they did right there. Whoever wants the next targa, it will take about ½ the time.
Revolution Kustomz are creating a hard top as well as a folding soft top for emergencies when we are riding solo. They both will fit in the car. One huge request was to have the hard top inside the car. At nights we want to lock the hard top on for security. One major reason we did not care for the convertible (no offence to the vert peeps out there.)
They still have a ton of work to do with this project. And when I say project, I mean the entire car. From adding Airtech suspension, the entire hatchback with: speakers, amps, subs, fiberglass, air brushing, fiber optics, dressing up the engine bay with their water transfer painting and lighting, the alarm system, real-time digital rear view camera, and a lot of easy stuff like installing our new wheels and tires, to installing head unit and 2nd monitor for the rearview camera. I’m glad I am not them. But as they told me, “nothing’s impossible, it just costs more money.” Lol
I should have some more pics in a day or two. They have been keeping us updated with pics all the time. I’ll post them to the site. I have to make a new photo album due to the fact the slideshow is too slow.

Dean, they do realize SEMA is only a month away, right? ;)

CBRich 10-01-2010 09:20 AM

I am all for an Elise type soft top.

TopGone 10-02-2010 10:01 AM

Yeah, oh they know. I started freaking out yesterday. Kenny, co-owner assured me it will be done. It is really less than a month for us because we need to park the car on the 31st, and we need 2-3 days for driving.
The Elise soft top is beautiful. They won't have time to complete that, but it's no biggie.
I updates all the mods last night on the site. (link is located up top in the header.) I still have a lot of work to do on the site. That picture gallery has to go. We have way too many pics and the slideshow takes forever.
Anyway, we are totally open to suggestions on the car (I did mention to Revolution Kustomz about the rollbar and helmet issue, thanks you guys), and I am open to suggestions on the site as well. www.ztarga.com I'm the same way with the www.zdayz.com's site. Good, bad, and ugly, send it our way. That's one of the best ways to improve.

This car is going to look great, what are they doing on the center consle, you said an extra monitor?

Lemers 10-02-2010 10:46 AM

My only suggestion is to make all the rails and latches look like Nissan it's self made this car.

Yeah, where the factory Bose head unit is located now is being replaced with a touch screen JVC head unit with DVD and all that jazz. So, that is one screen that can play music videos. Now, above that where the storage nook is, we are going to utilize that pocket with a real-time view on what the heck is behind me.

You know what? That is about the only thing that I don't care for this model Z. Right now, which I have maybe put a total of 10 hours on the car if I'm lucky (Amy has been driving it the most), anyway WE really don't know what the heck is behind us when we look. When we look for vehicles and we have to 2nd guess ourselves, something’s wrong. We just can't see enough, for safety. There is that safety word again. lol Also, the 2nd monitor will look good. Heck, maybe I will have them keep it on when the car is parked and the radio is on, like for shows. That way viewers can see what the camera sees. i.e. "Hey sweetie, go to the back of the car so I can see you in the monitor!" Anything for kicks, right?

I've have given a lot of stupid suggestions, and Revolution Kustomz told me that they want it to look as if Nisan built it in their factory. They have said about 4 times to me- that they want it to look like factory. There are no parts in the targa that are not Nissan, so far. The entire latching mechanism is coming from a donor z32. Man, I can pop that latch without even looking at it. All those z32 owners with t-tops know exactly what I am talking about. If you never owned a t-top, then it is the same feeling as popping the back on a bra strap. “I’m good.” It just brightens up my day. :tup:

TopGone 10-03-2010 12:13 AM

Sorry, I got carried away. :icon18: I have not had a bra on since my weekends in college. Those were the days. ;) J/K

KingofHeartsZ 10-05-2010 07:50 AM

Equinox 10-05-2010 10:19 AM
