So I figured this deserved its own thread: Naeki-san's Z34

No they don't. They say "fairlady" - he swapped it to the US 370z badge

His front emblem is a ZcarZero

Source: He told me he swapped the badging without asking and the roadster I took the picture of earlier had a fairlady badge as well.

Confirmed that they are Vossen G2s. He also spoke to ZcarZero and confirmed that both of the parts I want are in-stock so we're going to go pick them up in Yokohama tonight.

Fly home tomorrow...

How tough are B pillars to install? Do you just pry off the old ones and stick on the new ones?

Double checked the badging and tail lights. He said he bought it new with the clear tail lights and he swapped the fairlady badging for 370z badging himself.

Great pics Mark, thanks for uploading them!

I'd be down for some MAZOC shirts.

Naeki-san asked me to explain that he is only a member of Z Project Tokyo and not DSCC. I misunderstood.

dmhenderson · 05-16-2013, 07:58 AM

So...I think they have us beat in numbers:

Here's what their club meets look like:

Madness.

dmhenderson · 05-16-2013, 08:02 AM

So I'd also like to get him a gift of some sort for helping me. Any idea if there's anything in the US that would be desirable to someone with a JDM Z that he might not have easy access to?

Man, I miss my 93TT

dmhenderson · 05-16-2013, 08:32 AM

I want red metallic wheel hubs. I am asking him where his blue ones came from.

I'm not sure how he did that. If they were 2 piece rotors, it would make perfect sense. Maybe he just had the hats painted?

this would be my guess, the color matches too well for it to be anything else.

No Vtak, just two snails under the hood
