Looks like a fun project car..... still got the NSX as your avatar, though.... so it shouldn't be long before you find yourself in another one.

I can't imagine being without mine. Don't think it's possible to get it out of your system once you've had one.

The Z's actually graduated from project to full fledged turn-key. Used to be turn-key, but her problems forced her into being a project at the time being haha.

My last NSX was originally a Louisiana car actually, and yeah I'll end up in another one here in about 2 years. I'm just lazy and haven't changed my avatar ha.

Good choice. White's the national racing color of Japan, so you'd be riding around in some serious heritage



I believe there's a white S30Z with ZG flares in Japan that's running the OS Giken DOHC head with twin turbos which you can see on youtube. Sounds amazing.

Yes I know. I'm sad too haha but I will get into another NSX within about 2 years.

Buying and caring for this Z is a once in a lifetime event, and as rare as NSXs are, I can still find another one.

I don't either, but I'm about to change it. I can see it just fine, but I like the cleaner look without it on the hood.

I believe the previous owner put it there more as a convenience thing because the FPR sits right underneath it, and you would need an isolator to mount the gauge inside ( which is what I'm doing ).

That is very very cool. Where did you find that? I had to check your location to make sure you weren't in Japan and that was sitting on a dealer lot over there

Keep us posted...I may say that is a step-up in coolness over the NSX (which I also love).

Super nice car. I looked at buying it before you bought it... I just didn't have the cash laying around for yet another project.
