Nissan 300zx Convertible

[da_ashman]

I Had no idea that Nissan ever produced a 300zx convertible, until a mate of mine had a vintage Tamiya kit for sale, I was shocked that it was a convertible & that there was even a kit for it!!! Bring back the Tamiya of the 90s!!!!
Was a pretty decent kit, all new moldings, even the engine was the correct non turbo version! Tamiya did a good job, not just reusing the Targa T tops spruces.
I painted mine Zero Ferrari Giallo Triplo Strato, came out looking amazing! Photos dont do this type of paint justice. I changed the wheels to Asohima SSR Professer SP3 wheels & painted the centres Semi gloss black. Came with the VIP angled tires, so was a bit of work to get the right stance & height. I wanted a showy look, so chromed parts of the engine & modified the exhaust for a better look. Overall pretty happy with the result.
The Decals were pretty past it, the ones on the back are in multiple pieces as they cracked going into water & wouldn't move once on the body. so not too stoked about that, & the bonnets not seated very well in the photos

Cheers for Looking

Great looking car!

It looks like the paint has a pearl effect - try taking pictures around noontime or so, when the sun is directly overheard to get the pearl to shimmer.
