These and Wolfrace slotmags are on lots of new sold datsuns because they were the only aftermarket wheels back in the days.,.

Eric - are you shure these are Wolfrace slotmags? Cuz wolfrace slotmags look like this:

...Yours would be the turbines, not the slot mags, I believe he was simply stating that either/or were popular dealer options back in the day...

Your turbines could have been manufactured by any number of companies, I don't have the eye (or care enough, lol) to know which.

Wolfraces are analogous to Ansen slot mags which were more popular in the US... The Wolfraces I'm most familiar with from the series one Lotus Esprit

Thanks for clearing me out Dachshund! Now then i look at the Turbines once again - they dont look too bad actually

And i was almost going to trow them to aliuminium junk

Lots of things where done since i posted last time

New wheels - new color

Since i aint wanted them to be plain black - decided to add a bit of color to them

Fronts and rear have different mesh - so decided to do different ornament on both also:

New steering wheel by M'sport - and it was a superb day to get it back on the road!

We done a little photoshoot - so there will be lots of photos pretty soon!!! One small downside is i never managed to sort out G'nose glasses... no one wants to manufacture them here localy, and to find them it seems imposible without paying top dollar for them

Oh, and as my Brown 280z is getting done already - i bought another one from 'states'

Got it from Auctions, came as charity vehicle, and it has been in storage for lots of years it seems

Got it from Nevada desert - so its pretty much burned all around... interior is pretty messy, but overall - not too much rust. This one will be done in less flashy way, i want to make it look more like 240z. Will be starting this month to work on it - so will be updating here also

Wow, I really like it with the G-nose. As I scrolled down I was hoping you'd go with brown or orange as the final colour and I wasn't disappointed!

Thanks guys!

Still need to re-do my rear muffler - make it bigger - cuz now the exhaust is way too loud... And to fix few small bugs that poped up...

Sad to say that its now sold - but atleast new owner will take a good care of this babe

Oh well - will have to build a new one for my self over the winter...
