Thank you very much for appreciating, wireharness should be done in 3 weeks as well as radiator and turbo plumbing. All new weather seals/coilovers/big brake kits/LSD are next on order list.

I am debating on changing the color only because there are ton of orange Z's around.

Suggestion are welcome on exterior color but I want to stay with solid's and really like to stay away from brown/green/white/black/blue..

Why don't you go for a RB26DETT?

Oracles (Oracles) 2011-01-07 15:34:29 +0500 #29

Must not be early Z, Z's like others started introducing maroonish in late 70's early 80's

Because I already have a RB25 DET?

One of mine as well especially early Z's with vertical lines on the hatch glass and 2 little grilles on hatch itself.

I think I'll stick with dark shade of Orange (tangerine) with flares.
Might visit Pakistan sometime in summer but no plans yet.

Thanks
