I heard that it was supposed to be a Z31 Turbo but Nissan could not supply the number of cars they wanted so early in the production.

That is some funny stuff! I bet he still feels like an idiot for saying that. I once had a kid ask me how he could "turn his turbo off" on his 300ZX to "save gas on the highway". Silly people.

Did you know...

The original Kitt was going to be a 280ZX?

The producers originally had the ZX cast as Kitt. GM got wind of it, and talked them into using their unrealeased (at the time) new '82 Trans Am.

I went to a geek Knight Rider site to check my facts but according to them, Nissan approached Glen Larson but he wanted the Trans Am. I'm pretty sure they are wrong (I remember this from an article I read back in '82 when I owned a '78 280Z and really wanted a ZX turbo).

On a side note. When I got my '83 280ZX turbo, I took a friend for a ride. After I nailed it so he could be impressed by the power, he said "Damn, but where is the turbo button?"

Nope, they are completely different dimensions.

Wow they really suit the red! Nice!

So there is is, sitting near the middle of the left turn lane, but looking fine and intact except for some chips in the paint. I get the car pulled over and myself out of the car just in time to see a school bus merge into the turn lane and run it right over... flat as a pancake.

Jesus f*&^ing christ. I'm pissed. That just ruined my whole day.

I guess the car decided she didn't like the louvers after all.

Yeah, Tim just bolted them to the bumper. I would do nothing else but that method.

[MrwassmanNA2T]

Dam..... She gets what she wants.


I had the trans am from knight rider, not the actual car, but same year. Fun car

[Domdogg123]

Um....yeah....so you owe me like $80 in weed and $40 in shrooms.....whenever you get it.

I'm sorry, those came with screws too. I feel like such a d-bag for not giving them to you....

Gary will be most disappointed...

[G-E]

louvers are bad, obviously... always sucks to "lose" a part that doesn't depreciate

[MikeZ]

Damn, that sucks.

Reminds me of Chris Farley driving the school bus in Billy Madison.

Post it over on the z31.com forum and see what you get
I like the louvers, like not "like like".

I seriously considered a light sequencer once. bought the LEDS and circuit board
never got further than that. and this lame gif

doesn't capture the full effect



Now, if i can only get bitchin betty to address me as "Michael"

Fuel level is low, michael

[Jason84NA2T]

Holy cow... this is almost exactly the opposite response I was expecting. I didn't know so many people liked the headlight louvers like I do!

[MrwassmanNA2T]

I love your car

[BLOZ UP]

Good move, Jason. You can never go wrong with louvers. Unless you get the cheap plastic quarter window ones from MSA. $140 or whatever rediculous amount for those pieces of shit.
