Popping mah cheery with a strange question,

im looking into buying a 300zx 90-96 chasis, and i was wodnering if you think it is possible to fabricate pop-up headlights onto the chasis because those front eyes are simply ugly, i know i could learn to love them, but pop up headlights have a place in my heart that shall never disappear

thanks for any feedback :Q

whywhywhywhy?

anyway, i've never seen it done. i would save the troubles and forget that idea..

I love the z32 headlights.
I'm sure its possible, but I'd assume it would take a LOT of fab work..

you need to shoot yourself in the face

*brndck* · 07-23-2012, 11:03 AM

no. it is not possible. man can walk on the moon and create devices to talk to one another from all corners of the globe, but we could not possibly put pop-ups on a z32.
/sarcasm

yes its possible.
(the question of how it would look and the $$$ involved are entirely separate matters)

Lmfao! Anyways back to the op. I have never seen it done but I don't think it would fit the car. But it's your ride so you can do whatever u want

ixfxi · 07-23-2012, 03:52 PM

theres not enough room for a thimble in the engine bay of a z32

i cant imagine how this fucking retard is going to install retractable headlights

for shits n giggles, i walked over to a jspec z32 headlight i have here.... 15" wide

nsx... 9"

yeah, ide love to see this happen.

Z32 headlight is a great design, even Lamborghinis used them. Don't change it!

*dawagarage* · 08-16-2012, 10:35 AM

im not hating, but this is the 1st ive ever heard of someone wanting to go from flush lights to pop ups. its usually the other way around. its like youre going back in time.

they used them because they were accessible and had the correct dimensions for that car, thats the only reason why they used them. the halogen headlights are not great by any means, though they are certainly not bad.

dont think exotics use high-end lighting technology. this has only changed recently. you'de be surprised (disappointed) at what is inside some of the more expensive exotic-car headlights....

'99 JDM HID Headlight Assemblies (pair)

I was googling Pignose Coupe, saw this, and thought of this thread so here I am posting again.

Poor Pignose..

*dawagarage* · 08-22-2012, 02:50 PM

ugh thats gross! looks like a saturn

MalditoJay · 09-27-2012, 04:38 PM

Z32's stock headlights are some of the sexiest headlights in the world, why do you think Lamborghini put on the Diablo? You should leave it the way it is.

Chronox2 · 10-03-2012, 01:30 AM

Even Lamborghini loves our headlights back in the 90s. Did they ask Toyota? No, did they say hey an s14 headlight on a diablo? No... Let's see what they change their folding headlights on the original lamborghini diablo to.

OMG 300zx z32 headlights! On a Lambo? How come?

thedeadking · 11-16-2012, 07:13 AM

Forget the Lamborghini, it's all about how they look on the Nissan R390.
