Jared350z Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I came across this pic on instagram and I have never seen one before, not sure if its photoshop but either way looks pretty sweet. Hope the pic comes out alright, I had to shrink it. Quote
brillomaster Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 bit hard to see when shrinked, can you put a link to the image online? Quote
14N Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 It's something I've seen the yanks do a few times. Not sure how a Zed Targa would handle in the twisty's though Quote
SkylineV35 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Zed Targa?! wow im intrigued! Did they just chop the roof off? Quote
Humpy Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 This has been discussed here and with some nice pictures - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/72846-only-an-idea-hard-top-convertible/page__hl__targa#entry1085100 Quote

Jared350z Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Ah thats better 14N, Nice one. What would I do without you guys? Quote
ZEUS Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Cor that's lovely, should of made them like that from the factory Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 OP's image: And don't let Buster see this.... Love that Targa look , reminds me of my old 911S Targa. Quote
Jared350z Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Be interesting to see how the roof attaches and where you would store the roof if you took it off while you were out. UK weather would love to ruin a nice day out with the roof off!! Quote
GMballistic Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Don't really like it on the 350Z but it doesn't look as bad on the 370Z imo. Quote
R35LEE Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 If any of you guys fancy doing this I have a Stihl saw disc cutter in my garage. I will draw the lines for you and start the saw but you will have to sign a disclaimer and do the cutting yourself 1 Quote
R35LEE Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Pm'd you my address, come Saturday before 4pm as my neighbours are older than the titanic. Oh and don't bring beer I'm trying to do dry January 1 Quote
KyleR Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I quite like it, but there would need to be some serious strengthening going on or it would surely twist a bit when pushing it. Quote
Dblock Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I quite like it, but there would need to be some serious strengthening going on or it would surely twist a bit when pushing it. +1 but IMO its still 1000000000x better than the roadster with the roof up. Probably the most ugly thing evar! Quote
sipar69 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Like it but also wonder about where the roof would go when driving! Quote
R35LEE Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It could double up as a rear wing and unbolted if it starts to rain Quote
ddcboyle Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I had thought about doing this a while back until someone mentioned how weak it would be. Supposedly roadster chassis is different? Too much work, but does look way better. Car companies dont realise hard tops etc will sell better than that fabric MG look they done with convertible. Quote
Jared350z Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 I just saw a pic of a Zed with a sun roof, didn't even know they did that!! I dont like it though. Quote
gareth29 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I quite like it, but there would need to be some serious strengthening going on or it would surely twist a bit when pushing it. my second thought, after "why?" - suppose the climate is better over there - no more misting with the roof off!
