    So who is the SXOC'r working for C4's "Restoration Man"?

    Spotted this while watching Restoration Man on C4 the other night:





    I'm pretty sure that's a pair of 14a's parked in their mockup garage...

    Pretty random car to pick if it wasn't drawn up by an owner / fan....

    They're LHD and US plates so probably came as a standard object in the software they're using. Software guy clearly a 240SX owner

    you can download an entire s14a model (240sx) from numerous 3d model resource websites so it was probably just grabbed from one of those.

    It's annoying that the same doesn't seem to apply to S13's (91+ at least). Otherwise I'd already have a scalextric car

    Really?
    I've never managed to find one.
    Don't s'pose you have a link do you? Preferably compatible with Inventor (step, iges etc).

    How do you know they are LHD? I guess the wipers hint to it but it could just be badly drawn. And as Andy says Euro rear bumper so not a US one.

    There must be lots of LHD cars in Europe that have Euro rear bumpers.

    should be able to open them with Inventor as a dxf.

    i think they are just for novelty purposes though, wouldnt take any measurements of it :P

    Forget that, half of the 13 is missing
    Ive suddenly remembered why I gave up looking last time

    Free = Shite.
    Pay = You don't know until you have paid, then you find out its the same shite available free.

    Excellent find - I feel a scalextric car coming on Just need to do lots of measuring and find out how to scale a DXF as I've yet to have to do that with NX....
