We recently had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Chris Forsberg and his 1975 280Z that he built for SEMA 2015. This is such a unique Z car and built to drive. Powered by a single turbo RB25, wide-bodied, suspension...this is such a cool build and top it off it was built in 30 days!
Sit back and enjoy our day with Chris and his Z.

Saw this car in person at SEMA 2 years ago, it was sitting outside the convention center. Thank you for this video, I was getting distracted and not focusing on my 240z. This reminds me to get back and focus on my car, about 65% done.
