For those that can't find (or afford) the book...

saphriel has posted a nice overview over at Flat-6.net.

looks like a downgrade to poorly executed 280 Z kit car. Just my opinion though

Tarek,
I completely agree with you on the photo that PorKen posted. I even think it looks like a the more modern version of the early Z (was it a 240z?) that Nissan made in the 90s.

Porken,
Thanks for posting the link to this information on the Projekt 928...wonderful stuff.

I found the Project 928 book for $199.00 in my recent Internet search. Now, I am NOT one to openly advocate blatant disregard of the author and publisher copyrights. However, I'm secretly hoping that a 928 enthusiast somewhere on the planet will convert the contents of this out-of-print publication to PDF or other format (e.g., jpeg) and distibutes it for a reasonable sum (e.g., cost of the blank CD-R...perhaps) to those of us who'd rather spend that sum on maintenance or upgrades to our vehicles Who know, perhaps "Saphriel" from the Flat-six.net forum will oblige?

Best,
TUK

Being a 928 enthusiast without owning this book would be like a Christian without a bible. It is sacred.

I like how they disguised it to look like a Volvo in a few pics! Nice!

Now if you could just find copies of Projekt 928 in any given hotel room or handed out by teens in suits on any given college campus...

hehe...
There's 3 copies on Barnes and Noble including a German language version. Cheapest is $211.76, not bad! Two others for $367.50. The English version is "Project 928", the German version is "Projekt 928".

Those prices are incredible ! I must have really scored when I purchased mine on eBay about 5 months ago. I bought the German language version for only $70 and it was in close to pristine condition.

The photos showing the early hood design with air intakes along the side of the hood are pretty neat.

I was even luckier - I got my English language version for Christmas a few years ago. I'll keep it forever - unless I become really broke and need to sell it to buy food and/or shelter.

This is where you can see how far ahead of it's time the 928 really was... Don't all the others look really, really old by comparison?
