I keep getting asked where its from... Somebody else has one on 3zc but has no idea where it came from either, lol. Based on the amount of times I've been asked about it I reckon there would be a big demand for one if it were to be reproduced.

I've seen three total yours his and one from Australia and I cannot figure out where it's from either, I'm batsh*t crazy about it too so it makes me sad lol. Too bad I don't have the means to have one produced. If you ever want to get rid of it I call dibskis.

Here's the Aussie with one:

Yeah I figured that much, I like this one and the veilside that Edgar runs, but I'm pretty sure that's just a 2+2. Looks like I'm staying spoiler-less for the foreseeable future. :(

BTW Can't wait to see the finished car Tg it's looking great so far.

HOLY PURPLE WINDOW TINT!
Yeah its dark dark purple (5%). I like it cause at night it looks like everybody has 9000K HID's.[/quote]

Ive got 5% too, but its black.. ive heard that if you clean tinted windows with window cleaner (instead of just H2O) some chemical in it will turn the tint purple.. is that what happened to yours or did you knowingly choose purple?

It was on it when i got the car but after having been to Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally purple.

If you look here you can see the fenders are built out to accommodate a wider rim, in this case I think wags has 13" wide rims on a 4" wider fender, but I'm not 100% sure of those figures.
Man I miss that model :crazy:

TT.net member DVDBurn has that car now, specs as follows:

Wheels:
HRE fully polished 540
Front: 18x9
Rear: 18x12

Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport C1's
Front: 265/35/18
Rear: 335/30/18

OK, absolutely not starting s***, just looking out for you and your car. Have you verified the 300° fuel rails you received were authentic 300° fuel rails? I'm sure you may have heard, but if you didn't, CZP was caught (and admitted to) making fake 300° fuel rails and selling them as authentic. You can get more info on the 300° website.

Are you running everything on a stock bottom end? I hadn't seen anything about a rebuild.

You mentioned you were looking for a air fuel controller. The Apexi SAFC-II is great, but the Neo is supposed to be better. I haven't personally played with it, but it's got more flexability. Nistune is the best option, and gives you the most tuning ability.

Great work with the build, can't wait to see the finished product.

I believe that might be a Tommy Kaira spoiler? Andy has one and it looks similar to yours.

Invaluable information, I think you're absolutely correct. I've got some lurking to do on the Aussie site now see if I can trade my left nut for one. Thanks a lot Beast.

Also, I want to see TGsZ!

IPP stage 6 longblock, so not the stock bottom end.. the need for an AFC has been taken away by a tunable skyline ECU, so no need for it any more. Once it is tuned it will be good to go. The fuel rails are genuine, they were bought after said event.

Anyways, went by the shop today to check up... :D

(If anybody is wondering, this kit DOES NOT come like this... the division under the front of the doors for the fenders was custom so I can remove the fenders without scrapping the kit, as this would not be possible with the way the kit was put on wagz' car. Also, the rear bumper was matched to the body panels too so it could be removed with bolts like a stock bumper, it's not in the pics cause it is still getting the fitment perfect before putting it on.)

Nice touches too like the fuel cap, and I really like the small brake ducts...are they functional?

sadly they aren't functional, lol (well, they probably let a bit of air behind the wheel, but nothing ported and directed with a tube like they should be). I wanted to fill them in but it was going to be more work so I figured f*** it.

MMMMMMMmmmmmm, Andy's Z...it lives on my desktop as a shrine to the magnificence of the Super White Z32, and indeed possesses the only spoiler I'd ever put on my Z...

You can sort of get an idea of what it sounds like here. Put it in 480p for decent sound. (nice little rev at about 45s). hot redhead at about 33s.
