Will post some photos later, but their series III 350Z is really cool. You need to spend alot for it though, the wide body extends the width by 10cm so your stock wheels etc will look silly. The front cowl is a little longer, has better airflow for the engine, and cooling ducts for the brakes. Nice big rear spoiler. Most outstanding feature is the supercharger protruding through the hood.

Says this setup with their computer is good for about 350rwhp, plus about another 80rwhp if you hit the NOS.

The wide body is too wide for my parking area, but I will be having them install the series III front cowl, new frp hood and some nice carbon fiber door mirrors. Probably get the computer too. Computer cost is about $800, only good for an extra 5-10hp, but says it improves the response of the car under the right foot

Also on the way are gull wing door openers.

They have alot more R & D to do, but looks good.

A couple of other nice cars in the showroom. Supra and Skylines with over 1000rwhp

Bwaaaahahahah !
Oh boy, so many toys in one place. The customer cars are powerful, the Veilside cars are POWERFUL ! :P
Did you know a couple of the main cars in Fast and Furious were made by them ? I didn't until today.

Anyway I digress.
This is the widebody 350Z Version III


For my taste it is a bit too much. The widebody would rip off the first time I try to park it at my apartment, and not a fan of large rear spoilers.
Wanna see what that is coming through the bonnet/hood ?


A nice big supercharger boosting power to about 350rwhp.
Then they told me what the crossmember in the boot/trunk is really for. It's to hold this funny looking bottle that when you hit the red button gives you an extra 80rwhp :P


Got a bunch of photos. This is rather nice.

Having over 1000rwhp on an AWD car must be nice :up:

For me, my purchases are likely to be the front fender from the version III, it is frp, better areos, a little longer to have room for an intercooler at a later time, and has air ducting to cool the brakes.

Also the version III bonnet/hood without the hole for supercharger. Again lighter frp and with a couple of cooling vents.

The carbon fiber door mirrors to replace the stone damaged ones on my car - the replacements aren't powered Bit look nice

Last on the list will be the computer unit. Takes off speed/rev limiters, gives and extra 5-10rwhp, and makes the car respond better. The computer is programable to suite whatever engine changes you make later.

Also will have the gull wing door openers fitted when they finish testing them.

Same here, would be much better if the joins were smoothed over and no screw holes visible. But the front bolts straight on like a stock version.

I know there are some turbo kits out there, would love to see where they fit them. That engine bay is pretty tight ! If not, mmmmm I wonder what it would look like if the supercharger was powdercoated black on a black car A little Mad Max comingh through

I think the drag R34 is the boss mans car, they would only refer to it as having over 1000rwhp. Didn't get a photo of it but they had an engine on display for a R34, that thing is tiny ! The twin turbos and the supercharger must make up half it's size !

Upwards/forward oening door fitting won't be ready until October and will cost about $3000.

My car gets picked up Saturday for them to do the front bumper type III, hood type II and aero mirrors. The current mirror controls will be used for some additional driving lamps in the new bumper. The extra length of the type III bumper will be useful next year when the turbos go in. Seen a company now installing them, they get fitted to the underside of the engine and range from 400hp to 600hp.

Thursday will be the drive at Motegi.

Will post pics when the car comes back and also video of the Motegi drive.
