Lightbulb Top Secret Z

Top Secret is curently tuning a 350Z I guess in Japan, here's a picture I found from freshalloy, it looks just like the white Z with black nismo rims we have seen on that website can't remember the name.

Default nice find...

Top Secret is one of many tuners scrambling to mod the Z. I wish Yuichi would post the results of his recent trip to Japan.

In any event... the Z shown above has Ray's Volk TE37..19 inch wheels -- with tires.. front: 245/35-19... and rear: 275/30-19. Rim color is Bronze.

Top Secret is also working on some computer mods, center main exhaust pipe mods (keeping the stock muffler), and a few engine refinements.

Hahah Bill I have been slacking on getting results from my trip to Japan. I did see the TOP SECRET car in person and they are in a few magazines for mods for their car.

So far about their car they have already added a single muffler exhaust system. Ofcourse the rims are really nice in person and they have 2 electronic minds inside.

If you know anything about TOP SECRET they build some high HP cars. Problem with the Z is all their high HP cars (correct me if I'm wrong are TURBO!) The 350Z is not so I think they will have to pull the engine and go from there.

Are you sure the rims are bronze, I thought they were black?

Also what do you mean by the rims having "2 electronic minds"?

Default bronze... positive

I just picked up the new issue of HyperREV magazine with a 2 page article of Top Secret...

Those wheels are definitely bronze...

However.. in joelin's post link -- those Rays are definitely black.

Yuichi... which setup did you see ? ... and yes.. what do you mean by "2 electric minds" ?

That looks incredible. Bring on the mods. The new Z is surely bringing a good feel to the aftermarket folks.

It will be interesting to see what's in the marketplace a few months from now.

Talking Update

Sorry guys I guess I should read over what I type.

When I said two electronic minds..

I mean they added 2 eletronic options I asked them what they were but forgot. One I think is a speedometer control. Another was I forgot. Maybe Bill FairladyZ in Japan can see it in the article.

Top secret works fast man! They didn't have that wing on when I saw it. Also the rims are Bronze, I was trying to determined the same thign if the car was lowered or not. Standing next to the car it seemed that the car was stock height.

Hmm.. Maybe they screwed up the calibratition of the speedo by going with such tall rims and tires? That they have their own speedometer (Electronic)

then again I could be full of it

The Sketch I mentioned before I'll try to get another one soon I'll be calling them today hopefully.

turn the brightness on your monitor up a bit - they are definitely bronze - albeit dark bronze
