Thumbs up So finally it's here, the $65,000 NISMO 350Z-GT

Just check this out. It's just awesome.

http://www.nismo.co.jp/complete/z_s-tunegt/index.html

PS. Those long nose and the tails are for homologation purposes. The Fairlady Z (350Z) will replace the Skyline GT-R for GT Championship Races from this season. To improve the aerodynamics on the race car, Nissan needs to actually produce the similar aero kits on the production vehicles (its the rule). That's why the skirts look a bit awkward.

Those brake vents seem to be fake, but will be a real one on GT race cars, of course.

The engine is the latest S-Tune by Nismo. Some 300 hp, no turbos or S/C ... not that exciting when Central 20 could easily do 340 hp, also NA. Air duct and engine covers are carbonfibre.

Wheels are Nismo 19 inchers. A lot of mods on the chassis too. The new rear wing is angle-adjustable.

DVD sat navs, ETC (the EZ pass), and winter packs are also available for extra cost. They even have the "de-tuned" non-Nismo clutches and flywheels for amateur drivers. ha ha.

So, gentlemen. Tell me what you think.

i'm not feeling that kit, the front lip sticks out like a jewfish, and the rear lip looks like marilyn monroe's skirt...

and i love Nismo...

they should have just made a rear full bumper with their current kit, that would have been ideal.

..Damn, thats all I gotta say. Well, that and.. where do I get one or the parts to build one. That S*** is off the hook! The rear bumper is alittle wack, but DAMN lol. The intake looks plastic too! Man, I'd trade my track in and take a loss in a second to get that warranty'd from the factory. Sick engine cover too, and I'd imagine whats done to the engine is even sicker. I'm in.. gimmie the parts and Its on. lol

2nd impressions on the kit. I didn't notice how much they pulled the front out.. less excited about that. the skirts are fine, but those fake *** vents on the rear qrtrs? They gotta go lol. and I've already expressed my distaste for the rear bumper. All I really want is the performance to be honest w/ you, I think I'm just gonna get the nismo front bumper thats out now (shopping cart issue w/ my current bumper) and just run that w/ the stock splash guards, seems to have a cool look.. but where and how do we acquire the engine and rotors?

overall, i think the package looks good. A little over the top, like what does that protrusion on the rear bumper do, keep the exhaust dust away? With all the kits in japan, i guess they had to do this to be a little different from the rest. But the rear wing is fine, similar to others i seen and i really don't mind the longer looking front, sort of supra-ish.

You can get numbers like that now with your engine and a plenum.

Why impressed with that?

300 hp, i'm assuming, is RWHP... which a plenum will not be able to do. Only person on this board close to 300 rwhp, if memory serves, needed a plenum, pulleys, cats, exhaust, intake, cams and alightened flywheel... and only got that number with SAE correction

yea i agree that the wing is sweet. but why put racing seats in and still use the three point seat belt? kinda defeats the purpose of having them, except if your just going for looks. i wish i could read japaneese so i could understand what mods they put on their to get 300 rwhp.

No automobile co rates power to the wheels. I like everything but the bodykit and wing. That wing looks like the veilside? wing? I know I have seen that style b4. 65,000? Keep it.

its kinda cool.. needs some fine tuning though...

300ps = 295hp 350speedracer so no go on the power increase.. thats less than 10hp

rear bumper shouldnt be sticking out like that.. front one is fine.. those side brake vents would be cool if they are functional
