Top Secret 350Z
Top Secret keeps building sick cars, all whilst it breaks our hearts by not letting us have any one of them. We've tried more times than we can count to ask Nagata-San for a testdrive, but he's usually too busy tuning engines. You see, before the engines leave the shop, Mr. Nagata tunes every one himself. That's more than many other top tuners can say for themselves. That may be why you'll be hard-pressed to find a better all-around Z33 anytime soon. If you do, feel free to let us know. For now, you best bow down to Top Secret.

The thing about that wing is 1) JDM cars like to go with GT style wings. 2) Those wings are practical, but at speeds higher than 90mph. They may be an eye sore, but those cars are never daily driven.
The artical and GREAT.. tell you how to achieve given HP's (such as 300, 400, 500, 700) on different motors, including our stock motor. Everyone should go out and buy it!!

<-- was gonna do a Gloria swap in my old infiniti i30 before I sold it... I wonder if the VQ30DE's internals are the same as the 35's? Think they will take a Gloria turbo safely?

Why that wing? Does it really function better than others?

I would consider this a real car if it had a REAL 350Z engine inside of it. Sorry, but this car has dissapointed me as Top Secret decided not to use what was given to them and opted for something else.
This is my personal feeling with all tuners who swap out a VQ35 engine for something else. It lessens the car and it is not a true Z33 as some would be lead to believe.
Yes, Top Secret's car has a nice body and frame, but it lacks in being a complete 350Z...
Well, for starters, the engine's not even a VQ35; it's a VQ30 out of a Nissan Gloria

I don't really hold it against Top secret for taking out the engine. They're known to swap all sorts of motors. They have Skylines with VQ's in them. Supras with RB's from a Skyline. It's really a frankenstein tuner plant.
They developed these Z's so long ago, that they went with whatever gives the Z the most bang. I believe their white Z is still rocking a VQ35DE and some major R&D is still in the works. They just got ahead of themselves and wanted to be the first to make a beast out of the Z.
love it.

I picked up that mag. Ever since I saw the original pics that GodZilla posted a while back I have been waiting for it to appear in a magazine.
Those 20's look great (all though I wouldn't rock'em) The gold looks sweet. Only color that I have seen on a Z that looks as good as Brickyard....
