Gitty...can say that again, ball rolling...really?? I am serious about this kit, and by the looks of it not alone here. Still without distributor this means nothing. Per prev post I have spoke with Z-1 need to find company that can get these over here. GB idea broken down shipping sounds good to me would be pricier but still in comparisson to other kits and for love of this one well worth it to me. Time to get down to some solid numbers btw wtf is this post cmon man taking up bandwidth

i think the GB idea mentioned is going to be our only hopes. if some distributor here in the states were going to pick up on this kit i believe they would have by now. so if this is what we have to do, lets do it! it may be the only chance to get these italian pieces & then those in the GB may be the only people here in the states with these pieces! unless of course another GB is started again.....as mentioned previously, were not seeing the quality of the kit in person, a tad risky!.......the minel will be recieving kits soon in the UK so im curious to hear about the kit from him as well........

Agreed

LETS DO THIS, best bet is to have board member that can translate assist us with this and pricing and such, I agree we should wait til minel gets product and can verify quality. How bad *** would that be though to be the only select few with this bad *** kit in the state....can you say ENVY

I actually like the rear wing. It reminds me of a supra version for the 350z. Since it's not right to stick a supra wing on it. This is is much more proper.

I still really like the wing. Though it's a lil' cstly when you figure the shipping costs. If only there were a distributer.

mdracer76- add yourself to the list if you are interested in our potenetial group buy to help reduce shipping costs. This would be good for you too as I am in Arlington. Look a few posts back for the list if interested.

What you need to do is find out what the Shipping sizes are , that is what I have asked them, meaning 2m by 4m by 1m and where they are shipping it from , then phone UPS of FEDEX and ask them how much the freight will be you are also looking at taxes and if any DUTY charges as well. I am near Toronto and I am interested in buying these kits as well and these are some of the things I am working on..

Back on page 3, our question was answered: TAR-OX 12 piston!

I think I found a link to the Great Britain distributor......on the site they don't list the 350Z. but the 300ZX.......I'll look, I think I saved the link.....

Nice find EnthuZ. They look awesome, but the pads seem a little small even though there are 4 of them per.

I concur! They look like the pads I used on my old race car!

BUT....I do like the HUGE caliper!

Not sure I'd want to have to explore the combination of pads to make this truly WORK. Different leading versus trailing pads. Then again, I would love to be the one to test the possibilities!

A day at Blackhawk Farms cooking brakes & shreading tires does have it's appeal...........

Back to the kit>> are we gonna get a group buy rate on the pieces that we are buying as a group, or in buying it as a group are we just getting the shipping cost cheaper?

Speed-racing mentioned he would give a better price several posts back. Were still waiting to see this special price, Im assuming this price on top of a GB to save on shipping will be quite feesable.......

I have mixed feelings on this kit.

I love the skirts and the lip.

Not too sure how I feel about the spoiler. I like it at some angles, and not on others.

I REALLY dislike the bumper. It might just be how the exhaust tips are pretty much encompassed around by the mesh and the sub-par "cut job" of the mesh. I personally dislike any real obvious mesh like that on pretty much any car.

I'm also not too much of a fan of fiberglass, i'd perfer poly.

Other than those gripes, it looks fantastic.

thanks for the fast reply, i must have missed it.. anyway i assume they are avail. for the 350. as list prices are only for the 300zx. i'll ring em up on monday.

as far as the kit goes. yeah yeah i know its Italian, rare and beautiful. however it seems to be pretty much unattainable too. if your itching to burn 2k check out the espirtR2 kit. for all those in love with the rear on this Italian.

You know you can buy pieces of the kit, you dont have to buy it as a whole
