I love the look of this body kit. If you're gonna change the smooth lines of the Z, might as well give it the hard lines/futuristic/aggressive look and this is by far the most aggressive looking widebody kit out there. The top secret one is decent, but costs 1-2k more. If you want to keep the smooth lines of the Z go top secret or Buddy club 2, for a great aggressive look I'd get the Mastergrade one.

Stupid to have intakes like that on a car that is not mid-engined.

Lose those phony intakes and its not too bad though!

I think what you are calling intakes are actually vents for the brakes. They allow direct airflow over the brakes.

I think it's hideous but if someone else thinks it's the cat's pajamas, more power to 'em.

No they are not vents for the rear brakes. They are non functional wanabee midengined rice holes.

No one even has their front vents hooked up to the front brake cooling ducts.

I think there is only one company making these ducts for the Z (5Zigen) and they only make them for the front brakes. I doubt there are two members on this forum that have them.

The rear brakes dont even generate enough heat to warrant a gaping intake of that size. Might look cool on a midengined car but they make the driver of a front engined car look like a poser!

Well, what did you expect? It's there because they had to match the lines of the body kit, which coincidentally doesn't match the lines of the 350Z at all.

I think it should stay EXACTLY the way it is!





(Not for sale to the public)

Side note (joust75): N-tech Engineering also has a brake duct kit for sale, not nearly as complicated (or expensive) as the 5Zigen though.

I like it because it's original...but it has just a little too much going on and the filled in area behind the front fenders had to go...

You called them air intakes for the engine, regardless of whether they work or not they are not air intakes for the engine. Even if they are fake vents for the brakes that's what they are. You saying they are air intakes for the engine is what I was correcting.

You are wrong, I am right.

How do you like THAT for bringing back a dead post! Ah HA!
