Heya Noah,
I'm not sure that anyone really makes an replica of the GT300 or GT500 bodies. From what I've seen the real ones are all Dry Carbon Fiber... insane.. every body panel is changed.
Are there some that come close to the look? yea. INGs new long-nose kit comes to mind...

It seems as if everyone is mis-understanding you.
You don't want any replicas or bodykit for your Z. You just simply want to know who makes the actual body for the JGTC Z's, correct?

so in short they are made my racecar engineers either in house by nismo or contracted out by nismo
they are custom fabrications made to meet certain super GT specifications. actually those super GT cars are basically race cars not just Zs with extreme body kits. they share the doors and the roof line of the Z but thats about it.
gt300 is more of a modified production z. kind of like our grand am race series
all the GT500 Z cars including calsonic hasemi use the same spec body as the nismo cars.
i would say think NASCAR but thats not the best comparison since all car manufacturers use almost the same template body shell. but you get the idea

yes...thank you for the clarification I want to know who makes the real kit. I figured they we're contracted out but I have seen NISMO stamped on the back of GT500 fenders. Let's say I wanted to privately build a race car...for personal track use, was willing to cut and install tube chassis as well as anything else necessary...would I ever be able to publically buy one? or a GT300 or GT500 car??? I have seen these GT500 fenders for sale at a NISMO auction. HMMMMM the puzzle of the century!!!
