not too sound mean, but it looks terrible, imo. I'm sure it performs well, though.

From what I read, JUN just thinks the Z33 is not a purebred sportscar (due to platform sharing) and requires some tuning to perform. It's just a sentiment in directed to all the Japanese tuning houses modding the Z all-of-a-sudden, and the industry thinking that it's the next hot-ticket.

Jun's been doing it since the beginning. Like every other car, it requires a little work. I think their criticism is warranted.

Hehe I would be willing to do something like this so my Single Turbo can have more than a 2.5 inch downpipe.

Like custom fabbing your own downpipe? It can be done.

The Z doesn't look finished otherwise they'd be running all the JUN banners.

Yeah thats Fyrarms a moderator...They have some dicks for moderators...Z's mostly get no love over there unless its from non Supra owners...There are a few cool owners though...I was on a thread where they refered to the Z as a POS because one owner tried to run a BPU Supra...Also there is a few MKIII guys that are calling the 350z a POS lol....the nerve...

http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...00#post4856900

I tried reasoning with a little sarcasm mixed in but to no avail....Im the BS moderator over there lol..

Despite whether JUN likes or dislikes the Z doesn't really matter when its a customer's car thats willing to shell out the cash. The car is owned by my friend's uncle who has had a few cars fully built by JUN in the past.

The car is owned by my uncle located in Hong Kong. I didnt realize that its been out in several forums already or I wouldnt have made another post about it.

The car is AWD and has been in the making over 1yr now. Im not sure where the comment about where JUN didnt want to work on Z33's/Fairlady's or 350z's. When the last time I spoke with Mr. Koyama (owner of JUN), he seemed totally ecstatic about the project and has much respects of Z33's.

It has had shakedown passes at the Tsukuba Circuit in the video shown on JUN's website and yestarday made a full pass on the circuit. It will be shown in Tokyo Auto Salon's center main hall coming up and most likely competing in an event sometime late Jan.

It maybe brought over to the states sometime this year for exhibition and maybe a few Time Attack events.

I am in the process (still ) of bringing over the first full JUN project car by my uncle (Skyline R34) for Time Attack events this year. So we maybe able to see both Z33 and R34 sometime this year in the states
