Nice, little flashy for my tastes, but nice. Really, the main thing I like is the hood. I probably won't kit my car unless I have it for 10 years, but I could see a more aggressive hood. Right now, my hood gets really hot on my black car, would like to have a little venting on it, not too aggressive though. Would like to see a black car with a carbo-fiber hood, should match pretty good.

First, thanks for all of the compliment. I also appreciate the input of all the people who didn't like it as much as I did. I mean after all, NOTHING is perfect and everyone's taste, thats why there are body kit made right?

Now, As for cost. I really don't even think I should mention it, since everything was imported and have to be tax, and so on, the cost sky rocketed. Basically in short, I could of probably spend a little more and bought a brand new E46 M3, but then where would my style have gone, huh?

Yes, it is VERY FLASHY. I don't park it anywhere, and it is not designed to be a daily driver. I drive it when when I want to have some fun, it is great to hear that noice comming out of the exhaust at 3k-6k! That is purely a weekend driver.

I got the brake off one of the members here. 332mm in front and the one off brembo made 320mm for the rear. I would of gone with the stoptech 355mm front and rear kit, but then the rear rim have too deep of a dish to fit the stoptech kit. However, I think this Brembo front and rear works great for the car looks.

I got some extra stuff comming. 6000K headlight, JWT pop charger, chrome turn signal, just details stuff. But I guess this is as good as a car will ever get. This is definally the wildest looking car I have seen on the road.

I don't care much for the bodykit itself.......BUT that wing and that steering wheel almost made me cry they're so purdy.

It doesn't seem worth it to ugly up your car just to have it say veilside.

that was uncalled for, just because you dont like it doesnt mean you have to be a *****, veilside makes some of the best kits out there, let me guess your going to leave your Z stock and never ever mod it because your scared it will lose value

a little gaudy for my taste, but well executed, I really like it and I'm not one to go for riced out cars. It's clean, gorgeous and gaudy.

Tastefull rice, if you will.


Congrats on the stunning job. More than I would go for.....but I dig it.


keep up the good work, keep us updated, and please....give us more pics.

I'd like to see that kit with everything except change the wing to a Nismo.

The steering wheel is nice, but the wheels are a little too bling bling for my taste.

Yea, I have to agree, the entire package a tad bling bling. Again, not a good daily driver, but if you are looking for a weekend attention getter, it works just fine.

You can get the steering wheel here, probably have to have it custom ordered.

http://www.nissan.co.jp/Z/Z33/0207/OPTION/index.html

The MOMO is under interior section, , have to navigate using the status bar. Japanese people are not really good with English.

I will see if I can get a bit more pics as soon as the sun clears up. We are due for a week of rain here.

Here is a not so good pic, but it does show a little taste of Macau.

This is the Macau Tower, I think it is within the top 10 tallest tourist tower in the world. Don't ask me why they build it, there isn't really much to see.

Wow, your car is amazing. The pix are also high quality. That Momo steering is just set it off. And I'm sure the Veilside Teardrop sounds insane.

Perhaps you should consider a 6-speed conversion! I can't believe you did all that work to an automatic Z! The only excuse you have is if you physically can't drive a stick! But seriously, I do like the look of that kit - I've seen Micky's Z here in Jersey - in black, and it looks totally bad *** in person (not gaudy...and that's coming from a guy who isn't such a huge fan of body kits).

I would consider cutting off my arm or maybe even starving myself for 2 weeks to get that steering wheel - that thing is totally bad ***. My jaw dropped when I saw that - personally, I think that's the best mod you've done, BY FAR!

Did you have fitting problems with the kit? I know Micky said it was a real ***** - also, are you considering the fender kit?

ethan84ae:

I knew that question is going to pop up sooner or later.

I was prepared for it.

Let me get a few background on Macau. It is small, most of the street is small. We are pack with people, and everyone have at least one scooter. The street is full with barely any parking space. And not to mention we lack skill to fix car at any dealer (and as for the Nissan dealer, good luck trying to buy parts). So assuming if I did get the 6speed, and the tranny go down, good luck fixing it.

Aside from all the problem, I took a couple pic of the street. I say about 50% of the street in macau look like this. The other 50% is either wide open road, or even smaller. Most of the road in Macau is all 1 way. So imagine you are living in downtown LA, but you are not allow to leave. The only freeway you got goes from one side of LA to the other side, and it have cruve, round about, and what not in the middle of that freeway.

The fastest I ever went here was like 140km/h. Which is like 90 miles an hour. And thats gunning out of a round about in 2nd, taking all three lane on the exit (the only 3 lane road in Macau), and braking safely at a good distance before the next round about on that road. So you see...it suck for driving fast here in Macau.

I like 6speed too, if I am still in LA, I would get a 6speed for sure, no question ask. But here in Macau, while 6speed is still funner then Autostick, Autostick is just so much more practical. Not to mention I have to spend so much attention to the road and driving because alot of street is thight and god know who run out in the middle of the road on the next block.

Turst me, you can drive here, you can drive ANYWHERE.
