Here is another pic of the street.

Sorry I don't have a better shot of that rear bumper. That pic posted was the best pic I got.

I'll get some new pic as soon as the weather clear up.

You can order the steering wheel from Japanparts in Tokyo.

As already quoted, you will lose your cruise buttons, but it does look really sweet...

Nocturnal - Too full blown for my personal taste, but lovely job all the same. Be careful in those narrow streets, doesn't look like the other drivers have much to worry about damaging

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

ok i was just told by a vendor its not possible to get steering wheel imported, due to the fact that the Steering wheel is sold as an assembly and contains an Airbag Airbags are technically an explosive (hazardous cargo) and can't be posted, couriered, or freighted Internationally.

Oh well, i bet the price on this option is at least $300 in USD and then the cost to import. I can get me 1 nice race seat in the U.S for that.

And i bet the diameter is similar to stock. but that would have been sweet.

U.S. 350Z have cruise control? I never knew that!

Yes, Air bag is an dangerous cargo. I remember I was at a VW dealer before I got my 350Z and they had to ship a faulty Air Bag back to the factory. So we put the airbag against the wall and blow up it before shipping it back...oh what fun.

Actually, if you check the jap website...it was a $600 core exchange options from the factory, this was not a cheap options, and I have not yet seen another Fairlady with it yet. I guess Nissan was out to make some money on this for sure.

I think the size is a tad smaller then the normal 350mm, but not yet a 300mm steering wheel...probably a 320mm if you ask me. Good enough for a nice grip. I probably wouldn't want it too small because the steering wheel get heavy with 20" rims in the front.

Love the front, love the sides... But the rear bumper has "too much going on". It looks like you have to have the Veilside exhaust to have this bumper, correct? What were the gains like on that exhaust by the way?

I don't like spoilers like that - I'm more into the 3-piece-carbon-fiber spoilers, like Veilside's universal c/f spoiler. The hood looks like a "must" for this kit too, although I would've gone with the version 2 - the version 3 has one vent too many

Good looking kit. I envy you :P

cougar0102: You don't have to have the Veilside Exhaust, but I have to say they pretty much designed the rear bumper to run with it, so I would say get it if you get the rear bumper.

As for that rear being too busy, I actually thought it was okay. It is busy enough to look crazy, but then it isn't like "hole-ly" or anything like that...so it works for me. But then thats just my style though.

The spoiler is really depend on the taste. I think the version 3 spoiler is to make it look like a 911 GT2, while the 3D carbon fiber wing is more of a track look. Both are nice, and equally expansive.

Thanks for the comment though.

scottjua: If you are talking about the "Roadrunner", the one that goes "Beep Beep" and run really really fast...he is my Hero. :P

Thumbs up LOOKS GREAT!!!

HOLY SH**!!! That looks awesome!!! I've been thinking about this kit for some time now. Out of all the kits that are out there, this is the one that I picked. How was the fitment, did you do a lot to make it fit properly? If and when I do get this kit, I was only planning on getting the fronts & back bumpers and sides. Do you all think it would look totally cheesy without the wing, hood, spoiler and wheels?

I love it.....everything about that kit. The wing is a little big, but does look good.

Excellent job!

Default You have the most car on Macau

It's very stunning. And in Macau..

You must be very proud, and very scared to get it scratched.

It is beautiful.

Cheers Amy -

P.S. Mine is stock.

Honestly...it looks very expensive, but the style of the rims and the wing just don't match up with the car well.

Great looking car. Does the rear wing get in the way of viewing thru the mirror? Is it attached by bolts or tape? What is the price for the spoiler?

Thanks for the comment.

Honestly, this kit require everything. You want to get this kit, you got to get the hood, and you got to get that giant wing, or else things will look out of place. You CAN go with a different rims, I just choose to do it all from Veilside.

I REALLY need to get some video clip, the car sounds out of this wrold. Especially the little poping back fire noise when decelerating...

I didn't install this body kit. Veilside in Japan did all the install work and the car was ship to Macau like so...therefore I am not sure what hold up what. The fit is pretty good, nothing is OEM, but the problem seems to be very slight in this case. The install job was done well.

The wing doesn't get int the way of the rear view mirror too much, but we don't really see much out of the back stock anyways. I am not sure the price, I think it was about $850 on the Veilside USA website.
