See you guys at ZCON in September

 

Awesome pics!

 

hey does the license plate onthe red gtr says gojira or something along those lines, if so it was spotted here in tyler having some work done at dip tech, and as it looks under neath hood it looks like their work!

 

thanks for the shots of my red z...shouldve stayed longer...i was headed towards the freeway from campbell and saw a tent and some older 260's and 280's and some gtr's thought id stop by and check it out...

 

Nice pics, a good selection of different generations as well.

 

Does anyone know the make of the nose on the silverstone Z in these photos?

 

Great pics, that GTR engine looks crazy! The whole mini-car / stuffed animal thing is pretty lame imo.

 

It is a one of a kind kit made by Nissan. Actually I think only 3 were made and 2 were given to Mad Mike. The first was destroyed when a drunk driver hit him and totalled his car when he and his wife were driving back from ZCON 2008 in Cleveland.

 

Ah, so this is where all my mail order parts come from.

 

Thanks for the info....I think the bumper looks fantastic...Too bad there were only three manufactured. Please tell Mad Mike that if he is bored with the look, I'll buy the bumper from him whenever he's ready.

 

The rims on the red Z are sick!

 

man i wish i would have known about this, have no idea how it is that i didnt though seeing as how my dad works there...

 

It sure does look alot like the MSA Type 7 from bumper cover...

 

Nismo prototype. See you tomorrow

 

Luis, for clarification, the body kit on "EZ San" is made by Nismo originally for the Nismo 350Z Type S sold only in Japan in 2003 (note the two creases in the top front of the front bumper to match the hood creases before the bugled, smooth hood of the later VQ HR engines). Nismo made and sold only 24 Type S Z cars for JDM only that year, with Nismo-massaged VQs with extra power. An extra front bumper, side skirts and rear wing only, were popped for Mad Mike's car as a gift from Nismo. The first kit was destroyed by the drunk driver, as you note. When Mad replaced his totaled 350 with a new '08 350, he asked Nismo if he could get a replacement kit. Nismo pulled the molds off the shelf, popped an entire body kit, save for the intake grilles ahead of the rear wheel well openings, and made Mike pay shipping for it across the Pacific! The result is what you see in the pix, a unique, Nismo body kit that is the only kit on this side of the Pacific Ocean. I have posted pix of the rear of the car. Click on images for a larger size. HTH.

 

Thanks for the clarification

 

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing DFW.

 

Great pic...been wondering what the 18/19 combo would look like in the Nismo wheels...wasn't sure how it would look because the spokes are so much thicker on the 18" wheels...but it really looks great.

 

Here I had thought Mad Mike had gone full JDM again with his latest 350z...but on this latest car, I just noticed he has the US Nismo wing and sideskirts....were his last one (wrecked) was the JDM kit.
