I like it, except for the lower lip (front) looks like it would hit everything if you had your Z lowered at all.
I found this other company's "wide body kit" http://www.autodirectsave.com/bodykits/datsun3.htm
UGLY AS HELL! in my oppinion. And its freakin expensive!

Ugly is about the kindest description you could have offered for that thing. I see a guy rolling around here every now and then with that kit. Makes me want to cry. Z abuse... should be a felony.

Correction Bleach... back in '82, that thing was "totally Tubular to the max dude".


It may have also been called "Rad", "Totally rad", or just plain "Radical".

(for the really old school folks... in '77 it would have been called "Boss" or "bitchen")

They're customer service is poor. Myself as well as a couple other people have had trouble getting in contact with them about their products. They DID eventually get back to me though. I also asked them if they had any pics of their kit installed. Of course the answer was no, but they will post them as soon as they get the kit installed on a car. That was over a year ago and it would seem they still havent installed the kit on a car yet. Hmmm?

Anyways, on the topic of the other kit. It is ugly, and that's why they don't produce it anymore. Well that and the price. I guess that was just too much money to spend to make your car look like a garbage can.

If you want it to look that bad, just buy a Z31!

Oh come on guys. The Z31 ain't that bad looking. It's got an aero edge on the 280 and you can drop an RB right into one. Thats gotta count for something.

Nismo, you are truly my hero.

Hey, did you go to the Miller Motorsports Park deal at the Delta Center last night? It was off the hook.

Also, do you have AIM or some IM client? Seems like you're online as much as I am ... here anyway.

Negatory... I didn't go. Precious college homework takes a lot of my time. I do have MSN messenger ( nismopick@hotmail.com ) that I use at home, but I'm at work right now, so messenger is a lunch time special.
