Looking at MA Motorsports Facebook page, one of the older posts refers to the interior pieces being done by a shop in MA’s proximity.

2020 will be the 50th anniversary of the Z car. They better have something out by then. If they don't, I am flying to Japan to protest their stupidity. That is a promise.

For california z owners, wouldn't doing this engine change for a Z be a viable carb approved option to getting turbos?

OptionZero · 10-30-2018, 04:35 PM

If they sell this engine as a package, with wiring solution, SMOG certification and a factory warranty that bolts up to the stock tranny . . . hoooo boy thats a hell of a package

I would do that over a TT kit since i could drive freely on the street and have relative peace of mind, even if the HP/$ is lower than TT kit

Fast Intention's kit is about $10K for 500hp

I dunno if they can come at that pricing level . . . but i think even if it's more, it would be extremely appealing given the factors above

To be honest with you, for what my build is costing, I could have paid for a brand new NISMO TT car with cash if they offered it. I am too far down the rabbit hole now.

Looks like i was wrong about the wheels - those are Nismo LMGT4's (Omori Edition)

Curious if those are the standard 18 inch sizes or if they grew a set and made some 19/20's?

18"

Those aren't LMs... they look to be a version of the Rays Gram Lights 57CR, including the insignia on the bottom of the spoke by the lip.

cv129 · 10-30-2018, 10:17 PM

I really don’t understand Nismo’s thinking on the wheels and the suspension arms. The parts are just rebranded items that now carry a premium for having the word “Nismo”....

Lol I remember seeing a FB post from MA with the new Nismo arms installed, I was wondering who’s the sucker that bought those. Now I know it’s for this build, thank god.

Spooler · 10-30-2018, 10:29 PM

I beat they will be 18's. Looks like they will be hard to get and sizes will be limited which sucks. 18x10.5 or 18x11's for a square setup would be great. Doubt we get anything in a 19. I would like some 19x10's and 19x11.5's like I have on my car now. I need a set of track wheels.

Z1 said they are 18x10.5 square on the show car

I would need to look at their Instagram post again. I knew they were 18x??? 18's just look like crap on a Z. 19x10.5's would be much better. I have no idea why Ray's is very stingy with their wheel sizes. You gotta buy a big batch to get them made. Crazy.

Crap, I have been looking around and these will probably be the only ones you can run in an 18x10.5 square without spacers. I may have to nut up and get a set.
