Project: Mothra
 

I wanted to give Z enthusiasts a look at a project a Houston Nissan dealer is doing. This will be one of the cars tuned by Smoky Nagata next month at Import Reactor and will also have some incredible Top Secret parts on it. They dropped the engine yesterday for the first mods and it's already starting to look sweet underneath. This one will get the Powerhouse Amuse body kit as well. So, the outside will match.

They just signed up as a forum sponsor, so expect some progress reports coming soon. I think anybody who loves Japanese performance will really love this car. It is going to be a track monster/show car like no other.

Check out the facebook for some photos here:

ceramic?

I think it is ceramic coated.

What dealer is it???? It would be cool if it were the Bakers over at Baker Jackson.

Per the Facebook page it looks like it is Baker-Jackson South.

It just so happens it is...but I think you knew that. They just became forum sponsors, so I expect an official announcement in their section soon. I bought my Z there. Great experience.

An official Web site is coming, but it's under construction right now. From the Mothra facebook page:

Welcome to // Project: Mothra //. A stock Nissan 370Z is undergoing a metamorphosis to become the ultimate of its kind. It’s as much an offering to legendary Japanese tuner Kazuhiko "SMOKY" Nagata, as it is an exercise in using only the best components in the world to allow the Z to reach its ultimate potential.

What will shock most in the tuner-car community is that this transformation is being done by a Nissan dealer – Baker-Jackson Nissan in Houston. Smoky Nagata http://www.topsecretjpn.com/smoky.shtml will tune the car himself. His Top Secret components, many previously only available in Japan will accent its performance. And the Powerhouse Amuse http://www.webamuse.co.jp/z34/index.html body kit, with its signature wing – the inspiration for this beast’s name – will alert everyone that this is no ordinary Z.

Become a Facebook friend of // Project: Mothra // and watch her as she’s built. Get info and updates on ordering nearly-impossible-to-get Top Secret components for your own car through BakerJacksonNissan.com. And to any track challengers out there: fear the Fairlady as she transforms into a screaming monster capable of laying waste to an entire city.

hummmm...

Ha thats funny! I know the Bakers. I went to school with Brad Baker and played soccer with him. He is the general manager at the south location. I got a good deal because of them.
His dad drives a fixed up GT-R and he is mostly at the north-west location cause he is the GM there. And no I did not know it was them that was doing this car, its a small world after all right.

In for more looking great :tup:
