Carbon Galore; Z from Japan
 

Ran across this Z build that has more carbon than any other so far.. but the nice thing is it's done rather well. It's surprising with the amount of carbon used while remaining clean, but I'll let you guys be the judge.

Teaser first:

Need more!!!!

Is that a hole replacment fender or an add on piece to the bottom of the fender? Sorry off subject. Looks nice.

Looks like an overlay piece as they probably wanted to keep the fender's structural integrity while only cutting-out a section of the original fender for the vent itself.

Also, this I the Z with the carbon fiber headlight internals that members keep asking me about. I found this Z being built a few months ago while web-surfing the Japanese blogs, and they keep doing more to it over the months.

More pictures, jury is still out on this for now.

ive seen this before....theres a post about it around here somewhere

any info on the canaards?

Btw...that car has such an obscene amount of money in it...I think I see like $15k in that picture alone...

Oh and

You big tease.

No teaser required. This car has been posted b4.

meh, I threw up in my mouth a little bit, no thanks.

More pics of th rear!

too much carbon...

Aragosta coilovers?

YUM

I wish I could go back in time and burn down every place that has produced scissor door kits for other imports before they even had the chance to sell 1 set just so the 370Z could have them without it being "played out." I think they look proper on this car, to be honest. It must be the swoopy lights or something, but they just "go."

sadness what a waste of carbon fiber when u add all that weight from those doors...
lmao that doesn't make sense to me...
why spend so much money on making the car weigh less and add more weigh on doors...
?_?

There is little to no weight reduction in this car so I'm sure the doors don't matter. It's obvious it's for a look.
I like the wheels and I like the fenders/skirt.

Aragosta, CF BBS, Endless...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

blah I have more carbon fiber then that car and I don't have scissor doors, I do like the quad exhaust though

I love the wheels and BBK but that's about it. The doors are just awful.

Booo, you took the fun out of it for us. I guess I can't share all the pics on photobucket at once next time... what a shame.

Here are 2 more:

Yeah + 1 about the weight savings, a lot of it is cf overlay though as a show car I really do enjoy it!

-Scott

Seems like they just did anything and everything to this car (overkill)

WTF with the fuel door being so off in color?

Gullwing doors... :shakes head:

Mike,

You do realize you are on "the370z.com" forum? We take the fun out of everything and everybody as much as possible. No one is safe! ;)

:iagree: Not even vendors!

LOL. The CF car that weighs twice as much as stock. That's what the low-budget F1 teams do. They just carbon fiber wrap the parts instead of making them entirely of CF.

Carbon for ricer appeal, not for weight savings. Also the front quarter panel "vents" don't even fit right. At least blend them into the panels. Fail!

What lip is that?

Top Secret lip. Group buy anyone?

It is the Top Secret front lip.

Ooh GB if the price is right. Non-CF though, esp after looking at the CF-overkill in this thread...

Only comes in CF.

:( but I'm seeing a FRP and a CFRP version on 370ztune.com (though both use the same CF pictures...)?

All that money and it still has the base seats.

You are correct; it is available in either FRP or CFRP (Carbon with FRP structure)

-Mike

They look like MCR canards. More info here:

-Mike

In one of the earlier pictures it looks like they have a quad exhaust on a stock bumper with a rear add on. Anyone have more details on that? I really want an exhaust with the quad tips

Varis look into the future technology

:yum:

Judging from the pictures, it looks like another Amuse custom exhaust. There was another one floating around the370z before but I'm not sure if this is the same car. A custom system like that would probably run at least 2x the price of the regular Amuse systems.

If you have the budget for it, here is a once in a lifetime deal for a Zele:

Who ever gets that is pretty much guaranteed to be the only one in the US with it.

Some recently engine mods
Enjoy :)
