Well having finally waded through the masses of Body kit aero parts available for the Z I have finally settled on the following combination: Shine Auto Nismo V2 Style front with Carbon Lip and Carbon Canards Espirit Side Skirts Espirit Rear Diffuser Power Enterprise Rear Wing We placed the orders with the respective suppliers and they are now here just in time for the good Weather and mainly JAE. Once the parts were unboxed I decided to have a go at test fitting the parts to check the fit and the finish of the parts. The side skirts were a little Tricky but once fitted using the fitting kit provided they are an extremely good fit and all the gaps are even. The rear was also a little tricky and required a bit twisting and pushing to get it to go over the OEM bumper but again once in place it is a good fit. I will however need to trim a little bit of the rear to make room for the RS-R end cans. Then it was on to the Shine Auto Nismo V2 style front bumper. I had thought this was going to be the most difficult part but it turned out to be the easiest. The Standard bumper come of real easy and was off in around 15mins we then test fitted the bumper on the car and everything looked great even at the intial stages it seamed a great fit. There was marks on the bumper where to drill the holes and we simply used all the stock nuts, bolts and brackets to secure the bumper in place, simple as that. Anyway here are the in progress pictures. I should have some paint on the car by the end of the week can’t wait!! Thanks Kevin

Should be fitting some Cobra Misano's in blue and Black Alcantara with the carbon backs should work a treat! Kevin

£40 for the pair. I have two sets in stock for next day delivery. Thanks Kevin £40 each side or for the pair?...ie £80? cheers

Not seen any companies doing these yet, although I think they would look cool!

Thats what I am fitting to my Z! I am going to Cobra in the next few weeks so they can use our car to develop some "Z" friendly sub frames. Hopefully the whole comunity worldwide will then be able to benefit! Thanks Kevin

Yeah, I really need to get around to updating the site with those prices. The prices for the bits you are after are as follows: Carbon Door Handle inserts - £40 Instrumentation Meter Pannel - £85 Electronic Window covers both sides - £155 Gaiter Auto or Manual - £95 Hope that helps Thanks Kevin

Hi The door handles inserts are £40 for the normal carbon. We also do them in silver carbon £55. Thanks Kevin

The kit fits straight on, no sanding or triming required, they are extremly well made. Kevin

A few more pic's: Thanks Kevin

Got tempted by a few of the parts we hold in stock and got carried away! LOL. The dash was looking a little taty in my 03 Import so I decided to give it a refresh it with some carbon parts rather than buy new OEM Nissan items. Wow what a difference it has made. I think the standard dash looks a little plastic and maybe lets the Zed down a bit when compared to other marques. Well the dash now looks fantastic and is a real feature of the car. The quality of the kit is tremendous and uses real Carbon fibre not just cheap printed items. It took me around 3 hours to fit the parts you see in the picture’s and was a little fidley, but I am a perfectionist and it had to be right! The fit and finish of the kit was spot on and there are no ugly gaps or uneven angles. While I was on the carbon theme I decided to fit some Varis B Pillar items, again what a difference such a small part has made to the exterior of the car. I have also acquired a Varis Radiator cooling Panel for the engine bay to start my engine dressing. But have I stopped there, hell no, bring on the Varis bonnet and rear trunk!! I think carbon fibre is one of them Marmite things you either love it or hate it, but it get’s a big thumbs up for me. Just need to see if I can stretch the budget to get some Carbon backed cobra missano’s to complete the interior and finish of the carbon detailing, not to mention reducing the 350z kerb wait which is my ultimate goal! Thanks Kevin

Well the RRP would be well over 3k for the Racing 6 Front setup but I can do them for £2995 to club members. Just waiting for all the shocked smilies! I need to know Red would compliment my wheels nicley

LOL you don't want to know! They are definatly the designer name in braking!

They actually come in Red, Silver, Black, Gold and of course Blue which is their corperate colour which is why thats the most popular. Thanks Kevin

Enjoy Thanks Kevin

More: Thanks Kevin

Oh yes the bad boys have arrived! Seams a shame to fit them to the car they would be far better in my living room LOL. Having said that, seeing them behind the Volk rims is just pure car porn! Could't resist fitting them to the car they were on within 2 hours of having them delivered. I was worried they were'nt going to fit at first as there is literally a few mm's between the rim and the caliper. Im pleased Volk did there home work when specifying the offsets to clear the Racing 6 Caliper. Followed the bedding in procedure included in the kit then it was off to the twisty roads to give them a proper test drive. All I can say is WOW these things certainly stop! I hit the brakes so hard the contents of my boot actualy ended up in the front of the car. I can brake so late coming into the roundabouts and junctions its unbelivable, I just hope I don't get used to it and jump into my girlfriends Yaris and leave it too late! Can't wait to hit the track with the car now, just need to get the blowers fitted for a bit extra oomph! Enjoy the pic's: Kevin

Mixed response then Thanks for the comments guys

Hi guys, Just in time for JapFest, Rays kindly got us their latest design, the GT-F. First set we've seen on a Zed, we really weren't sure at first but they are definitely growing on us to the point where I think they look really nice now. What do you think? Regards, Gaz.

Good news Allan

They sure are

Its to stop people nicking our photos, honest Zedrush > I meant to say it was 370 at the wheel wheels not at the crank (figures quoted by PE - we'll soon see when we Dyno it) Gaz.

Well here is phase 1 of my planned mods for the Z. As I would like to get best use of the Z during the summer months I am going to install the Power Enterprise kit on the stock engine and run it on low boost. When the winter months come I will take the car off the road and rebuild the engine with PE's 3.8ltr stroker kit. The Turbo kit should give me around 370RWHP on the stock engine running it on a low boost setting which will be enough to start with. The great thing about this kit is that it is bolt on and literally everything you need is included in the kit. I have never seen a turbo kit like it. It even comes with instructions which is a first for me! When ordering the kit to run on the stock engine I have specified the entry level 380cc PE injectors and the level 1 spring actuator. The boost will be controlled by the actuators rather than a boost cotroller so technically you should not be able to overboost the car by mistake and destroy the soft stock engine. The turbo's are dual ball bearing variants and should suffer very little lag so will be ideal on the street. Here's the pic's Thanks Kevin

Hi Ian, They look great. Sorry they took so long, the longest set of wheels we've had to wait for. At least they are rare, very rare Gaz.

Washed the car on Sunday morning then took it to a local Jap North East meet at the "stadium of light" in Sunderland where I took these pic's. It was the only Zed at the meet. Its totally standard at the moment but it won't be like this for two long. Thanks Kevin

Yep... The PE demo car in Japan now puts down 735 at the wheels at 1.4 bar boost Gaz.
