[Z3DSL3D]

Hi i am an Australian Resident and was just enquiring as to where i might be able to purchase a ZG style front end for a 280ZX as i need a kit and i particularly like this one.

I think those are UK number plates, so asking anyone in Australia isn't going to help!

Found this website, I've emailed them about the g-nose, as I am interested too.

I'll post whatever info they provide.

"Other kits available : eg. G-nose conversion, Kaminari style front and rear valence."

I searched the galleries at the Z club (UK) and found the original shot of the g nose in question, along with some other beauties.

As far as I am aware, only ourselves and one other UK company have

access to the moulds for this kit. The problem would be shipping to USA

- fibreglass is charged on volume, not weight and shipping cost would

probable exceed th ecost of the unit. The price of the two piece G-Nose

front end is currently 302.50 GB pounds - equivalent to approx. $550 (US

dollars) at current exchange rate.

I've asked the approx. size of the box, and the possibility of bulk shipping. I am hoping that if several of us want this unit, we can have them sent together.

I have my fingers crossed, but considering it's fiberglass, I don't expect a shipping break.

Box size for shipping a single G-Nose is 185 x 70 x 50cm. Cost would be

approx. £275 (GB pounds). There is a chance that we could get two sets

into this box. At worst, two would go into our next size box at 185 x 80

x 50cm which would cost approx. £310 (GB pounds). Three units would go

into the next size box at 200 x 100 x 50cm for approx. £425 (GB pounds).

hey, now if we get a group buy on this, we can get like 5 or 6 packed in one big container and save some cash! or am i not understanding this right?

[Mr Camouflage]

What you need to do is approach a Bodykit company, (Like the ones that do the VR ferrari kit for the S30) and have them buy one, and have it shipped to the USA, so they can take molds and reproduce it. Though I'm not sure about the legalities involved, re copyright etc.

The alternative would be to get some foam blocks and carve up a blank, coat it in FG, and use that to make a mold.
