Alfadog Posted August 1, 2003 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2003 Hi Just saw this front for a ZG the other day and thought it might make a nice topic. There's at least one other front kit for hte ZG I know of... maybe someone can post it? What do you think of them? Personally, I think this one looks a bit odd...

Mr Camouflage Posted August 1, 2003 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2003 The top part is ZG, the bottom is a standard air damn like the ones i've seen on loads of american 240z's, but without the brake cooling air intakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted August 1, 2003 Share #3 Posted August 1, 2003 Not sure I can say I like it at all. I love the Gnose as im sure alot of you know and I think this defeat the purpose of it. The gnose it meant to make the car sharp looking adding that makes ugly to me. I've attached the one i like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav240z Posted August 1, 2003 Share #5 Posted August 1, 2003 which one the one i like or the one alfa posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v12horse Posted August 1, 2003 Share #6 Posted August 1, 2003 I like the one alfa posted, but there really is no need for these airdams on the G-nose as far as aesthetics goes because it looks so radical anyway. I personally like one of the orginal style G-nose's with no airdam. This is more my style.

Alfadog Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share #7 Posted August 1, 2003 Agree with Ben, stock is way better than either of those two pics..... but I still think there is room for a front airdam that looks good on a ZG..... just a pity they'd sell like 3 of tem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted August 1, 2003 Share #8 Posted August 1, 2003 So true original does look great where did you get the picture Ben I don't see many ZG's in red at all. Also your avatar has a real nice looking Z have you got more photo's I'm just a sucker for the rear wing and flares . http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=284&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=283&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 Same airdamn but as my other one above but I like this one alot.

HS30-H Posted August 2, 2003 Share #9 Posted August 2, 2003 Did you know that the original ZG underpanel was equipped with holes for an extra lower spoiler? Mine has the holes and they are right on the rear trailing edge of the lower underpanel.When the ZG model debuted in Japan, the Factory had already been developing different types of extra front lip to control airflow around the front of the car. The Works race cars then started using the wider Overfenders and the additional front spoiler panels that went with them. Having the holes in the homologated ZG model, and offering the parts to the general public through the Sports Option lists, allowed the Factory race team to use them and still conform with the rules. Eric B's pic of the white car at Daikoku parking area is an example of a street car using a replica of the Works "Type B" front spoiler for the ZG - but its not fitted with the wider Type B Overfenders that would match it ( that's why there is a gap between the sides of the spoiler and the front Overfenders ).The "Type A" spoiler was more dainty, with round holes and a more sculpted flowing look, and matched up with the Type A Overfenders which were mid-way between the stock ZG type Overfenders and the super-wide Type B Overfenders.Over the years there have been many attempts by the aftermarket to add on to the stock ZG panels, and not many looked as good as the genuine "Works" efforts.To my mind, fitting something actually designed by Nissan is always preferable to something designed by an outside company. The "Works" race parts, and the Sports Option accessories that Nissan offered in Japan during the early Seventies, have an extra appeal to me - and it always feels "right" to fit them to the car.Alan T.
