Did you check the classifieds?

Here you go, this is the BRE tail spoiler Doehring has on his car.

I think a carbon fiber BRE rear spoiler would look awsome. Any thoughts? Justin

That prototype is ugly... especially the front end. I think the 350Z is a great looking car. Although, to me it never really reinvents the Z as a small, light sports car capable of playing with the *big guys.*

Just thought I'd give you a guys a sneak peak at what I found. The Mother of all GT-Rs Check out the limited edition Nissan Skyline GT-R Z-tune set to debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon on January 14. BY PETER LYON (Car and Driver) January 2005 If you thought the mighty Nissan R-34 GT-R was dead and buried, think again. Nissan’s racing arm Nismo has resurrected the phased-out Skyline for one last blast. Only this time, they’re not stopping at half measures. Unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon this week, the 500hp GT-R Z-tune is not only the most powerful GT-R ever, but at $170,000, it’s also the most expensive. Why did they make it? Simple. To show what's possible. And when we hinted at any relation to the next generation GT-R due in 2007, Nismo staffers started sucking through their teeth and looking skywards. One thing is for sure. The 2007 GT-R's sticker price will be around half that of the Z-tune but pump out nearly as much power. Leaning heavily on 15 years of racing experience with the R-32, R-33 and R-34 GT-R’s, Nismo engineers have created the mother of all GT-R’s. Looking like a GT-R on steroids, the Z-tune has been fitted with CFRP lightweight aeroparts including the front bumper, hood, front fenders Nismo increased the stock twin turbo 2.6 liter bore to 2.8 liters by employing the block from a 2001 GT500-spec GT-R race car, and then further refined and reinforced just about every component inside. It gets race-spec forged pistons, conrods and camshaft, a large titanium exhaust and two oil coolers as well as the heavy duty IHI turbos fitted to the class-winning GT-R in last year’s Nurburging 24-hour race. And with an upgraded ECU, that gives the Z-tune a respectable 500hp and 540Nm of torque with a strong focus on low end response. To handle those extra herbs, Nismo employed a special heat-resistant Super Coppermix Twin clutch that was developed to cope with power up to 600hp. Incorporating a fully reinforced chassis, this GT-R also gets SACHS 3-way adjustable dampers, once again from the GT500 car, and huge mono-block 6-piston Brembo calipers with 365mm race rotors. Now depending on where you wish to drive your Z-tune, you can either have it delivered wearing stock Potenza high performance road tires or semi slicks, which are both shod on 18-inch LM GT4 GT500 rims made by Rays. Inside a specially fitted 320km/h speedo and titanium gear knob hint at what the Z-tune is capable of on the track. When you consider that Nismo are only making twenty Z-tunes, yep 20 only, you’d better get that cheque book out quick smart. Because they’re already taking orders. A Nismo staffer told us that one Brit and one American had already signed on the dotted line. Add freight from Japan and insurance, and you won't get much change from $200,000.

With you saying that you have no experience in constructing carbon fiber parts how are you too see to it that quality parts are to be built? :stupid:

To my knowledge the panel was a black or greyish colour.

Yeah, too annoy the rest of us

I'm with Alfadog - Bonnet mirrors are so suiting to a Z

Thanks for the article it was a good read :classic:

The Ford Mustangs, And Chevy Corvettes were selling for more than the Ferraris for the simple reason that the mustangs that went on the auction where really rare like the Shelby GT500 (sold for 240, 000$). The Corevettes went for big bucks as well because they were the rarer 427 Corvettes (one car sold for 140, 000$ but I believe it had been owned by someone increasing its value). The Ferrari built cars didnt far so well because they were all 2 + 2 exemples which have never really been considered a *real* Ferrari. The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona sold for around 60, 000$. The other Ferraris there were the 550 Barchetta 180 000$, 355 Berlinetta 100 000$ and the 360 Modena race car 100 000$.

yeah I wouldn't venture into that either... It doesn't even look like you could use that as a parts car. I'd let that one go...

Unless building a hardcore race car where weight is very essential, I wouldn't put all thoses expensive carbon fiber parts on my car - the car would end up looking like... you guessed it rice :sick: Just my 2 cents Justin
