John Washington Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Very informative! Thanks for posting the photos. That's a very complex part with all the bonded in diverters and other goodies. It would be fairly involved to reproduce, but I'm sure it's been well engineered for cooling, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatorx Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Thanks for sharing those photos Alan - they give all of us with knock-offs a look at what we SHOUlD have. Those are beautifully made pieces, and show the myriad of modifications required in a cheap imitation. You get what you pay for ......

Pathogen Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 any progess being made on this? From what I have heard from everyone John Washington is a great guy to deal with and I am willing to pay more for a good kit and the quality we know we will get from you. I would love to see a Gnose Kit with ZG Flares and 432R spoiler. It would be nice the gnose was the same 5 piece design as the original so if part gets damaged you dont have to buy it all again. Regardless of as a package or single items I really hope you offer this for sale as I would rather buy from John then deal with Showcars or MSA.

BillZ260 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Price, functionality, looks all issues. Would be cool if you had some variations on the std gnose. I am interested though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preith Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 For what it's worth, Dave at Arizona Zcar has his IMSA GTU (G-nose kit) molds for sale. It's a bit extreme, but man does it look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaconsultants Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I talked to this guy that owns ArizonaZcar a few months ago and he would sell any mold for 6K but would sell all hi molds for 38k. He is not interested in doing any of the molding anymore since he has to much time invested in the machined parts. I have been trying to find people that would be interested in the body kit when you first open up their website (car in Yellow). The fellow said if I could find maybe 15 to 20 people wanting to pay about 2K he might be willing to make a run of that kit. I had found 5 others but I did not find enough. How about that as the kit or even some of the other mold parts. I hope this helps and check out the fiberglass parts he shows. http://www.arizonazcar.com Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrrrl Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Anyone have an update on the g-nose kits from John Washington? Go? - No Go? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'd be interested in some G-nose headlight covers as I'm sure others who already have G-noses would be. They are scarce. The trim ring is what gets expensive, but a lexan cover trimmed with chrome door-edge guard would look pretty good at 1/50 the price of a trim ring.

rusty260 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 yep put me down for a pair of headlight g-nose covers as well, if it ever goes ahead. they dont look right without the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Washington Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks for all who have expressed interest. Still have not run across a piece from which I can make a mold. Though I am still interested, my five-month-old takes just enough time that I'm not pursuing any extra projects right now...to say nothing of needing to spend the dough on diapers instead of prototyping. Plus, I am getting enough interest in a non-automotive product I've been developing that I may make good on my threats to sell and get out of the car stuff for a while. If anything develops WRT the g-nose before then, I will be sure to post back to this thread. Meanwhile, I don't check in very often so be sure to email me directly if you need a quick answer.

Mikelly Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Does any of our friends in Japan have access to the real deal? If so, What would it cost to get one sent over? What do they sell for over there? Are they still available at all over there? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAW Could new crome rings be made if someone who has a set let them be "borrowed" for a pattern? They can't be that difficult to copy....

NZeder Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Looks like you can still get the real lower part of the ZG from Nissan - however all the other parts are NLA ie headlight covers, buckets, centre, bumper and the hinges. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CP&Category_Code=s30_nismo_240z-g-nose http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=98520-N3256&Category_Code=s30_nismo_240z-g-nose However you can get hinges from John of http://www.baddogparts.com/bdp.htm I am very keen for a G Nose on my car. Looks like I might have to get the MSA one - feedback from anyone who has this installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Did you happen to see the winning bidder price one the new-in-boxes Nissan G-nose headlight covers with trim rings on e-Bay recently? $600! DAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That was a set that I had for sale. The buyer was a deadbeat so, they're back up on ebay. If for some reason they don't sell this, I'd be glad to offer mine up as a pattern. Bryan Dat240zg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
