Guest ahyc84 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 been trying to scroll around for a long time. no luck what kit is this!! http://www.hybridz.org/v8zmirror.jpg ya the one on the main page. It looks really hot. And it doesn't look like a hand drawn one. Looks more like an actual photo that's been PS'd anyways, if anyone knows, LMK!!!

CruxGNZ Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Since the begining of Hybrid Z, there has been at least a dozen people asking about the front end in that picture. I really wonder if that car actually existed at one point, or it was just someones imagination. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Looks like a stock Z with the stock lower valence and a spook type chin spoiler attached to the stock valence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 As Tim said, it's a scan from the Wangan Midnight Comic series. The actual car exists but the artist must have changed things a little to make it easier to draw. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yep...from Wangan Midnight (also a PS2 game) In the comic the car uses a 3.1L + triple turbo running on carburetors...yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The real one used to have blow thru turbo also. It has FI now. Multiple TB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooligan Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 hey, Tim240Z, what front bumper/valance is on your car? i think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Both from MSA Fiberglass bumber and 280Z airdam (no holes for turn sigs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Use the search. Check in the turbo forum. Lots of information on it. It's old school now, but it looks awesome and runs great... At full throttle. I was going to do at one time, but I'm doing a GT-R Motor now. Basicall, you need to pressurize the carbs using a box or plenum. You'll need a special fuel pressure regulator that raises the fuel pressure Above the boost pressure to overcome the psi of the pressurized carbs. That is for a blow thru system. Draw thru is simpler, but you can't use an intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You could probably get a similiar effect with the MSA front spoiler and a little lowering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rick458 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 are there any issues with the MSA air dam 50-1409 and rear skirt 50-1473 and side skirt 50-1461 fitment issues etc, funky painting characteristics etc..? I plan on pulling off the front and rear bumpers and running these pieces also is there anybody fabbing an inner bumper for those pieces?
