veilside is taking preorders on a New 300zx kit

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-16-2017, 09:48 AM

Those are really clean lines.

I'd love to see that car fully painted with better pictures.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 09-16-2017, 01:12 PM

i think that might possibly be the ONLY kit ive ever seen from Veilside that looks GOOD all the way around!!!

SlmdCpe · 09-16-2017, 02:02 PM

Anyone make similar high radius overs for S14 chassis?

Those are actually custom radiused. Spirit Rei fenders are in line with the factory fenderwells. Their frs-like body line does allow you to radius and still look subtle.

Sweet, thanks!

This will look great once its painted and buttoned up.

I said the same very pleasing lines and just feel of the kit can't wait for paint.

Im gonna go ahead and say this is turning out to be the best Z32 kit. So subtle but beautiful

simmode1 · 09-18-2017, 09:44 AM

Well well well... Look at Veilside bucking the Rocket Bunny trend.
It's subtle and tasteful but the only parts I really want are the front/rear bumper and maybe the side skirts.
Would rather wait for the PMZ-K vers 2 fenders though.

RB25GUY · 09-18-2017, 12:20 PM

^ although i am not a fan of the RB style Fenders those look really good on that Z

I agree, their version kit looks good from this angle.
But I'm not totally in love with how the front flares protrude so much.
I think they plan to smooth out that protrusion on their version 2 kit.

simmode1 · 09-18-2017, 01:03 PM

Speaking of Z32's...

anthony_240 · 09-19-2017, 03:58 PM

Not an s chassis but had to share ... when having just another lambo isn't good enough

That's super cool.

Is the S/C offset on the engine, or is the whole engine offset in the chassis?

Personally love this car, and the color. Love the Wonder kit, never seen it before this car.

"Why has drifting turned into NASCAR?" is the argument time and time again

Why do people idolize a bunch of rich japanese dudes from the 90's who are drifting like a bunch of novice drivers?

Did you see that 32 GTR & E30 M3? It was wallet racing then, its still wallet racing now. I can guarantee that if those guys had access to the stuff that we have now, they'd install/run the same parts.

youre young... thats why. youve come up in a VERY different culture of "drifting" and car modification. there are those of us who have 10+ years on you in this culture and honestly, modern day drifting is just ugly!

most of you younger guys dont realize that in early days of drifting, ANYONE could build a car and compete! and im not talking about little grassroots events, you could build a car to around 300-400hp and go compete with the big dogs easily! mind you, youd get your ass handed to you by guys rocking 200hp AE86s because of the skill level difference... had very little to do with the cars power level back then.

drifting now has basically become drag racing thru turns in the US. outside of events like Drift Matsuri and Final Bout, a good amount of us old guys dont care about drifting because its so different and just ugly.

*TheRealSy90* · 09-25-2017, 07:08 PM

Why the hate on newer and better engine management systems? You think if the stuff was round back when 3-400whp cars were all you needed that they wouldn't use it? Nothing wrong with making an engine last longer and run better.

I hear you, it has changed a ton from even when I started. I remember in 2005/6 when D1GP came here, and I watched that dude in the Ae86 take down Vaughn Gitten Jr. in the Mustang.. I'll never forget that! It made me want to get into the sport as soon as I could. It made me push to where I am today.

I know that I may only be 24, but my first event was at 16 in a near stock e30 that I mowed lawns and scrapped metal to buy... I saved up for a seat, helmet, BC Coil-overs. It had a stock motor, OE 2way LSD crappy stock hand brake, no angle mods, And was doing fast 3rd gear entries. Many good memories and lots of experience. I would NEVER go back to those days, not even to re-experience the newness of it all.

Just my 2 cents.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 09-25-2017, 07:18 PM

i wasnt referring to EMS on motors, i was referring to the fact that drifting is now dominated by cars that run ON AVERAGE 700-800hp now. its just dumb in my eyes... unless you have massive amounts of bank roll yourself or manage to pick yourself up some MAJOR corporate sponsors, your ass isnt competing!

drift matsuri and final bout are really where its at... cars running average 300-400hp (some even less), all of the cars look absolute tits (as they are required to), old school JDM livery and aesthetics everywhere, for those of us who dont like new school drifting... these 2 sanctions are where its at!

not everyone agrees with Formula D and Hoonigan crap... for those of us who prefer the early days of drifting, FinalBout kicks the hell out of anything Formula D can ever offer due to modern day influences, styles and trends! if 1000hp V8s in imports are your thing, then hey... more power to you. for those of us that still prefer 4 bangs, straight 6s and old school influenced drifting, we have our place within FB and DM.

*TheRealSy90* · 09-25-2017, 07:38 PM

And unfortunately FinalBout is all over. But I'm sure there are other events to take it's place. SuperD etc etc.

feito · 09-25-2017, 08:00 PM

Im fucking sick of seeing LS' and over-fenders/fender-flares on every damn car out there...
