Here's the kit in question

 

Dayamn!!!!

 

Ooh, me likey. Where do I get one of those?

 

GAY!!! stop trying to make your s130's like the s30's

 

Click on the link.

yeah... it's not like S30's and S130's look similar...

 

i know the s130's look like crap compared to s30's

 

Ugh... let's stay on topic eh?

 

yeah, everyone knows the z32 is the best. duh.

 

yeah for retards with one eye and a missing leg.

 

Dude... seriously.

 

jealousy must suck .

 

when did tof turn into a *****?

also, the G nose was made for the S30 as well, so actually. they arent tring to look like anyhing but a Gnose car. and teh Z32 does ****ing rock equally as hard as the S30. only car that truly sucks **** for one eyed deusch wiesels is th Z31 (sorry E)

 

Says the guy driving the z31 - the bastard child of the Z cars!

 

Hey man, what have I said about bashing 280zx's in a 280zx forum? If you want to bash them, go somewhere else. And why would we want to make our S130, look like an S30? We have the 280zx, because we like the way it looks. And it is the Z, that we prefer the most. Well some of us feel that way. Anyway all said, if you want to bash them. Go do it somewhere else please.. And thank you for your cooperation.

 

I would be all over it. But the problem is...money right now. I am broke, and trying to get a job. But this kit would be perfect for my Decepticon 280zx. Hopefully this will run a while. Long enough for me to get some extra money. That is a good deal also to boot.

 

Other than a one piece fascia with an integrated air dam, I don't get it? Does it extend farther forward than the stock front end? If so, it doesn't look like it does by much...

What's the goal here? Is it better aerodynamics or just "cool" factor?

Not hatin' but not quite understandin'.

 

if nothing else its another alternative to the currently available s130 front end kits. Can't have too many styling options for a fantastic car.

 

I certainly can't disagree with that, but I guess it's the gap between the hood and the fascia that's bothering me. It seems to be uneven, but that can be solved by a good body man and I'm definitely not lovin' the paint scheme so that may be putting me off.

 

I would be totally interested, except the price is over $500 so no way in hell.

 

yeah whats up with that gap it progressivly gets bigger the more towards the center you go

 

I like the clean look that it provides, 'cept the noted gap at the center. Five bills isn't that awfully bad considering what you could spend for a good bodyshop to make one of the other front dams look like it's supposed to be there.

 

$8100 bucks to start producing these? DO the original "investors" get a piece of the future action on these? And by the way, way to "China" the buy one and "reverse engineer" it. Anybody think about the legalities of that? Not trying to be an ***, but ...

 

There may be legalities, but I can't see too much happening with it. Someone in another country sues someone in the US for reproducing a product that original manufacturer did not make available to the people in the US.

 

Let me assure you that any fitment issues with the original airdam will be fixed when it is fitted to my car before a mold is made. We will do our best to make it is as close a fit as possible for a stock ZX. If you have any doubts about the guy making these, go look for 280Zone at Hybridz, he has been selling cowl hoods for s30's for a while now and has had very happy customers on that board.

 

280Zone is not asking for a deposit from anyone before he starts making these. He is just looking for committed buyers before he starts spending his time and money on this project.

As far as the legality issue; we have had a distributor contact AritaSpeed to arrange the import of these pieces into the US, we had 15 orders lined up, and they straight up refused to work with us. I do not think they will be too concerned with the loss of market share in the US, provided that they have no interest in exporting here anyway.
