I dont know about ruining the lines of the car, I think it still flows nicely and if you compare a 300zx next to it, it shouldnt be any longer.

Im going to be selling this kit by the way and my next kit will be an Aston Martin One-77 replica, interior and exterior.
My main goal is to offer a car with sexy super car curves but for a price that most people can afford.

What the fuck is that? You paper mache your car?

Obvious troll is obvious.
Even if it was out of paper mache does that make the design not good enough for you?

The "box" I generally like to drive is a swedish weapon of destruction.

I honestly can appreciate the time you're putting into this. Bodywork is not my forte and I will give you props for putting in the time. But personally, I do not like it at all. I have nothing against the 300zx front end.

As far as making a car "look" like a more expensive car. That is something I am completely against. Drive what you got and be proud of it, there's a car for everyone at every price level.

Other then the NSX, most cars under 50k are pretty generic looking to me, its just how I feel.
I dont wish for people to want a replica for its status, but for its artistic beauty.

2002 Buick Rendezvous

Firstly its not a sports car, its what you want in the snow because it has 4x4?
http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHICLE/2007/Buick/2007.buick.rendezvous.20052656-396x249.jpg

Next it looks like one of the earliest Ford suv's (right when these class of cars started becoming popular), with a face lift... a hurting one. Finally, in the first picture, it looks like a constipated dog.


edit
looking over my pictures, there from yesterday... I think my cars front point needs to be lifted an inch or two to be level like before when I took off the fiberglass shell. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_aqdJkNjP_iM/TG9cWjyrO1I/AAAAAAAAAYg/cFqv6K0z8w8/s800/rrr.jpg

I should first say that a cars looks and over all body shape is what is important to me over any performance engineering.


Toyota MR2 - Its too small of a car, like a toy and where would you fit any bags. Also the curves on the car are very late 90's
http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/420/1821/1048410076_large.jpg

Toyota MR2 - Looks like a bug or frog of sorts, small enough to be a chick car... no offense ladies :D
http://www.analogstereo.com/images/om/toyota_mr2.jpg

Nissan Skyline GTR - all versions are too boxy for a sports car, put an NSX to any GTR and it will put it to shame. My mother owns a NIssan 240sx (s14) and I dont feel like Im in a sports car at all.
http://www.dragtimes.com/images/11783-1991-Acura-NSX.jpg

Nissan 350z - it has a very dull design and the front bonnet is too chunky... this car and Supra's front end look like they've been poop'ed out. No offense to Supra owners, there great cars.

240Z - Ferrari design clone, the Ferrari looks great, this design is great if you like replica's :p jk, I love the design but the car would need lots of work to make it a grand tourer like the ZX is.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_aqdJkNjP_iM/TICp384hDUI/AAAAAAAAAbo/2egZylIGAdY/fgg.jpg

Infiniti G35This rounded Skyline again will look like a sedan next to the NSX, and there are lots of them in town like the newer shape BMW's. Other then that I like them.

Toyota Celica This car tries too hard to look sporty, I wouldnt be proud to step out of my Celica to pickup a date. Like the Integra I photoshop-ed in my photo album, the Celica has lots of great potential and is one of the cars that I would consider building a kit around, just look at the Super GT kit someone made for it.

For me, bugeye WAGONS are my favorite. It's probably gonna be my next car.We all have different tastes, if we all bought the same style of cars that would make for a boring world.

just looks weird with updated front end but everything else the same...Perhaps knowing that its a 300zx underneath is the main reason but I will be looking to add a widebody in the future, one that will reshape the windows too.

Way to state the obvious there bud. But to put aesthetics before performance is a bit naive, even though I did it when I was younger. You're simply nitpicking the cars that underscore posted based entirely on looks, yet the performance potential on all those cars can be easily discussed. There are cookie-cutter cars out there, but the RS meet was a prime example of personal taste and style for similar cars.

I can see where you're trying to go with this, but it's a little too much for my taste. Redesigning a front end from scratch takes work, but it's a bit wasteful considering that I have no issue with the 300ZX front end. GabAlmighty nailed it for me, facelifts work for some cars, but for this one, I don't like it at all.

I think looks should come first and one can alway upgrade his or her suspension and horse power when its needed.

[Paul Walker] sounds like you really know your automotive design..

you should be at MIT or something[/Paul Walker]

your craftmanship and you dedication... gotta give you props for sure.

but as for your taste and design...? not my cup of tea

i personally think z32 300zx's look awesome just the way it is.

the design is very traditional 90's. so obviously it will look outdated right now.

the photoshopped rear end might help but you need to change the design on the door and a-c pillars as well.

otherwise it's going to look exactly like those japanese mistuoka kit cars.

Suspension/wheel upgrades are one of the FIRST things most people do their cars. It's the starting point for getting the right stance of a car (as far as that's concerned anyways), stock bodied or not. Yeah, you have an awesome bodykit, but what's the point if you're running 4x4 ride height and stock wheels? The Hall of Shame can prove my point on that. Mild upgrades are always available.

For "affordable" cars, I'd post up something like the Toyota M/JZX-chassis (ie. Chaser, Mark II-see classifieds for an example), but you're probably gonna nitpick the fact that it's a boxy sedan, despite having a 1JZ motor.

In my case, my Zed is stock height, it looks okay to me.
Sexy curved cars were being made in the late 70's, this Ferrari modified kit is sexier then 90% of the cars in Vancouver!

......

the photoshopped rear end might help but you need to change the design on the door and a-c pillars as well. The Zed is a beautiful car, the newer bumper makes it more modern too but I think infusing this Aston wide body would make it really modern and spectacular. I will be looking to make this set of kit for next year

if i pulled up to your 'aston martin' in my 4 door family car (300hp, which is regular for this day and age), i'd look at it, see that its CLEARLY not an aston (for one reason alone, there are windows on teh side of a car, so i can see in), the car would be all fart cannony, i'd laugh, you'd likely attempt a burn out to look cool... i'll just go about my day, probably outpaciing this 'aston martin' without even working teh engine

its a sad state of affairs when you think this is soemthing serious

for you - go for it, we can't knock your taste (you'll mature & will grow out of it... hopefully), but to think many other ppl, especially in vancouver where most ppl can ask their parents in asia for money, will buy a kit car aston... well, you're in for a lot of losses in teh coming years

Plus it would take many Asian dollars for an Aston 77, something around 2 million dollars.

RX8 is a good car.. but majority of the people out there arent a big fan of its design overall.. it consists of some a mix of curves, edges and some odd shapes.. not that im complaining about the rotary shapes.

i for one dont really like the look.... the updated R3 does look cool though.

late model FD3S RX-7's are really really nice looking cars.

You can pull your sleeper tactics all day but I doubt you'd be pulling in any girls in a speeding sedan. :D Also my ZX can be converted to the turbo version which can reach 100km in 5 seconds, never mind all the cheap mods that get me to 400hp for under $1000.

Plus it would take many Asian dollars for an Aston 77, something around 2 million dollars.

Once the kit is complete and I make some money, I will go national, I already have connections with a fiberglass builder in Japan (home of the ZX) who can clone kits for me and this in turn cuts shipping cost.

Now I need to think about commercials, I will need a volunteer with an SLR video camera (possible self career promotion) to shoot the car once its done. I envision the car ad to have the kit car ride slowly on Granville street at night with this song playing along.

[edit ;Turbo conversions start from 3k+ and are preferred for left hand steering Zeds with 4 seats (like my car) as they always came as a non-turbo off the factory, but in Japan most of their 4 seater Zeds are turbo off the factory.
My kit future widebody kit will work with the 4 seater (also called 2+2) because its a bit longer and even better proportioned in my opinion. The weigh distribution is also more balanced for handling and also who wouldnt love 2 small seats in the back.

If you want a 700hp Zed the cheapest way, its best to buy a turbo one and just upgrade it. ]


The turbo version is 300hp and for 1k one can get it to 400hp.
There is a 700hp upgrade pack for the turbo Zed at the following store, 5k for parts only.

A conversion can be reached many ways, but here is my run down on an average Joe's setup.

1 buy 2+2 Zed from Craiglist 5k
2 Find a competent Zed mechanic in B.C. and agree to a conversion sum
3 buy a "clip" (Zed part cars from Japan) and transport it to mechanic 4k
4 buy $1000 worth of parts for horsepower upgrade
5 pay mechanic for work ~3k+

400hp 2+2 Zed for 13k

or 8 grand for the conversion and upgrade alone if one already owns a non turbo Zed

Hey, I converted my old Nissan 200sx into a TT for under $400... mind you, it was already a single turbo and I had the second turbo sitting in the garage from a previous car... but the statement still remains. :p

That said, I blew an oil feed line to one of the turbo's without realising it while on a long drive and... kabloey. Good-bye engine.



The thing is that it's easy to buy the big major pieces like a turbo, FMIC and basic piping for under $1g, though it's most definitely not going to be reliable... the money wasters come in the forms of proper oil and fuel fittings, couplings, t-clamps (none of that worm gear shit), stainless braided lines, etc., etc. Oh, and don't forget rebuilding your engine to be able to cope with that extra power. Aaaaand either a TT ecu or a completely new stand alone system like Megasquirt.

Why do you compare everything to the NSX? From the sounds of it you only like fairly large, MR cars (with the exception being the Aston).

As far as why people don't do extensive body mods, well it's because it usually looks silly. I know there's a company in Japan that made S13's look like Cruella De Vils car (101 Dalmatians lol). In the end, by the time you made it look more like an exotic, you've still got a 90's Nissan interior and drivetrain...

Automotive design is the profession involved in the development of the appearance of motor vehicles

You are not a professional, and you are most definitely not developing anything....

Thanks did you comment on the cars looks yet?
My first design build turned out bad because I focused on keeping the car kit cheap without much modifications, and it ended up that the car looked cross eyed. No offense to cross eyed people

So you have never completed a project for yourself (at any quality), but fantasize about selling a quality product to other people. Posting all of this shit has only destroyed your reputation among potential customers. You're ruining a business that doesn't even exist yet.

Keep working, and pursue training under a professional. You obviously have a lot of love and dedication, but right now that's about it.

I believe in my car design and as for quality, in due time when the demand is right, I can offer Polyurethane kits and this will reflect a new price too.
I dont know what a professional can do for me but to offer capital so that I grow my business.

"Why do you compare everything to the NSX? From the sounds of it you only like fairly large, MR cars (with the exception being the Aston)."

Oh what do you find better looking then the NSX?

A lot of things personally, but that isn't the point. You were asking for things that look unique, yet you compare everything to an NSX. Yeah they're cool, but they're not the be all end all of cars. Personally I think the taillights look kinda shitty, especially since they reused the general design for these...

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mytightride/Accord2d02.gif

Speaking of rear ends, I always thought the 6th Gen Celica (especially the GT4, with the wing spacers and extra rear lip pieces) was sexy (even if the non-GT4 front ends is kinda gay...)

You posted 2 different cars here but think I know where your coming from.
The headlight design in my first build is an inspiration / copy of a toy car of mine, its actually a cassette re-winder. This may have been designed before you were born.

The NSX Veilside kit you posted looks nothing like my headlights.

If anything they designed the Accord lights after the NSX, its bigger, faster, better looking brother.

Speaking of rear ends, I always thought the 6th Gen Celica (especially the GT4, with the wing spacers and extra rear lip pieces) was sexy (even if the non-GT4 front ends is kinda gay...)

This is where the 30k NSX pwns everything close to its price range as I feel its a piece of art all the way around.

so how much is the front bumper?!? can you custom something for a mini cooper or a miata ?My kit would come as a whole package with the top hood panels and I estimate it to be around $3000.
My next project will be the Aston replica and widebodies for Zeds, I wouldnt have time to make other projects for a long time.

how about one for 335i sedan?
If I were you I would rent an m3 for a day and make mold copies of the front end. Then you can have the front end made and even sell your old bumper for profit.

Perhaps an expensive conversion to a Porsha, you could save some money by using the same headlights.

I can make these exact "squeezed" Porsche panels and rear but not for a long time. You can find someone with the right machine to do it but I think it would cost a minimum of 5k. You would need another 5k to chop the roof and and have it reinforced unless you can weld and have the right tools.

I just remembered the Aston mini, but I doubt you can find anyone who can mold it freehand. Maybe a clay artist would be your best bet to make the front end but it wont look exact because the dimensions differ.

This seems like a cheaper option but it all depends on what style you like as all I did was paste another design on it, you can basically make what ever you imagine but you have to keep the dimensions in mind and what your budget is.

You seem like a nice guy but extremely naive, you should really do some research first.

This isn't elementary school where you get a pat on the back for trying, you're going to get chewed up and spit out when you fail. From the looks of it so far, you really don't know what you're doing.

Here's what I believe, taste is subjective but there is such a thing as "common" taste. Common taste would be the majority of auto enthusiasts correct? "Uncommon" taste would be a catagory you're in, along with a few others, chances are those few others don't own a 300zx. How big is your world now?

It's cool that you're doing it for yourself but don't get your hopes up on selling the kit when you're thinking stock height/high offset is adequate. I could already guess what type of rims/setup you'll get if you decide address that problem.

I'm not an expert, but just my 2 cents

I disagree, auto enthusiasts dont buy all the cars and I will also be selling my kit assembled as a whole car.

Pretty much all cars come in stock height and rims when bought from the factory, the owners can do what ever their auto enthusiastic taste serves them :nerd:

I think it looks better and if I have 10-20 deposits I would make it, even before finishing my personal design

btw, you didn't do a nose job, looks more like a cast:lol my two cents. good luck either way though. i wouldn't be surprised if you got a "told you so":rofl:
Yes and with enough layers it could be stronger then the previous flimsy stock 300zx bumper... just ask any owner that has taken one apart.

You speak as if people are going to be lined up asking to by kit... I can only be so optimistic, but hey, a couple pages back I posted and mentioned that my kit is already made of fiberglass... read back and there is more detail to that.

I did a lot work on this one because I like Toyota and would like to make kit around one.

On this Civic, the rear window would be taken out, fiberlgass added, and a new plastic glass put in place.

bro i was on your side until i saw that civic LOL. Come on, you could do like a hatchback conversion of the newer civics or something but a exotic style civic is not appealing to anyone.

I've taken my Z32 further apart then 95% of the Z32 members on this site, and trust me, our stock bumper is flexible, not flimsy.


I disagree, auto enthusiasts dont buy all the cars and I will also be selling my kit assembled as a whole car.
Am I the only one who picked up on this? So you're going to go out and buy 300ZX's (all of which are in various states), convert them, then sell them?

Ive had the equivalent of cyber feces thrown at me before... which I ducked... so I wont be bothered. But yes, lets move the thread to a build diary section if you guys have one.

I called a Mazda dealership and they would sell me 2010 3 series headlights but it costs $300+ each, so obviously anyone interested in the kit can opt for better parts if wanted.


Why, what would be the benefit of that? It would be easier to sell a kit that the buyer installs.One can make more profit selling it as a whole. Some people across the states or Europe might order my kit but will still need a body shop to disassemble, cut and re-bolt the kit to the donor car (300zx).
If anyone would like to be a re-seller or just find customers for commission, read my 3 page thread at Nico.

That thread STILL had you being lit up until you posted evidence, and even then people were still skeptical. All you've done is talk about your business plans, you want this happening, and this happening once I make X profit, yet all I see is a lot of motivation, and a very questionable kit, especially if you intend trying to sell at stock height.

I don't see very many of these selling at your price point, unless someone wanted to be THAT diverse in the Z crowd. I'm not too keen on the 300ZX, but at least I know there's more alternatives that are cheaper and more stylish when it comes to front bumpers. Those options even leave enough room to get coilovers and some nice flush rims.

I credit your drive, but your target market is way too optimistic.

I re-read your previous post about you not liking the design but to someone else on the street, they might love my car. What Ive created is not the same designed 300zx... like every girl or different species of flower, my car is a new design. Like this car, its a design that will go down in history.

Like this car, its a design that will go down in history.
Your design won't go down in "history." Maybe history for being bashed on RS. You don't decide history, making an advancement is generally considered history (like the creation of the rotor engine or hybrid cars.) History in the automotive world is something that affects what EVERYONE does (the evolution of aerodynamics.) What you're doing is reinventing the wheel-taking something, redesigning it and calling it your own. That is not something that will "go down in history." You haven't created anything new that changes the face of anything.

The people who decide what makes history is society-not you (A car manufacturer doesn't make a new car and calls it history, OTHERS decide whether or not it's deemed 'historic"." And by the looks of it, your supporters are few and far between. Quit getting ahead of yourself. You have desire and motivation, thats good, but your attitude of being all high and mighty and making "history"? Where the hell do you think you are making "history?" Check yourself.
