My Personal opinion here is,

i love the bumper and the line it gives, i take it its a 300zx not sx unit?
Anyway did you have to norrow it to fit?

I'm not liking the wheel arches though, i expect they offer something on the track, the work is top class though just not to my tastes.

I was thinking of going down the nismo arch route as i think the more curved shape fits better with my taste for the 185's lines.

Not doing the bodywork mods that's being done by Edge Performance (as a project as and when they have time at a very special sponsorship labour rate) - this is why it's taking so long.

I'm helping out where and when I have time on Saturdays.

what made you go with the arch style you have chosen?

is the bumper from a 300zx? just wondered as previously it states 200zx?

guess thats a minor error.

Hi,

First time I've seen this thread and I wondered if you would be on this forum as I was at Edge Performance the other week just to get a rubber bung for my ST205 air box and low and behold there was a white GT4 on the ramps with outrageous bodywork going on lol

Nice work.
Going for the DTM style?

I might be entering my almost standard 205 but we'll see :)

Yes - 300ZX Fairlady wide body front bumper (Carzone or Carcept)

I'd chop that rear bumper. Its hangs down way lower than a stock 185 bumper and its really just a big airbrake.

Actually have a cunning plan...looked at how the rally cars have a full length under pan/tray and thought about doing something similar for ground effects but, in addition, adding a full width, axle back rear diffuser :D (similar to what I have on my ST205 but more like what Johnny Milner has done on his ST205 monster sprint car).
