I've always had a soft spot for the wide arch stroseks.

 

To those that have them.......where did you get it done, and how much did it set you back?

 

I seen the black SWB with the strosek on it that came up for sale a few months ago and decided i wanted the kit on mine!!!!

a proper strosek kit is germany only i'm affraid but you can get the copies but they're quite expensive, you'd also need a very good bodyshop to fit it, ask ceejay cos he's in the middle of 1 as we speak.

The copies are cheap (most come from zcentre). The original kits are very expensive. All are fibreglass.

Zcentre do this one (Zenon Kit), which is gonna be the closest :)

Genuine Strosek from Germany was steel and cost thousands.

Paul Bailey copied it in fibreglass and then others copied that.

The whole rear end of my car is basically the zenon kit from Z Centre.

I think strosek were doing a special a while ago, kit fully installed, sprayed etc for £7k, which ain't bad, considering the quality is very very good!

Im pretty sure the original strosek was Fibreglass too.

If your interested I may be able to get in touch with Paul Bailey, I havn't seen hime for some time now and I don't know if he's still into the Zeds but I believe he still does bodywork

I think he sold the moulds to z1?

 

IIRC I think the strosek wide arches were steel, but nend could give u a definative answer?

Fairly sure it was steel and the quality in the flesh is sooo much better than the fibreglass ones we get here.

It was actually commisioned by Nissan to be a special edition Z but they pulled out of the US market and discontinued development I heard.

I didn't know Paul Bailey was still in the bodywork business.

I tried to get some of the last bits of kit from him before he closed down and in the end had to get some of it from Z Centre.

correct

The facelift Z was going to have the Strostek kit. Back arches were steel, not sure if the front/back was poly or FG. You would expect that if Nissan did go ahead with the new model then they wouldn't of used FG. The facelift model was scrapped due to falls in Z sales worldwide. I too had the "Strostek" Paul Bailey kit, but thought that it was very heavy for what it was.

 

It was the best front end until Wings West brought theirs out IMO.

The original Stroseks were lowered by 40mm also. Something you need to bear in mind if you fit the kit or your rear arches may end up looking like mine with a fairly big gap above the wheel. I have a set of lowering springs waiting to go on, just waiting for some summer to get them fitted. you may also need to modify or change the exhaust if you go for the rear bumper shown. All the panels in this kit were from Z centre

 

check this out and decide if you want this doing to your car lol

Im sure the strosek kits are fibreglass..the ones you can buy from Strosek now !?

 

I've had a good look around a genuine strosek car and while the quality was outstanding I thought ti was still fibreglass...and somebody was selling a genuine strosek kit on here a couple of years back from Europe and I thought that was fiberglass.

 

I believe they originally intended to go with steel, this was when they were working with Nissan, but they ended up fibreglass.

 

I could be wrong though.

yup fibreglass as i know somone who fitted one, peter from pps fitted mean machines original stroseck kit and he said the qaulity was very good, he actually told me that mine was one of the better kits and looked really nice, but i think thats cause i owed him money lol

Strosek may have switched to FG but there are definately steel (or part steel) versions out there. JD has got an old car mag which took an in-depth look at a Strosek kitted Z32 and that very definately had steel rear arches. Can't remember what it said about the rest of the kit though.
