My Z's VS 3000GT VR-4
Thanks for the comments, guys! There's going to be another race soon. This race is from like 4 months ago...A month after this race, the VR4 blew the engine and now the owner did a complete rebuilt with forged pistons, lightened crank, bigger turbos and other goodies...He kept the stock injectors and intercooler tho :rolleyes: Hope to get the same results :)

My Z's VS 3000GT VR-4
The turbos and wastegates were bad. I just repaired the turbos and my Z is supposed to be ready by wednesday...Hopefully I'll be boosting around 14-15 psi with boost jets *crossing fingers*

New front Bumper ( Lights )
I agree...The Gracer looks more aggressive than the jspec bumper, but it looks older at the same time tho. I've always thought the jspec front looks too "happy".

front bumper from "Peru"
I understand every reaction from the members here, since we are new...We're not here to screw anyone, we came here to meet Z guys, get well known and someday expand our business here too, but since lots of members wanted to get the bumper, our plans changed really fast and here we are...offering the same product we are selling in the US that lots of members from american Z clubs already know and put their trust in us. We are new in U.K., but we have a long way in the U.S., since we are members of http://www.twinturbo.net for over 4 years, and all the members know our work and passion for the Z cars...We have gone to the US in different ocassions to meet with Z owners and promote our products too and we've been with the big guys in California like Greg Dupree, Seb and Dean from http://www.Speacialty-Z.com ...We also work with Charles Park (owner of PowerTrix) who is our distributor in the US...I think Smithy gets products from him, so he could ask him personally about us. Check our profile on tt.net: http://www.twinturbo.net/net/directory.aspx?forum=general&user_id=47930 As we said before, we are kinda veterans there with over 4 years of being members and over 100,000 hits (that's why it says "a lot") We're also members from http://www.300zxclub.com for 3+ years already. We're planning on making new products for the Z32, like new rear bumper, new side skirts, new wing and new wide rear fenders to put up to date the already timeless lines of the 300ZX...We're not planning on ruining our reputation around the world, since we have HUGE plans and many ideas to make our business grow not only in the US. T-Pot: I don't know why you act like if you ever had any problem with us, since we never told you to make a payment or anything to us...We just wanted to help you get your bumper, but as I already told you, Charles couldn't get a cheap shipping price, so there wasn't anything else we could do...I don't consider it nice of you to start promoting the members to contact someone to copy the creativity, effort and hard work put on this fascia. Sorry for he drama...I'm glad to see the members still up to buy the bumpers. We'll be having pics, prices and everything needed in less than a week...We have other jobs too :D Thanks.

front bumper from "Peru"
1. Yes, we need at least 9 orders to start this process. 2. Here's the info for a box of ten bumpers: Volume= 2.75 m^3 Weight= 173 kilograms I'll find out what would be the cost to ship the box to your address and I'll be contacting you via e-mail. 3. I will be mailing you this info too, once I get everything straight, since right now I can't give you any numbers. Thanks.

front bumper from "Peru"
T-Top, sorry for not giving you the confidence on us that you were expecting... Just to clarify the situation, when you were interested in getting a fascia, we were offering you one of the fascias we already have on stock in the U.S....That's why you had to contact our distributor in the U.S. (Charles Park of http://www.PowerTrix.com, a well known Z parts distributor in the U.S.), since he's the one that manages all the front bumpers we have there...At the end, he found out that the shipping price from the U.S. to U.K. for only 1 front bumper was too expensive (around US$400), so we concluded that shipping outside the US was gonna be impossible. Right now, the scenario is completely different, since there's a good quantity of people in U.K. now, that knows the bumper and is interested in buying...So, now we can make new bumpers and ship them directly from Peru to U.K. (the same we did when we exported them to the U.S.). Now the terms for the interested buyers are these: - We need to deal with only one person that will be getting the fascias (all of them in a package directly from Peru), since we will be offering a CIF price (Cost, Insurance and Freight), so that person will have to do the transactions needed on the U.K. Customs to get them on his property and finally ship the fascias to each buyer, like a distributor in U.K. - We need to make a group of 9+ buyers, so we can start making the fascias, since less than 9 fascias is not worth for us and it would be more expensive at the end...The more buyers, the cheaper it gets. - We'll be working on the price to get it around the one we are offering in the US (includes shipping from Peru to the Port we'll agree to use in the UK, taxes and others), so the shipping will be an extra you'll have to pay to the person we'll be dealing with. To the people worried about any damage on the shipping, we package the fascias the best as possible...We have shipped 40 fascias to the US and all of them got to their destination in perfect conditions. Here's an example of the boxes we shipped to the US...Each box contains 10 fascias...We'll be making extra protection this time to make sure that all fascias get in perfect condition. This is how they are shipped to each customer in the US... Note: The fascia comes with nose panel included (different from the stock one as you see on my blue Z) Material: Flexible Fiberglass (also known as FRP)...Here's a flexibility demostration. Any questions, let us know. Thanks.

front bumper from "Peru"
Well, I'm a little surprised right now...There was this guy posting some pics at 300zxclub.com of a car that had a copy (or what looks like) of my front fascia, he was telling me that i copied his friend's design (everyone on the forum was like...WTF is this guy talking about??)...My reaction was to complain about it since we felt ungry for that, but we never had personal attacks as someone said here, since we never spoke to the owner (we don't even know who he is)...Was it bad to comment about it? what would you have done? It's a forum, and forums are to discuss, aren't they?...We never insult anyone, we just said it was an ugly copy of my fascia. The idea of the bumper is the same, but luckily that design didn't turn out the same as mine at the end...Both bumpers are VERY DIFFERENT....The idea of my front fascia begun like 3 years ago, when we started modifyind a pic of a widebody Z with Strosek front bumper using Photoshop and it ended up being our "Concept" design...Here's the pic we posted in many Z forums when we finished photoshoping the pic: This pic was even posted saying that the owner didn't copy my bumper, just copied the pic lol. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that these bumpers are far from being similar...Same idea of the big mouth maybe, but they are designed completely different... Don't confuse the pics of my car thinking that your Z's will look exactly like mine if you buy Zcentre's front bumper!! Ask your friend from Zcentre to post as many pics as possible of his car so you can check his bumper before buy and think you are buying the same bumper as on my white or blue Z...Just a VERY important suggestion from me. Here are some pics of Zcentre's car for you to compare the proportions and lines: Zcentre's TheTwinZ's Zcentre's TheTwinZ's Zcentre's TheTwinZ's Just wanted to clarify things...I didn't come here to sell front bumpers, just to know more Z'ers around the world...People here just loved the look of my Z's and they offered to buy my fronts...I won't get poor if I don't sell bumpers here. I just wanted to show 2 very unique Z's. Sorry for the drama...Thanks!
