Nissan NISMO 380RS Competition WIP
...the Nismosis continues...
For this one I am combining Tamiya's NISMO Fairlady Z and their JGTC Z kits. I'm making something close to the 380RS Competition shown at the 2006 Tokyo Auto Salon. It will have a full race interior and similar graphics to the real car. So far I have chopped up a SAS Skyline resin hood and dissected the vents into four sections. Marked lines on the hood and cut holes for the vents. I also filled the stock fuel door and drilled a hole for a dry break fitting.(not pictured) The 'B' pillar has been removed and the rear side window opening adjusted to accept the blank window panel from the race Z kit. The side view mirror mounting panels have also been removed and the locating holes drilled for the race mirrors.(not pictured) Here you see the body in final primer and ready for paint. Here's the unpolished painted body with a collection of some parts for the project. I'll use the racing RAYS rims from the race kit as they will help me lower the car without a plethora of other modifications. I am mating the rear 'package bin' from the stock Z to the race interior since there will be a rear window. The rear wing will be from Tamiya's Ings Z Power wing kit.

Re: Nissan NISMO 380RS Competition WIP
Got interior completed and have began laying on some decals. Detailed brakes have the red anodized look in the center which should add a nice touch to the color scheme.
Polished body with light bezels and fuel filler inserted. Also lower body work and window trim painted. Decals to be put on next.

Re: Nissan NISMO 380RS Competition WIP
Does "Nismosis" start with itching and then you break out with a silver rash?
Clean and sharp as always! |

Re: Nissan NISMO 380RS Competition WIP
Looking awesome Brian. I think this will be one of my favorite of your Nismo conversions.
