Re: Fujimi's Wangan Midnight S30Z

It's an awesome kit. It comes with some unique, really attractive, RS Watanabes. Staggered of course. What makes them unique is the dish design.

The tires could be a tad narrower.

It has an "over" bodykit with intercooler, it has an engine, no turbo to go with the engine but that's easy to modify. It has fender flares and some other goodies from the stock car.

The main difference between boxart and model is it doesn't come with mesh wheels. It's the cool RS' I was referring to earlier.

I would recommend this kit if it's a reasonable price.

Doesn't the standard S30 Fairlady kit come with the staggered RS-watanabes though, the really deep dish rear ones too? Its just that they are far too wide for the standard bodywork in that kit.

So, I'd buy it for the overfender bodykit if it has it (sure save some fabrication, and wide arched S30Z = tough), and the cooler, otherwse its basically the stock S30 kit isn't it (?), which comes with quite a few little trick bits and pieces.

Re: Fujimi's Wangan Midnight S30Z

Are the flared fenders like the box art?. By staggered you mean its got negative camber?

Staggered as in staggered width rims, ie the rear wheels/tyres are wider than the fronts by a fair margin.

Re: Fujimi's Wangan Midnight S30Z

Re: Fujimi's Wangan Midnight S30Z

Yes guys. The Midnight kit has the proper fender flares. The front flares are meant to mate to the supplied bodykit so if you were thinking of not running it you'd have to extended the front flare.

and yes...

The RS' fit nicely under there with the fenders attached. Although, it's not really the Watanabe's that are the issue. The tires supplied with the kit are too wide.
