I was wondering if anybody has any more info on who makes this kit and maybe some more pics. I was trying to find the Pitroad M hood that sombody on here once had i ran into the kit so if anybody has a link to that hood it would also be much apperaciated.

The rear wing is but i'm more interested in the widebody. If i can find the manfacture i can see how much wider it makes to body. Also out of curiosity why did you get a j-spec engine? I didnt' think that they made that much more HP also what did you do bout it being AWD?

It only makes the rear wider if you read it. Kaze makes the kit.

And the JSpec engine has nothing to do with the car being AWD or FWD.

I've seen front fenders from 3sx performance and dynamic thats the reason this kit kinda caught my eye. And talskinneyguy all JDM and Euro cars are AWD can you mate the FWD tranny to the AWD motor thats the reason i asked.

YES as he said the drive configuration makes no difference for how the engine bolts up.

Those fenders at 3sx etc are Cianci fenders. I have seen a set first hand and the quality is top notch.

ALL JDMs are AWD? you sure man? i thought there was a 2wd base model, 2wd SL model, AWD SR model (non-turbo), and AWD twin turbo models (GTO and MR)? or am i mistaken?

I'm pretty sure all the JDM 3KGT's are AWD.

Outside of North America ALL 3s's are AWD. NA was the only place to get the Z11a (fwd) chassis.

I got the engine because when i got the car,the guy i baught it from forgot to tell me the block was cacked and he tried welding it up. lasted for about a year......then the damn thing was just pouring oil all over the place.

Just to clear some things up. Here are the drivetrain setups and chassis model numbers

3000GT's come in FWD(Z11A) or AWD(Z16A)
GTO's come in AWD(Z15A) or AWD+AWS(Z16A)
Stealths Come in FWD(Z11A), AWD(Z15A), and AWD+AWS(Z16A)

Japan has GTO's, and a couple 3000GT's imported back to japen.
We have the 3000GT and Stealth.
The rest of the work has a mix of GTO's and 3000GT's, however I dont think anyone got the stealth but us.

All the engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern so they can be swapped between the FWD and AWD and Manual and Automatic with any problems.

It has been said Japan is the only place to get GTO's. The GTO's in the UK, Australia, etc were originally sold in Japan then bought by a Brit or Aussie and shipped over.

GTO's werent imported to be sold in the UK.;) They were originally bought in Japan most likely by someone who lived in Japan.;) Then some time down the line someone in the UK bought the car and had it shipped it over. That make sense now?

lol yea, after I re-thought about it for a while I got it, but after reading your last post it just confirms it....

The 13G's were a "dealer option" only offered in the UK. Basicly a UK importer would install 13G's if the customer paid for them plus the install.
