Racing 350Z researching help

I know from an earlier post that some of you are working on 350Z racing conversions. Has any one found any pictures of a real one on the net? I don't even know if one exists! Come to think of it:rolleyes:, I haven't even seen a stock version on the street!
I've only found three racing versions -a "body-modified-with-plastic-card" LM and two blue Calsonic "challenge" versions. I'm hunting around looking for what a racing Z interior may look like. The pictures I've come across don't show much.
My 350Z project is purely hypothetical with a "triple-shade-o-blue-checkered-flag" body scheme. I always thought the resin Nissan R390 2000(?) that this paint job is based on looked really cool. The first two colours on my Z look awesome and I will post progress pics soon.
I don't know about your Z racing kits, but I've decided NOT to modify the body on my 350Z. I've got my hands full working on a heavily customized Celica GTR body on a shortened Castrol Supra frame/interior. BUT that's another post.....

Just a bit of info...
Production 350Z's are finaly out in August - they were originally promised for early summer. There was a pre-release production model on tour a while back that I had the chance to check out. Anyone who bought their 300ZX new from a Nissan dealer got a sneek peek at a special screening! :finger: Heh! heh!

Pre sales brochure and video are available now. I got to see the sales manual, and I was quite impressed with the standard features on the base model. The Version S with 18in Rays mag, and Brembo will be really hot.
July 30th is the day when the real car will be shown at the dealers in Japan.
The race version of 350Z models on the net are all phantom racers, so they don't represent the real car. NISMO is said to be planning to sell the GT300 version to the private teams next year, but the details hasn't been announced yet.
