Torched 40th anniversary Z32?

Check the wheels, nose panel and front bar... very possibly could be a 25th anniversary car.

Shame!

-A

 

Also the centre panel looks like its fiberglass, genuine would be urethane.

 

Nope fibreglass nose panel is right only front and rear bars urethane

 

I was about to question this as I thought it was poly as well but then I noticed you have an anniversary model lol for some reason I always thought they were poly too just like the front, sides and rear.

That's the impression I got with this too but the nose panel isn't listed as a part, only in the description.

There may be both urethane and fibreglass, I am very sure the genuine 25th Anniversary items as fitted to Nissan released cars are urethane and have seen aftermarket Stillen in fibreglass as well.

Are the AM fibreglass Stillen fake I do not know, they may of changed production technique.

But I will stick buy my comments above that that nose panel is not genuine 25th Anniversary model.

 

Erik the nose panel is listed separately on the Stillen website but you have to search the part number.

I got the part number 108820 from a picture of a fibreglass nose panel ,,,,,,,, and a picture of a urethane nose panel , note that the Stillen website says its made of Polyurethane.

They probably sold 1000's of nose panels versus a much smaller number of complete kits, maybe to cope with this for logistical and cost reasons they either farmed out production or used an alternate in house technique.

OR maybe the originals and 25th Anniversary ones were glass and they adopted urethane latter on, I think this is not as likely as the above.

Mines definetly fibreglass, unless its been replaced for some reason? Possible. Also the oz ones didnt come with sideskirts OR vented nose panels only the US ones did

 

Redbook has what look like original Nissan Australia photographs showing louvered centre panel but no side skirts.

As offered above maybe the originals were glass and urethane was adopted latter.

My photos say they are solid louvres not vented and have seen others to confirm.

 

A year or two ago I almost bought some parts from what was definitely an Aussie 25th anniversary model - but I didn't end up buying the rear bar because the rear vallance had a crack in it - it was fibre glass & the nose panel was fibre glass too, pretty sure I've still got a pic of the under side of the nose panel with the stillen details. The US sold ones may not have been fibre glass & I know what Coz sells isn't, but the nose panel & rear vallance on the Aussie models were FG

 

Who said they were vented ?

 

Well there you go. Interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

The post u referred to was talking about vented nose panels

 

The link was more about the material the Stillen nose panel is made of but the 108820 was never vented from Stillen to my knowledge.

 

Maybe because it wasn't worth making a rear urethane mould for the 40 Australian 25th anniversary cars, due to the difference in the number plate size.

 

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I have a 25th Anniversary zed and the rear valance is definitely urethane and not fibreglass. Only the nose panel is fibreglass and has the Stillen and American flag stickers as shown in the pic a few posts above.

 

Torched 25th anniversary Z32?

Have you noticed any scorched bits (repaired or touch up painted)
LOL

 

Not sure what you mean..........

 

This thread started off about a car that looked like it was a 25th Anniversary model that had been torched, and you have recently purchased a 25th Anniversary ... note the LOL at the end .
