| Tamiya is going to release the Nismo version of the latest 350Z. The
current generation Z (dubbed Z33) has gone facelift twice--the first one
included minor cosmetic changes to the bumper, headlights, taillights and
wheels. The 2nd one was more noticeable, especially the hood with a
pentagonal bulge, which is reminiscent of the inline-six powered Z. The
Tamiya kit in question, the Fairlady Z verson NISMO, is an upscale
variation of the popular 350Z, currently competing in the Japanese GT
championship. |
