I can't seem to find anything for my 88 car. I really like the MSA Bodykit type 1 for the 84 - 85. Doe anyone know if this will fit a 88?

There's a UK supplier for Kaminari replicas

I asked MSA for a quote on the shipping costs of a fiberglass shiro replica lip and it was $500 by regular air mail. You would have to organize sea transport or something along these lines to get it from them for a reasonable price.
There was also a guy or a small company in Germany that made some pretty aggressive body kits for the Z31. Can't remember the name anymore, but it might still be possible to get something made to order from there.

You're a legend Kaur, thanks very much.
I don't suppose you know where I can source some rocket bunny style fenders like the ones in the picture do you?
At the moment I am trying to source some damaged rocket bunny fenders for an S13 so I can chop them around to make them fit the Z.

Maybe S130 or S30 flares would work as a starting point? Check out the parts for other cars on MJP. There should be other suppliers for more popular Nissans, too.

I'm not sure that the rocket bunny syle flared arches work on the widerbodied later spec z31's. ( Also being a 2+2 )
I don't think I have seen any pics on thenet with them fitted. I could be wrong though.

That's a good idea. I take a look to see what I can find.

I've never seen another Z31 with them on, but I think it's doable. A damaged set would be ideal to modify for fitment.

On a translator? [archived image: biggrin.png]
Joking aside, I don't really know what this kit is or understand what I'm looking at…

so what? my native isn't German or English.
I know, except native, Ukrainian, English and can remind French.

kit includes both front and rear bumper covers and sideskirts.
ONLY 2+2.

That's the German one I was referring to. Does anyone know if they're still in business? The website doesn't seem too up to date.

Quite like the front bumper, but that's about it.

If you do mount flares, for heavens sake please do not mount them low like many people have done. They need to be mounted high and the car lowered quite a lot… 18x10 0 offset fits with a small fender roll so wider is only really necessary if you're using truck wheels that are some -42 offset things.

You're totally right. The flare needs to be progressive instead of splayed out arches.
As for ride height, I'm bagging the car. I will probably want to run 10 or 10.5 on the back. It really depends on the wheel that I end up sourcing. At the moment I'm aiming for something like an SSR SP1.
