Nissan’s competitor, Big T, has just released a new supercar and it is all over the blogs and what not. I’m not too keen on most of their products but when I saw how the A pillars were made I needed to share it with you guys and gals, I could watch this for a long time on a loop. Supposedly this is one of two machines in the world that can create carbon fiber structures in this manner. I want a Z car that is made entirely in this fashion. hahaha, a $35mil 240z!!
I know that some of you are super eager to see some major progress on this huge project so here is another “carrot in front of the donkey” to keep you interested and coming back for more. Here are the first photos of the newly powder coated and anodized suspension parts going on the car for mock-up. We also threw one of the brakes on just to give you an idea of what they will look like, 12.9″ brakes on a Z are ridiculous, and amazing.
Two of the ZCG Big Brake Kit posts can be found HEREand HERE
I MIGHT have a couple more shots for you before the week is over of the car on the ground, that’s right, it will be a roller. Holy Crap. keep bringing it back here for your Z-car fix.

I know that I have been posting quite a few videos lately (and I may catch some grief for it) but I thought this was worth it. Plus videos make for good weekend posts when there is nothing going on. This movie trailer from Japan seems to be a Fast and the Furious style movie but with a couple real cars in it and not some trash with glued on canards. So why is it hear on ZCarBlog? Watch it and find out
Update: I did a little research and found out that it is a movie version of a popular comic in Japan. I wonder if it will be available in English subtitles…. More pictures HERE
Here are a few pictures of the suspension for the Behemonth RB28 project after powder coating and anodizing. The pictures really don’t do it justice, everything came out perfectly.
The goal is to have the car rolling around on it’s own feet wheels by the first part of next week. Hopefully i’ll have some more pictures for you soon.
Things are progressing with the build as we speak and I was able to grab a few shots of the suspension while it was being mocked up for the final time before being sent out for powder coating. Hopefully I will have the finished suspension shots for you shortly. These are just a teaser. RB power for life!!
