The Nissan Z RZ34, also known as the 400Z, has been in production for over a year. Consequently, serious tuner modifications are starting to appear. Externally, few things are as eccentric as the Liberty Walk G-Nose body kit, unveiled digitally just hours ago.
Unlike the A90 Supra, the 400Z features minimalist factory styling, nodding to predecessors like the original 240Z from 1969 and the 300ZX from two decades later.
For this new kit, Liberty Walk offers standard and widebody forms, paying homage to the 240Z G-Nose specifically.
What is Nissan Fairlady 240ZG aka G-Nose?
The Datsun 240Z, known as the Fairlady Z in Japan, paved the way for JDM sports cars worldwide, especially in the U.S. market. The most extreme version was the Japanese homologation special, the Fairlady ZG, also called the G-Nose. This car was initially built to meet Nissan’s Group 4 racing requirements. Hence, it featured a streamlined nose, rear spoiler, wide fenders, and covered headlights.
Only 500 units were produced between 1971 and 1972. Buyers outside Japan had to rely on dealers for conversion kits. The aerodynamic design also made it ideal for setting multiple salt lake speed records in America, thanks to its pointy nose and aero wheels.
Liberty Walk’s 400Z G-Nose widebody kit is faithful to the original
Rendering artist and body kit designer Khyzyl Saleem anticipated a G-Nose kit for the Nissan 400Z, and Liberty Walk delivered. The Japanese tuner added one or two inches to the car’s nose, staying faithful to the original design.
The kit includes a front lip spoiler and a revised hood that blends the factory power dome with vents near the windshield.
Additional features include a rear wing, specifically a ducktail spoiler with an angular design, and a rear diffuser. For the widebody G-Nose 400Z, you can add simple overfenders.
Liberty Walk has revealed the pricing for the G-Nose kit. The widebody package is available for $6,578 or $9,328 for the CFRP version. The widebody kit costs $8,833 or $11,583 for the CFRP option.
Lowered suspension and custom wheels, resembling Watanabes with notable negative camber, enhance the car’s unique look. For those considering this as a daily driver, it might pair well with Liberty Walk’s Ferrari F40.
The 400Z aero kit will debut at SEMA 2023 (October 31-November 3), which is why Liberty Walk has only released renderings of the 400Z so far.
