“To make it even better there were no spacers on the rear which shows with the insane dish. “When we got them on the car, it tucked perfectly,” Jamie beams. He hadn’t been planning to spend anywhere near that much, but it immediately became apparent that these were absolutely the right wheels for the project, so Jamie bit the bullet. Fate certainly knew, and manifested itself in the form of a fella named Ryan who messaged Jamie to say that he had a set of WORK VS-XX that would be perfect for a Pandem Nissan 350Z. Yeah, we already know the answer to that one. After we got the kit on we went to hurdle no.2: do I buy more affordable wheels and put spacers on to fill the arches, or do I go all out…?” Hurdle no.1 was that when we started cutting the arches, we noticed a lot of white dust coming from the arch – yep, it was filler, which made me think it had had a little accident.
Luckily we got it sorted, and then two days later we put the rear arches and the spoiler on. “Jack wanted to do a boot build so we started building, but then we ran into issues with the wiring as it was too short for what we wanted to do. “I bought an Air Lift 3P setup before the kit arrived,” says Jamie.
NISSAN 350Z ROCKET BUNNY SPOILER CRACKED
The front bumper and arches were mocked up within a couple of hours, and because they were then waiting on materials to tub the rear arches, they cracked on with sorting out the suspension. Best decision ever.”Ī couple of friends, Jack Bailey and Nicky Stock, were roped in to help fit the bodykit, and the guys found that it was surprisingly simple (well, surprisingly un-difficult at least) to fit having been told that it would take a couple of weeks to mould a kit like that to the body, they found that buying the genuine gear makes a lot of difference and it all went on like Lego. That email was sent on Tuesday, and on Thursday morning it arrived – a full, genuine Rocket Bunny Pandem V2 kit from Japan, and in two days I went from ordering it to getting it. So I sent him the money and then two minutes later I get an email from TRA Kyoto saying they would deliver. We looked around and found only one place in the UK that sold the kit for £5,500 Corey explained that he could get it over half price off. “Corey Hosford is an ex-FD drifter and a friend of mine who helped develop the Rocket Bunny S14 Boss kit, and he told me that he was able to get a genuine Rocket Bunny 350Z kit a lot cheaper as he was friends with Kei Miura.
“I knew there were many Rocket Bunny-style kits in the UK, but luckily I have a friend in the USA who works at Hoonigan who was able to really hook me up,” says Jamie. An excellent base for a project, and Jamie could immediately see the potential, as the direction of the build was written in the stars from the off: he wanted to go wide, and a Rocket Bunny Pandem kit was the chosen way to do that.
The seller was in their fifties and had added an ARK GRiP V2 exhaust, a remap, and a set of 19” Rota Grids.
NISSAN 350Z ROCKET BUNNY SPOILER PLUS
The car was found for sale locally, with low mileage and no rust, plus a few tasteful mods. Within 9 days the goal was reached, and I then live-streamed me purchasing the 350Z on the 10 th day. They told me to put up a goal for one (which is where viewers will donate money) for £6,000. My dream was always an S15, but the prices were rising too fast so I said a 350Z would be amazing – the body shape is really clean. Just ask Jamie (aka ‘JustJamie’), owner of this wide-hipped Merlin Purple Pandem Nissan 350Z: “My job consists of playing games online for people to watch,” he explains, “and one day we were talking about modified cars and my viewers asked what car I would like. And when this scene crosses over with another that’s equally broad and inclusive, some truly magical things can happen. We’re always talking about how the modified car scene is a huge and friendly community, and the camaraderie at shows and on social media is a constant reminder of that. This Merlin Purple Pandem Nissan 350Z is the car that love built…
