The Return of a Legend

When you hear the name Han in car culture, two things come to mind: the laid-back, drifting, snack-munching character from the Fast & Furious franchise — and the unmistakable VeilSide RX-7 he piloted in Tokyo Drift. Now, in 2023, VeilSide and Han are back in the spotlight, and the weapon of choice is Nissan’s brand-new RZ34 Z, transformed into the FFZ400, affectionately nicknamed Hans’ 400Z.

First shown to the world at the Tokyo Auto Salon, this build is more than a movie tie-in. It’s VeilSide’s statement that they’re still masters of the tuner world, still able to command attention in an era where social media trends often outshine craftsmanship. And from the moment you lay eyes on it, you know this Z means business.

VeilSide’s Signature Makeover

If you’ve followed VeilSide over the decades, you’ll recognise the approach immediately: dramatic lines, aggressive proportions, and a design language that makes the car look like it’s moving at 300km/h even while standing still. The elongated front bumper stretches the Z’s profile, integrating the stock grille while introducing four deep air openings along the lower splitter. Larger grilled-off intakes complete the front’s “speed even at a standstill” attitude — a nod to Wangan Midnight style.

The car’s orange paintwork draws speculation. Some say it’s a tip of the hat to the 432R race version of the classic S30 Fairlady Z, others see it as a cinematic link to Han’s iconic RX-7. Either way, under the bright Tokyo lights, it glows like molten metal.

Details That Define It

Look closely at the front, and you’ll notice the sculpted bodywork around the headlights — subtle, sharp lines added to emphasise their shape. The fenders carry contrasting vented panels with louvers that flow neatly into the main vent detail, a styling flourish that blends aggression with precision.

Tucked beneath slightly widened arches sit 20-inch VeilSide 5-spoke wheels, pushed deep into the body thanks to air suspension. One push of a button and the Z drops into its perfect stance — something VeilSide knows their audience expects.

The side skirts tie the design together, while the rear stays true to the build’s theme. The fenders here aren’t cut; instead, FRP overfenders have been applied over factory metal, preserving the original body while adding width for serious rear rubber. This choice is all about accessibility — giving everyday Z owners a way to get the look without taking a grinder to their new car.

The Rear View & Finishing Touches

At the back, the elongated ducktail spoiler blends with the overfenders, finished with fading VeilSide logos on the wing stays. Above, the roofline’s signature katana-inspired accent gets a true craftsman’s touch: a painted hamon pattern that mirrors the wavy line of a samurai sword’s hardened edge.

Step inside, and the story continues. Custom Bride seats trimmed in a suede-like fabric patterned with tiny VeilSide logos bring a tailored feel to the interior. The same material appears on the door cards, dash, and even the steering wheel centre. It’s subtle, but in the way a perfectly cut suit speaks volumes without shouting.

Under the Skin

Pop the rear deck lid and you’ll find the neatly installed air suspension setup, laid out in a way that almost resembles a horizontally-opposed twin engine. Under the bonnet, the VR30DETT twin-turbo V6 remains stock — VeilSide’s focus these days is on design, not performance tuning. Still, they couldn’t resist fitting their own exhaust system, partly for style, partly because the stock note is simply too quiet for a car this striking.

Why Hans’ 400Z Matters

This car isn’t just a showpiece for VeilSide’s booth at Tokyo Auto Salon. It’s proof that in 2023, Japanese tuner culture still knows how to make a global statement. The FFZ400 is as much about storytelling as it is about sheet metal — blending film nostalgia, motorsport history, and cutting-edge design into something that feels both modern and timeless.

Whether you see it as Han’s comeback ride, a love letter to the Z lineage, or simply one of the boldest builds of the year, one thing’s certain: VeilSide is back in the conversation. And they’re speaking the language of stance, style, and cinematic swagger fluently.
