Widebody 1970 Datsun 240Z Build: G-Nose Ztrix Styling

TL;DR – Why This Widebody 240Z Hits Different

• Fitted with a rare Ztrix G-Nose widebody kit for a bold, classic JDM silhouette.

• Finished in Kameleon FX paint and polished to perfection using Renegade Products.

• A performance-ready showpiece that blends heritage, function, and head-turning style.

Why Go Widebody? Enhancing the 240Z’s Natural Form

The Datsun 240Z already has some of the most iconic lines in JDM history. But for Rami Aryan, that wasn’t quite enough. This 1970 Datsun 240Z Series 1 needed to make a statement—not just about the car itself, but about the power of transformation.

That’s where the Ztrix Subtle Widebody G-Nose kit came in. The G-Nose design pays homage to the original Fairlady Z racing variants of the '70s. Its long, low front nose adds aggression without sacrificing the factory curves that make the 240Z so recognizable.

"It gives the car that Jaguar E-Type energy but in a distinctly JDM package," says Rami.

The Ztrix Kit: Function Meets JDM Heritage

Ztrix doesn’t just make cosmetic upgrades—they make enhancements grounded in racing history. The G-Nose widebody kit features:

• Extended front end for smoother airflow and visual drama.

• Wider arches to accommodate modern custom wheels (like Rami’s Love20bee 17s).

• Subtle flares that keep the look clean and classic, not overdone.

The fit and finish were perfected by the crew at JBZ Classics, who tailored every panel to flow seamlessly with the chassis.

A Paint Job That Changes With the Light

Of course, bodywork is only half the story. The real showstopper here is the House of Kolor Kameleon FX paint, shifting from deep red to shimmering gold depending on the light. Under show lighting or sunlight, the car seems to transform in real time.

The polish and prep work were done entirely with Renegade Products, the brand Rami owns. This build is more than just a car—it’s a functional display of the brand’s capability. For fans of JDM culture, it’s also a modern tribute to what made these cars so desirable in the first place: customization, style, and performance.

How This Build Compares to Other Classic 240Zs

Unlike many widebody builds that go full race-car with riveted flares and aggressive aero, Rami kept it refined. This car balances vintage spirit with modern form. Compared to builds like Roy Rolon’s 1972 Datsun 240Z or George Nguyen’s LS-swapped '73 240Z, this build leans into polish and legacy.

It’s also deeply connected to its purpose—as detailed in the main feature article, this car wasn’t built just for speed or looks. It was built to inspire and represent.
