Recently I was watching TV and came across a Nissan commercial where the car on the street transforms over the years from the old Datsun Z’s into the 2008 350Z. The commercial slogan is “want to drive a Z”, now I’m not one for commercials or take them too seriously until I saw Mike Lee’s Farilady then even I couldn’t deny that I wanted to drive a Z too. Mike spared no attention to detail when building this monster which is sporting 380whp with his Greddy Twin Turbo Kit. Mike knew with that kind of power that he would need to stop so a set of Stop-Tech brakes were added, keeping with a JDM theme over the whole car Mike chose exterior styling by Nismo & Top Secret. Overall Mike’s Fairlady has it all and you can see why he is very proud to show it off.
