[Vehicle commentary]
--In 1989, the Fairlady Z (Z32) was released by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
――It was sold as the first domestically produced sports car boasting a catalog spec of 280 horsepower. In Japan, the Skyline GT-R was also active, so it did not appear much in the race scene.
――However, in the United States, which is the main market of the Fairlady Z, Cunningham Racing will win a number of wins in the IMSA series.
--The machine with the VG30DETT tuned to over 700 horsepower mounted on the body of the pipe frame and wrapped in a lightweight fiber body looked like a 300ZX, but the contents were completely different.
――The machine that was based on the 2-seater specification was very difficult to operate, and I had to struggle.
――So I changed to a long wheelbase with 2by2 specifications, and this worked.
――In 1992, he won a series of consecutive victories and won the driver's champion and manufacturer title.
――1994 was the best year for the 300ZX.
--Daytona won the Sebring, the 24 Hours of Le Mans class, and the IMSA series double title.
――In 1995, I replaced it with an Infiniti V8 NA engine and fought the season.
--Headlights are required for night races such as Daytona, 24 Hours of Le Mans and Sebring.
――The 300ZX IMSA has only a sticker with a headlight pattern on the normal cowl, and no light is attached.
――For long-distance races, the front cowl is changed to one with headlights at the timing of pit stop.
――The appearance of wearing three lights on each side gives a strong impression that is completely different from the standard cowl.
[Model explanation]
――The model was modeled by covering the only existing 300ZX in Japan.
――The basic body shape is created by 3D scanning, but in the past there were parts that were modified and repaired for each race.
--The specifications that won the class championship in the 1995 Sebring 12 Hours race have been reproduced from old materials.
――The tricolor coloring, which can be said to be a feature of Z that is active in the United States, is reproduced by painting and decaling.

――The dashboard has carbon decals.
-The net that prevents popping out, which is a feature of IMSA vehicles, is also reproduced with etched parts.
――We also made a rear section where the cooling duct is eye-catching.
--The frame, rear damper, suspension arm, etc. are made with separate parts.
――The characteristic headlights are reproduced based on the materials at that time.
