When I quoted it there appeared to be a link to a .jpg. Anyhow, I'm looking for the varis wide fender on a nismo to see how it looks.

Sweet thanks. I wonder how the nismo would look with the fender and side skirt setup like galeforce has. I believe it's the kamikaze fender version and I'm not sure what the side skirt is...or if that would even flow..

Kamikaze is a wide body kit. You would be able to keep the Nismo front, but the Nismo rear will not line up with the skirts, so you would probably want the Varis rear as well.

The KAMIKAZE Varis kit is every wider than than vented fenders, which are 10mm. I couldn't find exact measurements but its probably around 1.5 - 2 INCHES wider than stock - thats ALOT of body work to make the fenders/sideskirts flow with a stock bumper.

At that rate you're dropping the car off to a body shop and doing some major fab work, because you're going to need to cut and rivet/mold on REAR over fenders as well to match up the width. And the Varis KAMIKAZE stuff is already thousands of dollars. There are maybe 3 in existence (Varis, Galeforce, and one drift team IIRC)

The regular Varis vented fenders are also going to need some work to flow with a nismo bumper because those add on pieces don't quite line up, at least for the 15+ Nismos

Even with this small image you can see the gap in the front/lower tip of those fender extensions

Apparently there are two types made of this fender. Makes sure you find out which is which before you buy.

OptionZero 08-18-2017 03:41 PM

i wonder if the only difference is the add-on pieces

These are the only images I have been able to find, but they are not the best.

The picture shows a few other differences, but for the most part I think yo are right.

I wouldn't be too sure since on the Varis website both fenders are shown to come with 6 pieces

VARIS Z34 FAIRLADY Z ARISING - II

OptionZero 08-19-2017 09:59 AM

I can't figure out why there are 2 part#s
One of them mentions the factory bumper? I imagine it's the 13+ OEM bumper since there is no mention of Nismo, and these jdm companies typically note nismo if it's for the nismo

We will be the first to combo the Nismo front w/ the Varis fenders/skirts.

What you need to know and realize though, is the fenders WILL NOT comply w/ the Nismo front w/ the standard "add-on" piece that comes with the fenders. The nismo 09-14 front is the only front that contours inwards to the center vent vs contouring downwards continually.

2 options are to 1) have the add-on piece (fiberglass) modified
or 2) for the cleanest look, have your Nismo front widened and keep the contour bodyline going right into the fender. This is the option we chose.

Only debate we have currently is if we can pull off the Kamikaze wing with the OEM fender lines or not as it is extremely aggressive but very usable for TimeAttack.
