Tuners Take 2023 Nissan Z To The Next Level With Wide Body Kit And Deep Dish WheelsDark, sinister, stealth, but quite conspicuous, this Liberty Walk 2023 Nissan Z widebody could be someone’s late Christmas present.On their YouTube channel, Throtl, the popular tuners took a brand new 2023 Nissan Z and transformed it into a widebody stealth fighter for the road. But it was a lot more work than just bolting on an aftermarket body kit and calling it a day. The team were on a quest to build a Liberty Walk 2023 Nissan Z, so the upgrades are quite evidently extensive, albeit predominantly cosmetic.But upgrades underneath the skin were certainly required to match the exuberant widebody look. With some NISMO parts, the Japanese sports car now breathes better and rides lower courtesy of a new intake, exhaust and suspension systems. But before they begin building the first and only Nissan Z with a Liberty Walk widebody kit in the U.S., the team at Throtl must reveal its true colors.The team begin the project with a Z that has already been altered from its factory form. The hood was from aftermarket with air vents. The stock wheels were replaced with the five-spoke chrome kind. Lastly, the body was wrapped in purple chrome. So before the build could start, the Z had to be thoroughly cleaned, and the wrap peeled off to reveal the original paint of the car.

The original color on the Nissan was the factory black diamond pearl color option. It would also be the final color the team would eventually use for the build. Strangely, the team decided to fit off-road tires to the Z and see what it's like to drive on dirt. Attempting a few donuts and light roughroading, it was clear that the Z was quite capable off the beaten path. Back to the workshop, the Throtl team begin stripping the car down to ready it for the upgrades.From the factory, the latest generation Nissan Z is available in three solid exterior color options. They include Rosewood Metallic, Gun Metallic and Black Diamond Pearl. But six other choice of colors are available; Everest White TriCoat, Brilliant Silver Metallic, Boulder Gray Pearl, Seiran Blue TriCoat, Passion Red TriCoat and Ikazuchi Yellow TriCoat all come with black painted roofs. However, the NISMO Z, on the other hand, has a more limited palette of five color choices, which are solid Black Diamond Pearl, or the split-tone Passion Red TriCoat​​​​​​, Everest White TriCoat, Brilliant Silver Metallic​​​​​​ and a new bespoke color of Stealth Gray.In the video, the team replace the stock seats with more supportive sporty seats. We can see the stock rails could not accommodate the new seats, so the team had to fabricate and modify them to fit. Then the stock exhaust on the new Z was removed. Throtl has now equipped the sports car with a new Magnaflow xMod series performance exhaust system with extreme delete pipes which would unlock some performance and sound better.Next, a package arrives with the Liberty Walk body kit, some instructions, and a book with the label "SEMA Second Kit" confirming it is the second in the world and first in the U.S. The team unboxed the body kit and compared the modified bumpers to the original to find out how substantially aggressive to stock.2023 Nissan Z Engine Specs

Infiniti Q50Fast Facts About The Liberty Walk Nissan Z
It is the first Liberty Walk Nissan Z in the U.S.
This is the second Nissan Z body kit made in the world.
The exhaust was upgraded with a Magnaflow xMod system.
After masking up the front fenders and rear quarter panels, the team line up the wider wheel arches and drilling the holes to install the new parts. The Liberty Walk body kit now makes the car wider by a massive 80 mm (3.1 inches). The next piece is the three-piece rear ducktail spoiler that is aligned and bolted to the trunk lid. They then overlay a more aggressive rear diffuse to the factory bumper.It was then time to align and fit the accentuated front bumper and completely transform the Z. The old bumper and previous hood were both replaced to match the kit, and the front fenders were aligned to complete the look.
