Automobile Cinema: Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift: Nissan 350Z

The original Nissan 350Z (pictured below), was commonly known as the Fairlady. It was produced from 2002 to 2009, featuring a 3.5L V6 producing 214kw @ 6200 rpm. With a front-mid engine, rear wheel drive layout this car is considered to be a perfect handling car, thus used for the film Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

Universal Pictures, extensively modified a Stock 350Z (pictured below) for it to be featured as a main vehicle on Fast and Furious. The first thing that catches most people's attention is the full Veilside Ver.3 wide body aerodynamic kit, complete with a new front end, front and rear over fenders, side skirts, rear bumper and a nicely-sculpted rear spoiler. Under that Veilside carbon fiber hood sits a twin turbocharged 3.5L V6 while Magnoflow provided the exhausts. According to universal pictures, this engine set up produced approximately 340kws at the wheels.

Drift King's Nissan Fairlady 350Z is first seen racing with Sean in the parking garage, easily beating Sean. The car is seen when DK and Morimoto chase Han (for skimming money from his uncle's business). The car spins out when Han taps his front bumper, but no damage is take. The car is last seen on suicide mountain.
