Several tuners have already worked their magic on the Nissan Z (traditionally called Fairlady Z in Japan), but many hardcore fans of the nameplate were waiting forLiberty Walk’s entry into the game. The Japanese tuner has now unveiled an extravagant body kit for the latest generation of Nissan’s sportscar, giving it the appearance of having sprung straight out of a digital rendering.
The visual upgrades were initially teased last May, but the first actual car was completed just a few days ago. The final design stays true to the renderings, and to Liberty Walk’s style. The most notable update is the redesigned front bumper, featuring a sharper, elongated nose positioned above a wide, unified intake and a chin spoiler. This design is complemented by the tuner’s signature bolt-on wide fender extensions, which are painted black to match the vented hood.

The rear end is equally captivating, thanks to the new ducktail spoiler that spans the entire width of the vehicle. Liberty Walk appreciated the design of the stock bumper and left it largely untouched, except for the addition of a diffuser snugly positioned between the noticeably larger exhaust pipes. For the presentation vehicle, the tuner opted for a striking orange hue, complemented by black accents.
Similar to many Liberty Walk offerings, the body kit is showcased on a heavily modified Nissan Fairlady Z, which has been slammed to the ground, thanks to a new air suspension system. The car is fitted with a new set of RS Watanabe alloy wheels wrapped in ultra-wide Advan tires, complementing the bold fender extensions.

There is no mention of performance modifications, allowing owners the freedom to choose their preferred aftermarket enhancements. The stock twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine produces 400 hp (298 kW / 405 PS) and 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) in the Fairlady Z, or a slightly healthier 414 hp (309 kW / 420 PS) and 520 Nm (383.5 lb-ft) in the Nismo version, which also comes with stiffer suspension and upgraded brakes straight from the factory.
If you’re curious about the cost of the Liberty Walk body kit, the full set is priced at $9,328 when made of FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) or $11,583 for the cooler CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic) version. Additionally, each component can also be purchased individually.
