【Speedhunters译起看车】宽体+低趴！当Supra遇见300ZX
原标题：Zupra: A Wide, Low, 2JZ-Swapped 300ZX
原作者：Vladimir Ljadov
The Z32 Nissan 300ZX is an interesting car. Laden with tech from the factory, it was marketed as an attainable supercar alternative and, based on the success of previous Z models stateside, aimed at US buyers.
日产300ZX是一款有趣的车。它被宣传为一款“触手可及的超跑替代品”，并基于此前Z车型在美国的成功而主要针对美国买家。
More than 30 years after its debut, the Z32 still enjoys a loyal following around the world, and its design has survived the test of time. The same can be said of the A80 MkIV Toyota Supra which, thanks in most part to its 2JZ-GTE engine, is another Japanese performance car icon. Imagine then, combining the best parts of each car. Jesse Laaksonen from Finland doesn’t need to; he’s already done it – and then some – with his ‘Zupra’ build.
在z32亮相30多年后，她的忠实追随者已经遍布世界各地。它的设计经受住了时间的考验。同样的说法也可以用在另一台日本性能跑车代表——丰田A80 Supra上，这在很大程度上得益于其2JZ-GTE发动机。那么，如果把两辆车最好的部分结合起来，会如何呢？来自芬兰的Jesse Laaksonen做到了——并且不止一次——他创造出了全新的“Zupra”
Thanks to a father who tuned and drag raced cars, Jesse became fascinated in the automotive hobby from a young age. In 2019, this 1995 300ZX – a USDM model that had been exported to Finland a decade prior – became Jesse’s first car. Back then it was still powered by its original VG30DETT engine, and the thought of swapping it out, let alone going crazy with other modifications around the car hadn’t even crossed Jesse’s mind. But that thinking didn’t last long.
由于他的父亲热衷于改装和飙车，Jesse从小就迷上了汽车。2019年，这辆1995年的300ZX成为Jesse的第一辆车。这是一款10年前出口到芬兰的USDM车型。那时它仍然由它的原厂VG30DETT发动机提供动力，而且换掉它的想法，更不用说疯狂地添加其他改件的念头甚至没有闪现过杰西的脑海。但这种想法并没有持续多久。
Around a year into the project, Jesse started researching the 2JZ platform and the swap process. Soon after, the Nissan was beating to the sound of a Toyota drum.
零零散散的进行了大约一年的改装后，Jesse开始研究2JZ引擎和移植方案。不久之后，老日产就在丰田的声浪声中重新焕发生机。
Before it was fitted in the Z32, the 2JZ-GTE received a new set of bearings and the factory twin-turbos were ditched in favor of a big single Holset hybrid unit. It now features an upgraded crankshaft and forged pistons and rods, plus billet main caps.
在它被移植到Z32之前，2JZ-GTE换上了一套新的轴承，而原厂的双涡轮被抛弃，以支持一个大的独立Holset混合单元。它现在具有一个升级的曲轴和锻造活塞和杆，加上钢坯主帽。
The Toyota gearbox backing up the 2JZ uses a triple-plate OS Giken clutch that Juha Rintanen previously ran in his Nissan Silvia S15 Formula D car.
支持2JZ的丰田变速箱使用三板OS Giken离合器。没错，就是Juha Rintanen之前在他的日产Silvia S15漂移方程式赛车中的那款。
Once the mechanical aspect of the rebuild was complete, Jesse turned his attention to the 300ZX’s appearance. Rocket Bunny S13 over-fenders were purchased and re-molded for the Z, and deep-dish 18-inch Weds Kranze LXZ wheels were fitted up.
在机械方面的改装完备后，Jesse把他的注意力转向300ZX的外观。火箭兔为S13打造的挡泥板被重新塑造以为Z所用，并且搭配上了18英寸的Weds Kranze LXZ轮圈。
At this point, Jesse thought that the build was headed in the right direction, but felt like the exterior still needed some extra aggression. A GReddy front bumper and Bomex side skirts were acquired and fitted, the latter receiving some custom details from a local carbon fiber specialist. Finally, the steel and FRP bodywork was painted in a custom Midnight Purple hue with big metallic flakes for some extra sparkle.
这时，Jesse认为外观大体已经没有问题了；接下来所要做的是让其更具攻击性。一个灰色的前保险杠和Bomex侧裙被安装，后者在当地的碳纤维专家那里接受了一些细节方面的定制。最后，钢和玻璃钢车身被涂成定制的午夜紫色，金属部分则进行了抛光处理。
The aero-look was completed with a massive custom rear wing and my favorite small touch, Aerowolf mirror visors.
空气动力学组件还包括一个巨大的定制后翼和我最喜欢的小件：Aerowoif降阻后视镜。
To pull the whole look together, Jesse wanted to be able to drop the Z on the ground. A set of coilovers together with a Stanceparts air cup lift system allows the car to ride low, but also be raised up by 50mm at the touch of a button when required.
为了把整个造型组合在一起，杰西决定采用低趴的姿态。一套盘管和一个Stanceparts气杯提升系统，使车辆底盘高度大大降低，但在需要时也可以通过触碰按钮提高了50毫米。
Currently, the 2JZ delivers almost 600hp to the Z’s rear wheels, but in the future Jesse wants to reach the magical 1,000whp mark. He says that the car is best described by its appearance, but the mean and low look is not only for show. Jesse doesn’t hesitate to hit the track from time to time, and the Z is still versatile enough to drive to the shops. What more could you ask for?
目前，2JZ为Z的后轮提供了近600马力，但未来Jesse希望能突破令人望而却步的的1000马力大关。他说，这款车最好的最好的宣传是它的外观，但外观不仅仅是为了炫耀。改装时，jesse毫不犹豫地切中了要害。同时，这台Z还能满足日常的行驶需求。面对这样的一台300ZX，你还能要求什么呢?
