【Speedhunters译起看车】Veilside，对日产新400Z下手了！

原标题：FFZ400: VeilSide Kicks Off Z-Fever

The 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon is all go, and if you caught my preview post this morning you’ll know that modified versions of Nissan’s new Z are – as expected – on show in numbers. One of the most anticipated RZ34 builds belongs to VeilSide.

2023年东京汽车沙龙于1月14日开幕，如果你已经看了关于这次展览的各种预告，你就会知道日产新Z的改装版本-正如预期的那样-是整场车展的重头戏。而我认为，最值得期待的Rz34当属于Veilside。

Knowing how cool this car was going to be (Yokomaku-san teased us with plenty of progress shots late last year) I made a plan to visit VeilSide ahead of TAS and take a proper look.

知道这款车会有多酷(Yokomaku-san去年年底就开始给我们发相关的图片)，我计划在TAS之前访问VeilSide，提前目睹这台车的尊荣。

Luckily for me, there was no last-second ‘TAS crunch’ dash to the finish line; Yokomaku-san had the car completed right on schedule, meaning there were a few days for me to get it shot at VeilSide HQ before it was transported to the Makuhari Messe.

幸运的是，这台车并没有因为种种原因延迟完成；Yokomaku-san按时完成了这辆车，这意味着在它被运送到Makuhari Messe之前，我有几天时间在VeilSide总部拍摄它。

So here it is, the VeilSide FFZ400 – ‘FF’ likely to be an acronym of the Fast and the Furious. There’s history, remember.

于是，就有了这一台Veilside FFZ400——“FF”大概是“速度与激情”的缩写。别忘了，这可是Veilside的光辉历史。

Nissan’s new Z has well and truly been given the VeilSide treatment, and it all came together in the space of just two months.

不到两个月的时间，日产崭新的Z就得到了Veilside的“全套服务”。

The classic VeilSide elements are all very much here, starting at the front with an elongated bumper that makes the car look like it’s going 300km/h down the Wangan even when it’s parked up.  The stock grille has been integrated into the design and is joined by four additional openings on the splitter portion of the new bumper with even larger grilled-off intakes in between.

在这台车上保留了许多Veilside的经典元素，比如正脸修长的保险杠。虽然此刻这台车静止着，但你不难想象它以300千米每小时狂飙的场景。进气格栅采取了一体化设计，并由新保险杠的分离器部分上的四个额外开口连接，中间还有更大的格栅进气口。

The choice to go orange could be a tip of the hat to the 432R race version of the S30 Fairlady Z that was only sold in Japan, but since Yokomaku-san is also calling the car “Han’s 400Z” we’ll let you decide where the color inspiration came from. Coincidentally, Nismo has also chosen to go with a similar orange hue for their RZ34 demo car.

选择橙色可能是对仅在日本销售的S30 Fairlady Z的432R比赛版本的致敬，但由于横滨山也称这辆车为“韩的400Z”，这台车的配色灵感就显得复杂了。巧合的是，Nismo也选择了一个类似的橙色色调为他们的RZ34演示车。

One detail that Yokomaku spent time refining is the area around the headlights. He really wanted to emphasize the lights’ shape, so added some sharp body lines in the area to achieve it.

Yokomaku花时间改进的一个细节是大灯周围的区域。他真的很想强调灯的形状，所以在这个区域添加了一些尖锐的车体线条。

The fenders also feature a contrasting vented addition comprised of a series of louvers that flow into the main vent detail.

挡泥板还设有一个对比鲜明的通风口，由一系列百叶组成，辅助引擎的进气系统

Because there’s nothing like hitting a button to achieve that perfect stance.

在气动悬挂的支持下，这台车只需要按下一个按钮就能达到最完美的姿态。

Yokomaku really likes the subtle S30 nod in the center of the hood, and has highlighted this Z-specific design detail in a unique way.

Yokomaku非常喜欢S30在引擎盖中心的突出设计，并以独特的方式强调了这种z特定的设计细节。

As we progress down the side profile, the skirts really help pull the whole look together.

从侧下方观察，你就会发现侧裙为车辆的整体感所做的微妙贡献。

Unlike VeilSide’s A90 Supra, the Z’s rear fenders have been left uncut, meaning what looks like a proper overfender is actually an FRP add-on applied over the original fender. Yokomaku thinks that most RZ34 owners won’t be keen on someone taking a grinder to their new purchase, so this solution gets you the look, but still keeps all the factory metal in place.

That said, the increase in width is still nicely achieved, with more than enough room for some decent rear rubber.

与VeilSide的A90 Supra不同，Z的后挡泥板没有被切割，这意味着看起来像一个合适的过度挡泥板实际上是一个FRP附加应用在原来的挡泥板上。Yokomaku认为大多数RZ34业主不会热衷于把自己崭新的爱车推到磨床前，所以这个解决方案既满足了视觉效果，又最大程度地保留了车体原厂完整性（@某位切割了法拉利F40的参展商，译者注）。

也就是说，这台车达成了宽体效果，但并不妨碍你为后轮做任何原厂的维修。

First up we have a set of Bride seats that were custom-made especially for this project.Look closely and you’ll see that they’ve trimmed in a suede-like fabric dotted with little VeilSide logos.To tie it into the rest of the cabin, the same fabric has been used on the door cards…

来到车内。首先，你会注意到一套专门为这个项目定制的Bride座椅。仔细看，你会发现它们用仿麂皮面料装饰，上面点缀着VeilSide的小logo。为了将它与机舱的其他部分结合在一起，门板上也使用了相同的面料……

And the steering wheel center. It really elevates the cabin’s feel while retaining the factory black scheme.

同样的设计体现在方向盘的中心区域。它在提升了车内视觉效果的同时，同样最大限度地保留了原厂的设计。

Lifting the heavy deck lid – heavy because the car now wears that big rear wing – reveals the air suspension setup. It almost resembles a horizontally-opposed two-cylinder engine.

Up front we have six cylinders of course. The V6 twin-turbo VR30DETT has been left in its stock state, as performance tuning is not something VeilSide specializes in these days.

打开沉重的引擎盖——这么说是因为汽车现在穿着大量的空气动力组件——你能看到车辆的空气悬挂设置。它就像一台水平对置的双缸发动机。

还有那六个汽缸。V6双涡轮VR30DETT还是原厂状态，因为就目前而言，性能调优并不是VeilSide的专长。

While the drag racing and high-speed trials of the ’80s and ’90s shaped Yokomaku’s past, the future of VeilSide is all about design.

虽然Veilside在80年代和90年代的飙车和高速试车塑造了这个横滨品牌的过去，但VeilSide的未来完全是关于设计。

VeilSide will, however, sell you their own exhaust system. Primarily because it’s a styling cue, but also because the stock Z is just way too quiet from factory.

然而，VeilSide会卖给你他们自己的排气系统。主要是因为排气口的造型与这身套件相配，但也因为原厂的Z，实在太“安静”了。

As I was finishing off the shoot, Yokomaku-san also grabbed some quick shots of the car, stating it was the first time he had seen it outside.

The 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon halls might be filled with amazing Zs in all flavors, but for me, this one’s extra special.

在我快要完成拍摄时，Yokomaku先生也亲自拍了几张，毕竟这是这台车第一次出厂。

2023东京改装展想必到处都是新的Z，但就我而言，这一台尤其的特殊。
