Transformation into a Cyberpunk Car
The Nissan 350Z appeared 23 years ago, but its proportions and components allow it to remain an excellent base for bold modifications. Californian Moises Mendoza transformed his Z into something between a concept car and a prop from a movie.
Mendoza, known on Instagram as Zleyuz, claims that his creation was inspired by the visual style of “Cyberpunk 2077” and “Blade Runner 2049”.
His profile shows that this 350Z went through at least four stages of styling before acquiring its current appearance.
Technical Features of the Modification
During the last transformation, the sports car received headlights from the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 with custom LED elements, giving them a resemblance to Lexus. The front bumper combines elements of the 350Z and BRZ, complemented by a hood with ventilation holes.

The car’s profile features wide body kits imported from Japan, with additional ventilation holes and spoilers. The doors, roof, and glass part remained unchanged, but the rear was significantly redesigned.
Unique Design Solutions
The most noticeable feature is the full-size LED panel from the Porsche 911. The Z also received a large rear spoiler, a square diffuser with dual exhaust pipes, and a custom rear panel that creates the impression of a split rear window.
The modified sports car is installed on a pneumatic suspension and ultra-wide custom wheels with stretched low-profile tires.

Future Technical Updates
Under the hood remains the Nissan’s 3.5-liter V6 engine, which now works with a Nitrous system. However, the owner plans to replace the Japanese engine with a 6.2-liter V8 from GM, which will make this unique project even more interesting to drive.

This creation is hard to call inconspicuous, but that’s exactly what its creator aimed for. Whether you like this car depends on your attitude towards tuning culture and how far creativity can go when changing a car’s character. For those who appreciate innovative projects, this 350Z is a fully realized vision.
Similar projects demonstrate how classic sports cars can find new life through radical modifications. The owner not only changed the appearance but also plans to significantly update the technical components, making this project dynamic and evolving. Such transformations often become a source of inspiration for other tuning enthusiasts, showing the potential of even long-released models.
