Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Final Build Thread for My Z33- She's Done

Waiz · 08-08-2013, 04:57 PM

I have owned my Z for the last 7+ years and have really learned so much from building it into what you see today. Not only have I made a bunch of friends I have also really enjoyed driving this car and look forward to keeping it for as long as I possibly can.

With that being said, I can now safely say that I have achieved everything I could have wanted for this car and can now say that my build is done.

My overall theme is more of a grand touring car which I an enjoy on the weekends but still be able to handle an occasional canyon run

Enjoy the pics and I will list the entire spec sheet at the end of the post

Starting out with what I always have thought was my favorite angle of my car, it shows off all of the modifications and highlight the rear end

Side profile shot showing my new NISMO V3 style front bumper with V2 canards. I was trying to get the flags to both be showing but gave up lol

The new front bumper is by far the longest bumper I have ever run but it is surprisingly not that low at all which helps for me

Closeup of the front bumper with the canards placed in a similar location that my V2 bumper utilized, I also opted to run a front emblem to allow for definition

My buddies at Mardikian Automotive also gave the car a nice polish so the paint looks really good even for a 9+ year old car

The Potenza RE760's tires are more wide than they are tall so fender clearance is the best on any tire I have run

5 years ago this month I bought my wheels and had them painted, I go out of my way for them to look like this and it tells you that hand washing really pays off

This has also been a favorite angle of mine, shows off my tucked rear bumper and GT-Spec rear tire bar

I love this spoiler even though alot of others don't. You need to have a full exterior to pull it off IMO

You can see my black and silver theme throughout the car, including my emblems

Still plenty of clearance with the rear wheels, mmm shiny!

You can definitely tell this is a much more daily-driver friendly setup, defintely wider than any other setup I have run too

I love this photo, sun was setting and it really shows off the Silverstone
