Assuming I still have this car, I have lots of plans for the future of the exterior. I'm just leaving it as is for now since I have a lot on my plate. Plus, I'd rather get the power mods done. I'd love to build the motor up and turn it into a monster first.

Here's the plan for the future look of the car if I were to continue this project.

2015 NISMO front and side skirts
Original rear bumper, but with something along the lines of the Varis CF rear diffuser.
Version 3.0 of the headlights, which is pretty much the same, but updated LED design and circuitry. I might opt for DRL setup, but slightly dim the landing strip LEDs when the headlights are turned on. I'd mount the turn signal projector lens deeper to reduce sun damage.
More subtle CF stuff.
Repaint the car with a dark graphite finish (yum)

In regards to the sale of this car. I'm keeping this car, but I am open to offers to see if someone wants to continue with the project.

I've been following this thread on an off. Man I can't believe how long this has been up. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to unload the car but at the same time it seems like you were destined to have it for just a bit more time.

I like your list of plans for the car and it seems like it could really come out awesome. Hopefully I'll run into a thread where you show some pics of the car after it gets painted etc.

It's difficult to let go... so I'm trying to hang in there for another year even though I'm still open to sell it. I don't care for anything else either.

I'm in a similar situation as others... new house (2 years now), but I didn't plan on being alone in it.

Oh man I'm sorry to hear that. I know it sucks when you plan on things working in a specific way and nothing working out like that.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying your car still though. At least you have that to keep you from losing it completely

DIGItonium · 07-14-2014, 11:28 AM

For anyone who is interested, I am technically still "open" to selling the car. The reason why I've not caved in to selling it is because I have not met with anyone who is serious enough to discuss. I understand there are several factors involved such as longevity and given the history of this car.

I can simply keep this car, but I am also constantly reassessing my current situation. It is not that easy to plan ahead, which is why I have to be ready give up the car at some point if the situation becomes dire.

Thanks again for inquiring.

Beautiful car, been watching this for a while. Wish I had gotten more for my H2 and could of gotten this beast. Hope all goes well!

digitonium, if I can sell my car here in tulsa for the amount im wanting, I will drive to you and buy the car from you. I have a few people interested in my 370z, so im hoping I can sell. I was looking into getting a Nismo, but came across this post today and fell in love with your Z man lol. giggity!

ever since I went BMW TT I cant go away from a TT setup. Just too much power to unlock with it. But I miss the VQ engine so much. I may be switching sometime soon.

Despite some quirks with the VVEL setup and response, the VQ definitely sounds great and has its own characteristics especially after slapping on some turbos. I saw the new M5 the other day, and it definitely sounds silky smooth. I've seen a few Porsche on the road, but for some reason I'm not too crazy about the engine sound on the N/A ones.

Quite honestly it is difficult to letting my Z go. I've yet to find anyone faithful enough to seriously want to purchase it. Lots of flakes. Then again I'm not making it that easy to sell the car, but mainly to weed out the flakes. Hanging on to it tests my patience to work my butt off the next couple of years to clear my plate. The car is paid off, so that's a start.

The engine is running great, so I don't see any point building it. I'd rather get it tuned for better response and change the look with a new color scheme.

DIGI,

Only in my wildest dreams I can even come close to the specs of your amazing Z. Since your car is paid off, why not keep it? I wish I have a car like yours.

Oh boy, if I ever receive the settlement money from my car accident when I got T-boned in 2012, I'd buy your car in a heartbeat and still keep my car as a garage queen while I slowly mod her up.

GLWS and bump for a supernice Z!

DIGItonium · 09-14-2014, 01:13 AM

Thanks. I'm just open to sell it to serious buyers. So far I've been getting flakes. But I don't mind keeping and building it up. It's just difficult to balance home ownership and car project. Seriously though it's difficult to let it go.

DIGItonium · 09-23-2014, 09:13 PM

Bump. Still looking for a serious buyer. Nothing much changed. Price updated. I still need to find time to remove the lip kit.

DIGItonium · 10-09-2014, 10:32 AM

Bump... still looking for serious buyer to take over this project.

DIGItonium · 10-14-2014, 11:09 AM

Bumpity bump!
