Winter mods...?
 
OK Z drivers..

Zat_Zuma 03-04-2010 05:25 PM

Not telling :tiphat:

You'll have to wait and see

Going to clean out the garage and start up the Z next week. Let the mods begin :tup:

Tinted my tail lights, installed chromed amber turn signals, blacked out my headlights and installed 8000K HID bulbs. Got about 80% of my nitrous kit installed but thats on hold until another vendor gets 1 step colder plugs because GTM wants to charge me $1430 for the plugs, which is ok but then another $105 to ship them...f-that.

I bought 2x 10" subs with a 1200W amp but im waiting until warm weather comes so i can use my ZX6R while my friend has the car in the shop to install those with a custom sub box and at the same time he's installing a compustar alarm and remote starter.

Also ordered is a full nismo body kit...now im just shopping for a painter.

List of mods this winter:

Philipp 03-04-2010 08:18 PM

- Cabin air filter;
- FairLady emblem (makes about 35WHP right of the box...);
- GroundKit;
- RoyalPurple oil change before storage (does that count for a mod?).

It's changing the original oil that came stock with the car, yes its a mod..lol.

takayuki 03-04-2010 09:59 PM

i did absolutely nothing!! only because i might be selling the car to go back to a 240z..... but if it doesn't sell by end of april, i'm keeping it.... THEN let the modding begin!

WoZZer 03-05-2010 09:33 AM

Still under wraps... but added a 2010 Maxima SV to the collection.

IDZRVIT 03-05-2010 11:11 AM

For many reasons, but the main reasons are.. I've always been to old cars, and nothing else drives quite like a 240z (mine was lightly modded)! There's driving characteristics that you can only get in a old car.... and same goes for newer cars. I just like older cars just a tad bit. If i can, i'd like to have both but i have no room at my place.

Yup.... if there is any parking left. Look forward to seeing your mod'ed beast.

If the weather holds, a meet at the end of March may be in order as noted in other threads.

I don't think the weather will hold ........ we are due for a blizzard or two before the end of May ...... I always aim for driving the car on the roads for the first week of June.

Snakes709 03-07-2010 04:51 PM

I wish May would get here sooner, i really wanna bring my ZX6R out

WoZZer 03-07-2010 08:24 PM

Okay... so I'm being optimistic. In any case, lets work on a date once the weather is appropriate (mid-April... oh there I go again).

FricFrac 03-09-2010 03:29 PM

I could be driving but I keep having to cut the grass... should have just left it instead of mowing it three weeks ago.... :P

Jules 03-10-2010 07:41 AM

Alright got the exhaust yesterdays and it will be on on thursday night can't wait ... Still waiting on the Cai to install it on friday.

takayuki 03-10-2010 04:43 PM

Well, i decided to not sell my car today after taking it for a drive! I'm in love again!! Let the modding begin!

Possibly. I wasn't keeping track of time. If it was silver with persimmon interior.. That would be me.

takayuki 03-10-2010 09:56 PM

I did drive up that way during rush hour.. but my car is 100% stock(sport package). Must've been someone else?

takayuki 03-10-2010 10:07 PM

actually, what separates my car from other silver ones(for now) is that i have satin black paint around the exhaust and foglight area. If that's the car you saw. that would be moi.

Jules 03-11-2010 08:01 PM

Holy **** it sounds so nice ! low growl under 4000 rpm wow I just love it.
Invidia Gemini is bad ***.

Ordered the Stillen grounding kit and Gen II CAI plus H&R spacers today.... can't wait!

wheee! 03-21-2010 09:41 PM

Hey Jules! How's the Gemini exhaust sounding now? Any different after burning in?

takayuki 03-26-2010 04:07 PM

wheee! 03-26-2010 04:22 PM

Can't wait for the GTG! I need to hear all these mods!!!!

takayuki 03-26-2010 04:28 PM

Sounds great! Sounds almost like stock when cruising and when you step on it, completely different. i haven't heard anything else in person so i can't really compare but i'm pretty happy! Its got the right volume for my taste... not obnoxiously loud. Fits great too

wheee! 03-26-2010 04:45 PM

Where from and how much with delivery etc? PM me!

Jules 03-27-2010 04:52 PM

Hey sorry I was thinking i've answered you before about the exhaust ... It is still w/out any drones or weird shaking. Low deep like I wanted.

Jules 03-28-2010 02:52 PM

Here some youtube links of my car enjoy!

Jules 03-28-2010 04:46 PM

No still the winter ones ... I'm going monday for the switch.

budlight 03-28-2010 05:11 PM

I'd be interested to see what you've done, but YouTube is currently down.

Jules 03-28-2010 08:03 PM

I'm sure it won't be long it's youtube there fast.

I gotta admit, the new Maxima is a beautiful "family" sedan. Love what Nissan did to "freshen" up a boring design. Congrats!
