:stirthepot::leghump::leghump:

Just put on 20 staggered XXR 526 rims and a Stillen Gen 2 intake Hoping to find an exhaust on here next!

U interested in a stillen ??? Let me know mine coming off soon

Nothing too crazy...

Looking to get my lights done, front lip, side blades, duckbill (maybe).

Nothing to the engine just yet... Still have warranty..

Money is going to my "Wedding" mod.... 1,000,000 WHPOWAH!!

I've got an RJM clutch pedal assembly that's been sitting in my garage since mid-Jan. I might get to it this year :ugh:

How muuuuch?

Mod plans:

Tein Springs
Berk HFC or CBE if a good deal comes up
10/15mm Spacers

Wide body, and built motor if things work out.

Finished:
Painted door handles
Z emblems
SPL rear camber arms
34row Z1 (setrab) oil cooler
Zspeed under shroud
Lastly I finally installed all my carkitcompany products as well (only took two years :ugh2: :facepalm:)

Still to come:
SPL traction arms
SPL lock out bolt kit
Tires……:driving:
some serious detailing Z needs a polish and wax

Wish list:

Im thinking So far
Exhaust ,just dont know what way to go yet????
Black out my headlights
Paint my hood grill either red or black , not sure yet
Professional car buff and wax
Add to my stereo system
Few goodies under the hood( top secret) :stirthepot:

Not sure yet,will keep you updated

Planning on CAI and FI Catback for major mods. Changing out the start button when it arrives. Thought about doing spacers but need to do more homework on it.

Just did my Headunit, and waiting on new rims. 10 to 12 week delivery on SSR GTV03 rims is killing me.

Those are niiice rims! Take some pics when you get them on. :tup:

Guaranteed:
TE37SL
KWV3
Full Amuse kit
HKS Hi-Power Exhaust
Gloss black roof
Fairlady Z emblem
GT-R button
Evo-R foglight, the stock is too bright.

Maybe:
HFC
Intakes
Swaybar
Evo-R B-pillar

Sway Bars
25 Row Oil Cooler
Wheels
Carbon wing add-on
Carbon A-Pillar (Just ordered)

I'm keeping it simple as I haven't even owned my Z for a full year yet.

Stillen exhaust (installed last weekend, thanks for the help Mike)
Oil Cooler (probably closer to June)
Sways (maybe)

I also need to get my side skirt and back bumper repainted but that won't be till end of the fall.

How do you like the Stillen exhaust?

Only mod I need this year is vanilla scented air-vent freshener.

I feel you mate. Waiting on SSR GTV01s here. Apparently they're way behind production. :(

Where are you getting them shipped from?

1) Full exhuast (Will be HFC's into AAM mid pipe with AAM short tails).

2) UpRev

Unfortunately I won't even put it on my 2014 wish list cause I know there's no chance in hell I will be getting it with the wife on mat leave this year :ugh2:

Also no problem on the helping hand glad it all worked out. Hope you are enjoying the new z grumble :tup:

Done/2014
Z Speed black undershroud
CSF upgraded aluminum Racing rad and condenser
mitishimoto thermostat
AAM oil spacer
wrap down pipes(turbo blankets didnt fit)
window tint

Want List
Coilovers
tires
handling stuff

Wish List for 2014...
1 New Tires: Front & Rear. Looking at Bridgestone S04 Pole Position
2 Wheel Spacers: Front , 20mm , Back 25mm : Not sure type or manufacture yet
3 CBE : Ark GRiP Exhaust

I know my $$ situation is tight, but as I said ...that's my Wish List :tup:

Ive only driven with it for about a week but I am liking it. Not crazy loud but loud enough when you get on it. Nice low purr when idling and downshifting sounds very good as well. Fit is also good.

I haven't had anyone drive my car so I can hear a drive by but I might get a buddy to do it this weekend so I can get a different perspective. From inside with the windows down I like it. Im still on stock cats but maybe this will push me to hfc next year.

btw Mike, I finally got that bolt fixed. 30 minute job lol.

Edit: got my friend to finally do a drive by and I must day the stillen exhaust sounds very good from outside. Reminds me sort of like an f1 car when you get on it but cruising or driving non aggressively it's got a really nice low sound. Very pleased.

anyone considering spacers

JUST GET H&R DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY$$$

:icon18:

Where did you get your H&R spacers? They have 15mm DRS and 20mm on Stillen.com for about $100 per pair. Is that fair?

I ordered mine 7 weeks ago and was told 10 to 12 weeks delivery. Checked with the shop today to see if they have anything more definitive on a date and that would be a big no.

I'm stuck on snows till then, very frustrating. New to the car and can't put any power down. 245 snows on the rears with the weather warming up are not my friends.

got mine from Fred Beans Parts - FBNISSAN :tiphat:

I think that is approx what I paid, I have 20mm DRS up front and 25mm DRM on the rears

Would DRS be ok for the rears as well?

Might order from Stillen, a bit cheaper than Fred Beans Parts.

DRS is best :tup:

but IIKR once you get up to 25mm DRM you can fit the lug nut within the spacer so nothing is poking out like it does with 20mm DRM. I am also not 100% if they actually even make DRS any larger then 20mm :ugh2:

another attempt at a custom intake. Open CNC'd velocity stack on end of intake tube, sealed in OEM airbox with OEM ducting and high flow filter.

No harm in trying...

Im gonna put on my front spacers this week end too

ordered:

PSS front and rear
Wilwood BBK 14" front and 13" rear
diff fluid
MT fluid

About a year ago I replaced my front emblem with an EVO-R Z emblem. I finally removed the rear emblem on Thursday (a fellow forum member needed one). Hopefully I'll install the rear Z emblem sometime soon :icon17:

fixed :icon18::icon18::icon18:

stock foglight
 

AMUSE370Z I might buy it. I cannot see out the back tint. let me know if it is for sale. I don't have 1 at all on my 2009.THANKS
