Not sure what to do next... I've added a few carbon fiber trim pieces for the interior but that's it.

wow dude... this car looks great!!!!

this car belonged to one of our fellow members here before... his name was motoextreme...

Nissan 370Z Forum - motoextreme's Album: My Z Mods....more coming!! - Picture

Jasonle 09-05-2013 07:27 AM

That looks sick!

theDreamer 09-05-2013 08:06 AM

Wow, glad to see that car still living.
More mods to do, tough call. More power you can add a twin turbo kit or SC kit, can look into doing some interior upgrades, or just drive the car as is and enjoy it.

welcome and congrats! glad you are enjoying it!! :happydance:

mag_black 09-05-2013 08:48 AM

Powah! The car already looks great.

Z-Girl 12 09-05-2013 08:50 AM

Shadezz 09-05-2013 09:09 AM

Nice find!!

That 458 looks so sexy.

I think I'm going to do the Stillen sc kit. I feel I have to do something to be able to say its mine. Lol

The bumper is a little chipped up. I need to find a shop in Cali that can just paint the bumper. I did raise the car a tiny bit so I don't scrape every where. My old manager works at Nissan and I was thinking he could order me a navi or even the 2014 jdm steering wheel. Not sure!!!

Nav will be crazy expensive, mainly because between the non-nav to nav are completely different A/C controls making it difficult to change over. If you do this option please post up a nice long review, as you will be the first.
Another option, which I always point people to is the head unit in the lower portion and a custom screen (carPC or obd2 read out) in the upper screen. Find picture below of my example of this option.

2014 steering wheel would be nice, also look into a few CF companies on here who can do a CF wheel using the OEM wheel. If you go with the Stillen SC please get a custom tune to make sure everything is 100% (there pre-loaded tune is known to be very subpar).

On the boost notion, forget everything that car had added, but other good upgrades to look into along with boost:
-Radiator
-Oil cooler
-Clutch/flywheel/csc
-Radiator fan upgrade

Oh man that's bad ***...I'll have to look that up. What type of gadget is that in the top cubby? I'm still enjoying the car it will take me a bit to have the funds and desire to do something drastic. I can't have it at a shop for too long because its my dd.

theDreamer 09-05-2013 03:08 PM

The top screen is being ran by HKS camp2, which I believe is not sold anymore new. Can find them but probably used.
Another Z owner in Houston runs a similar design as mine, but uses a carPC for his upper screen. It just loads directly into the gauges, I can get more details on his build.

Count Maddox 09-05-2013 10:44 PM

That's a nice fit. Gives it some tech features that look standard in a super car.

sylpher 09-05-2013 11:08 PM

Real nice ride. Great find!

Thanks.... Wasn't really looking for a car. I just saw it on cars.com and made a call. Sold my Acura RSX-S a few weeks later. Big upgrade for me. Lol

Here is the other one in Houston, he used the same OEM nav piece but when it came to fill in where the keys were for the OEM piece he went a different route. He shaved off the larger 1.5" piece and left the lower HU for the base setup go all the way up and now he is building a piece that molds right into that spot.

Work in progress picture of his:

Oh I c... That's some creative thinking. It should turn out well. Thanks for the info. Helps out a lot.

///PureSwank 09-07-2013 04:59 AM

Count Maddox 09-08-2013 09:43 PM

Haha... Not sure I would say that. I got to drive the 458 and its extremely badass!

Did not say it performed better lol. But from the looks of that picture. That black 370z looks straight out better. Sorry bro, I'm open minded. I keeps it real.

Nice Nismo

motoextreme lives on! :tup: hope you can come out sometime to a meet!

Fly1 Motorsports 09-09-2013 03:28 PM

Always loved motoextreme's Z! Glad to see it still around. The tinted JDM tails, matte/CF combo are simply killer :tup:

Some carbon fiber RS1 fenders to tie in w/ the hood would always be a nice touch, wink-wink!!

fuct 09-09-2013 03:49 PM

always loved this nismo, keep her looking good!

Voice59 09-09-2013 05:12 PM

Love the satin black paint! I've been wanting to make that jump for a while...
