Well guys, if you look at my old post back in 2014-2015 I had a 2010 370z touring did full bolt ons had lots of fun!! Plenty of speed! Well after it got totaled thanks to a non licensed girl driving her dads big lifted truck. I got a 5.0 mustang (wanted to try out the v8 big boy life) and then got tired of the crowd jokes haha so got a slammed Audi (because I wanted to try boosted awd life) well I was stationed in the north in Idaho !! And tried having a big lifted truck 2011 Sierra ! Well guys after long wait.... I'm back 2012 touring + sport package !!


I'm back ;) going visual mods with this one! Wheels, coils, duck bill spoiler, front lip, paint work, etc just all visuals!

So far we got SPC camber arms + toe bolts, Tanabe coils, Aodhan DS02 wheels, 275/35 & 245/45 tires, 5% tint sides & back / 30% windshield , gloss black vinyl wrapped A Pillars.
Waiting on Z1 to send me extended studs so I can put 10mm Spacers in rear.
Then...

Next on the list is 16-18kg springs for front (fronts not stiff enough) and swapping the 10kg on the front onto rear to replace the 8kg that's on there, then cat back, test pipes, intake, duck bill spoiler, rear diffuser, front lip (maybe?) I probably rip it off in a week. But we will see. Then side splitters. Not sure what else after that! Any other ideas??

AstatenateZ 08-28-2017 01:04 PM

Got new stiff springs. Now running 18kg F and 14kg R ! Rides amazing. Not uncomfortable like you would think. Also got my Top Speed Pro1 cat back, AAM non catted test pipes , and Takeda SR intakes installed this weekend! Next comes 4 point harness, 15+ nismo bumpers front & rear! Also duck bill came in this weekend and is now in paint, installed next week!

Got my harnesses installed (I know the track nazis are going to tell me this is unsafe) using my OEM seat. I just wanted to show it's possible. I have the shoulder straps under the carpet to the cross member of the frame. Welded an i-Bolt and attached the shoulder harnesses mounts. The bottoms I removed seat and track and installed a universal mounting bar from Sparco and connected the lap straps down! Very comfy and locked up the brakes a few times to see. Definitely going to need some comfort pads but it does it's job and doesn't slide or let me go anywhere. Feels a lot more assuring. Bonus: it looks cool :tup:

AstatenateZ 09-15-2017 02:31 PM

Next is, 15+ Nismo front & rear bumper, duck bill installed, looking into oil catch can and PCV delete.

Got the duck bill out of paint + installed, now all I got left is 15+ Nismo F & R bumpers! Unless I go boost or bags I’m beginning to near the end of my list of things I wanna do!

I paid my paint guy $150 per bumper ($300 total) for painting. $80 for a QT of good PPG paint. And probably $40-50 in supplies (sand papers, scotch pads, adhesion promoter, cleaning supplies) so right at about $400 for all

I do all my own prepping and finishing. So he just paints them and does the work in between coats of paints. Like fine sanding and taping / masking off.

I do the first prep. And I also do the final wet sanding and buffing myself. So it saves me a lot of $$$

Quicksilvers 02-25-2018 07:53 PM

Congratulations those bumpers look very sharp your painter did a excellent job on them and gave you a really good deal. Do you plan on doing any other cosmetic exterior modifications?
