As of 04/07/2016 I had my brand new Nismo R-tune long tube Cold Air Intake system installed as well as the Fly1 Motorsports Carbon Fiber RS1 Vented Fenders.

The filament of the Carbon fiber is B-E-A-U-TIFULL :happydance:
The fitment is also amazing, The only flaws I see are the little space by the crevice of the headlight, but it is not like the fender corner is crooked in there like a lot of people have problems with, mine is straight on, just about a quarter inch short, possibly less.
The only other flaw I see is the passenger side fender has a slightly bigger gap between the hood and the fender.

They are an amazing addition to the Z and I can't wait for later this week when I go back in to get the Carbon Fiber SS Vented Hood installed.

For now here are some pics :driving:

Thanks Brotha! I am so stoked with how these fenders turned out that I cannot wait for the hood to go on this week. The hood looks just as good in filament as well!

I'll post some pictures later this week if the install happens. I am also waiting on a front side Fender liner since mine tore off a while back. Tryna protect the new intake filters a bit from rain and dirt.

What do you mean if you keep the Z? :icon14:

I'm hoping for the best for you two! Definitely will want to see some pictures from the ceremonies

As for the fenders, Fly 1 Motorsports buddy :tiphat:
If you end up keeping the Z maybe looking into their sales later this year would be a good idea. I got mine on their Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales.

Time for another update: :ugh2:

Well, I've finally been able to install everything that I've been meaning to install and then some. The last two-three months have cost a pretty :twocents: in the upwards of $10k. Between the clutch system with csc elim kit being installed, to having to replace the entire pulley belt system alone with the tension and power steering belt systems; I've finally been able to install the rest of my aesthetics that have been sitting or waiting to get more important items fixed. Plus all the labor cost it has been a tight budgeted last couple of months, but am making it through with that hustle :eekdance:

Here are the results and progress after 1 year and 1 month:

Researching to be purchased currently:
-ECUTek Tune
-Mocal Thermostatic Sandwhich Plate Conversion
- Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Diffuser
-Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Front Splitter
-Carbon Fiber Front Bumper (Fujimura, Tommy Kaira, Varis)
-KW v3 Coilovers (possibly looking into a magnetic or active suspension)
-Cusco Type MZ 2 Way Limited Slip Differential
-White Line Sway Bars
-Custom Roll Cage
-Brembo GT Big Brake Kit System w/ Titanium Rotors
-RJM v3.1 Foot Pedal Assembly
-RJM Master Slave Cylinder


Just a couple updates that I will be researching and looking into in general over the next few months. Looking at getting the aerodynamic structuring solid. That way my Z sticks to the ground.

If there is something better I could be looking at in terms of product for part feedback is appreciated! :tiphat:

It would have yeahh haha :rolleyes: But paying rent and being able to have a place another month was great too haha. Was tight on money at the time

I've been looking at doing one of the cheaper ones from Carbon Element, but I realized that if I was going to pay most of it why not go with the same type of one that I had. But since I don't park my Z in a garage and I use it as a DD, the steering wheel would wear out quickly for that kind of money lol. :icon14:

I'm looking at getting things aerodynamically set with the Z now. Canards, splitter, diffuser, probably end up with some sort of GT wing.

Do you know if there is any sort of magnetic or active suspension systems for the 370z?

Purchased - Not Installed (taking it over to shop soon to get parts installed)
-Powerhouse Amuse R1 Titan Titanium Shift Knob
-Top Secret Carbon Fiber B Pillars

**UPDATE**

As of right now I have an order in for the R1 Titan shift knob as well as the Top Secret Carbon Fiber B Pillars. Both have been ordered from Bulletproof Automotive and cannot wait until they are in my hands! Will be doing some more research on the Mocal Thermostatic Conversion plate, to eliminate any issues with the Mishimoto Thermostatic Plate.
