Spagz from Sydney Nismo 370z
 

Hi Guys,

Have been a member for ages.

So my lease was up on my old 370z which was a 2010 grey.

It had a few mods nothing crazy

Well i ended up at the dealer traded in the old with new and ordered all the nismo parts I needed. It is amazing how much difference between the year models. We dont get the Nismo models in Australia after following the posts im doing the conversion aswell.

A pic of my old silvia for good measure

Fuckkkkkk, $2000 PER WHEEL?!?!?! Don't buy them!!!

Also, are you sure you want the trim pieces that go around the wheel wells?

that was the first quote. The wheels came down to about 3.8k for all four after they checked them with Japan. First time anyone has ordered these parts into Australia. I could only go off all the guys on the forum here and do a rough conversion from USD to AUD

Ive ordered the overfenders but I think I wont use them not sure

Alrighty then :tup:

I still think you can get the wheels from the US for less

Man... you could've ordered them from Yahoo Auctions Japan for less than that.

Wow you surely love your Z and Nissan!

some parts arrived today

Still waiting on front bar rear bar and rear tow hook cover

they also let me cancel the wheels.... so now i dont know what wheels to put on lol im trying to keep it oem as possible

^Good

So many wheel options. Way better than the 3.8k OEM wheel they offered you. There's also an Aussie who sells a nice looking Carbon Fiber steering wheel.

How are you going to install these DRLs? I cannot seem to find anyour information on the carbonsignal install. I have an idea how im going to do it but if someone else has already forged the path, I would like to see.

Mountin?
Wiring leds (series or paralell?)
Connector used to plug-n-play?

Me either.

I believe they just need 12v.

There is a spare ignition port in the ipdm i think its called. Going to wire to that and ground somewhere in the car.

I think the easy option is just to wire to the parkers.

Front and rear bar finally arrived.

Straight to the panel shop will be back in a week.

We chose a porsche gunmetal colour for more "pop" on the grey areas.

What do you think about leaving the wheels black or should i spray them a different colour? This is how the car sits now with 20mm spacers

First of all man! Nice build! I like how the Posrche Grey Color looks :tup:

Second... Your Silvia looks amazing :drool: I think I saw it on the jdm style tuning web page... I dont remember hahah!

And finally.... If you dont install the overfenders let me know :tup: I be searching for them for a long time ago... Soo if you made a good price I think I can buy them :p

Good luck on your build man!

Thanks man. Yea i miss the silvia was an awesome car would have been on jdmst for sure. This should be better once the supercharger goes on :driving: Its hard in AUS because 370z not that popular.

I didnt end up buying the overfenders in the end.

Hahaha! great man! :tup:

got the exhaust tips extended today

some more pics

i might change the wheels to gloss black any ideas?

Awesome work man!

Looking great!

Personally I like that graphite or whatever colour it's called. My 16 has it too. Pure black is too dark for rims and makes the tires look always dirty. My general rule is wheels never darker than the rubber.

Maybe I'm just funny that way though :p

What about some 15/16 Nismo wheels off eBay or something. I'm sure you can find them a ton cheaper than the dealer quoted you. Saw a PW 15 Nismo yesterday with them and it looked hot! Might try to find a set myself.

Edit: Z1 sells the set of 4 for $1750usd, shipping to Canada $100 not sure about Oz

yea I see what you mean.

I would love the nismo wheels but our exchange rate is dog sh*t right now :(

I even like the 14 nismo wheels

So is ours unfortunately.
Looking for new metal too and the roughly 30% is killing me :(

Also have Stillen intakes, kenetix HFC and Z1 34 row cooler on the way

Bought my ecutek cable + licence and will have Seb from specialty Z remote tune the car as the tuner skills for the Z are limited in Australia.

Nice work man! the car looks great :tup:

GTR Wheels look great!

:iagree::iagree:

Have not seen to many 370z able to pull this off. You have done well!! :tup:

Thanks everyone :)

Flashing the ecutek today :)

Where did you get those red lugs? Would they work on the OEM Rays?

I got them from a local performance shop. They will not work on the 370z oem wheels. GTR have different nut seating compared to stock wheelios.
