Really wish that sign wasn't there. Amazing artwork!

awe wow, that bites! That is one beautiful job and a gorgeous Z! This is a great pic and to me there is no other car ever made that has an a$$ like a 370Z! Takes my breath away daily!

WELL FAM! It's been a long, long time...since my last post. Moved to San Diego due to work. Going on shore duty life now (Boiii). Looking forward to it(Though not a fan of California itself). Good food, beer, and of course, all the 370z parts are easy access here in southern cali.

The car went into storage/transit and I was able to get her back, no extra damages.

After waiting forever, I finally got my CraftSquare mirrors. Install was pretty easy! Just wish they supplied mounting equipment or use the same bolt size as OEM for install.

Being so close to Temecula, I ordered the Status seats for the car. Heard good reviews for them and wanted to save a little money, plus I wanted to be different. Not many people rock the seats, you usually see Sparco,Bride,Braum. Love how the feel and can sit comfortably in them. Drove four hours round trip no problem


WHAT'S IN THE BOX



Took apart the passenger seat and was able to install the air-bag sensor.

Planted Technology mounting brackets! They fit PERFECT to the car, but not so much with the seats. Only able to really line up three bolts. Installed with lock-threads.
Low quality picture. Parking garage is where I installed them at my new place.

Well! More upgrades along the way here shortly. I got in contact with Charles Park out here in San Diego at PowerTrix. A buddy of mine recommended their coilovers for the car. He's driven multiple setups and these by far are the best he's ever used. So I went with purchasing the UltraLite set with 13k/11k swift spring setup.


I've been wanting to upgrade the wheels and tires so finally got my boxes in. 19x9.5/10.5 Work CR Kiwami with Hankook 255/285 35R19 setup.

This last weekend, I got the setup for the car down. Drove over to PowerTrix and got to work with Charles Park. The guy's knowledge base is awesome. His work is very methodical and has a purpose. He helped show me how the installation goes and explained how/why the components work. Overall a great learning experience! If you are in San Diego area and get the chance to meet him, really good guy and helpful.




The car looks amazing now! Definitely love the setup!


After the install I did a quick test drive and noticed the difference on how the car handled. Took some hard U-Turns on the street outside and was very impressed by the response. Just driving has completely changed. I highly recommend this setup. For those interested PowerTrix Ultra-Lite coilovers with 13k/11k Swift Springs.

This weekend we had a group meet up with the VQ-Inc club of Cali. One of the members had a friend wanting to practice his photo skills in the rain, so we took advantage of the weather and had some fun. Love the photos! Shoutout to Marc @2istmedia on Instagram. Hope yall enjoy!

Well, it's been some time. I haven't posted in a while due to events in life and felt it was time. Lets just say, March wasn't a fun month. I wanted to get work done on the car, but didn't want my car to be in an accident for it =_=; I got faulted though I say it was 50/50 since person speeding to get through middle lane to turn left, but Cali says it's the other drivers lane even though she pulls into that lane way before the actual entrance.
Front bumper got knocked 20ft from car into the road and other driver smacked my tire as I was merging into lane from stand-still. Damaged my steering.



So I after insurance did their thing and came back with estimates I was able to get the car worked on. Alignment and steering was taken care of and I was able to get the car driving (no bumper though.) Was recommended Llyod's Autobody in Santee. I paid out of pocket for some extra work. Did not expect the love I got. No more band-aid on rear panel, dent looks like it was never even there. Front bumper is completely redone with no paint peel or chipped cracks. The damage to FRP isn't noticeable, you have to be directly on it to see the thin crack from under the paint. Really restored the car to perfection.

As for future plans. Looking at going the turbo route hopefully before the year closes. Currently working on getting the fuel upgrades first (CJM Twin pump and return system, 1050CC injectors.) I would love to have the Fast Intentions kit, but after talking to my buddy in the club who's rocking it, price tag is too heavy for the moment. (This is parts, labor, tunes, extras.) Yea, that 850hp would be glorious, but I might have to settle on something else. Looking at the Boosted Performance twin setup currently. I think it would be good for the club since we will have all levels of turbos (F.I, AAM, and BP). Lets aspiring guys see what options there are and get different opinions.
Well fam, off for a drive. ♥

=== HOLY NECROMANCER ===

It has been a long time since I've posted here. Shamelessly and embarrassing posting now T^T .

Got some catching up to do so lets start off with highlights.

Clown world started to die off some and I was able to participate in SPOCOM San Diego. I wasn't ready to show off the Z but wanted to take a chance to participate with the club. Got lots of attention as Zs in southern California aren't always maintained well. Only three of us entered that year and my buddy placed 3rd for his G35 under the Nissan/Infinity catagory.
