cool, you have about $16,000 worth of mods planned already. You should maybe consider some coilovers too!
|
That powerhouse amuse titanium rear strut and the zele front strut will probably make $5,000 of that $16,000...
Better get that volks order in fast, supposedly prices skyrocket in a few days! |

Really, is there a reason? Also, long list, but looking forward to seeing your car evolve. |
Quote:
And from the looks of this list...it won't matter too much lol This car makes me :excited: |
Thanks guys! I think I am done spending money this year already tho haha. But the car should look totally different from what it did last summer!
|
Yeah Reaper, did you know those bars cost that much? That strut bar is like 2400 shipped alone.

I want to spare no expense with my Z. My goal is to turn my Z into what it could have been if nissan had built it as a supercar from the ground up like the GTR. So yea I know that strut is thousands of dollars, so yes that will be one of the last things I buy for the car haha
|
I can't help but notice that there aren't any AAM products on your list...haha.
Seriously, though, that's a nice list you have set up. When the day comes that you decide what F/I route you want to go with, let me know. We have a sweet TT kit in the works that's good for around 500WHP. |
Ive heard some good things about AAM! I will def let you know when FI is on the horizon.
UPDATE: CF engine bay dress up from Password: JDM was at my door today. Lemme tell you these are wonderful pieces of dry CF!!! I really wish Password: JDM will take the time to develop more products for the 370 just like they have for the GTR! If your looking for a great mod, def get these. In addition to the stillen gen 3 intakes, my engine bay looks amazing! |

Recieved Z34 bride japan seat rails today from Mike B.!
Product in good condition, shipped well (and free :tup: ) And Mike was helpful in answering any questions and shipping fast! So if anyone every wants to buy some of his old parts, including his Bride japan fixed seats I believe he still has for sale, then be sure to do buisness with him! NOW can anyone help me out? Im looking to get the bride cuga seats, but really want the japan edition cause of the entire seat being buckskin material. I have searched everywhere but no one has them. Anybody? |
You might try sending some emails to companies like Fored, 370ztune, Amplified, etc. as they have contacts there and might be able to help you out.

Exhaust is being shipped over from Tony at fast intentions. Scheduled delivery date is Thursday!! :D

Hey so I FINALLY got my seat in today, after placing my order 5 weeks ago, with a promise that it would take no more than 2 weeks, but I gotta say I am impressed. Seat was packaged nicely, with no damage to the seat at all. Also ordered the seat with a 5 point harness which is of amazing quality. Also the carbon fiber weave on the seat itself is incredible, and is protected by 7 layers of clear coat, not one defect in this cf.
Although the customer service over at Status is shitty as hell (theres only like two people that work there, and they rarely answer the phone to answer questions and take a week in order to return phone calls) I have to say I am happy with the seat now that it is finally here. I ordered the Ring GT, which the GT is the version that is wider. Guy over at Status says its for 36+ waist size, I'm a 38" and I have to say I am uncomfortable seatin in this. Good thing I am awesome at loosing weight so give it a month and ill be down to a 34 and this seat should be perfect for me. (Just a heads up for any bigger guys out there thinking of getting BRIDE, those seats are smaller than even the regular status ring seats and I'm havin trouble gettin into this big one) BTW I am 5'11'' and 215 lbs as of now. The leather is very high grade and matches really well with the leather on the dash and around the radio/shifter. Also if you get it with white stiching it matches the cubby hole and side bolsters perfectly! My exact order for the seat (since the awesome thing about Status is you can customize EVERY aspect of the seat and they dont charge extra for customization) Model: Ring GT white stiching white logo Black leather with black alcantara incerts Here are a bunch of pics! Enjoy!

How is fitment of the hood, looks good?
You going to keep it unpainted? |
Quote:
I will be painting it but leaving the vents exposed with carbon fiber, and then applying a UV protectant clear coat. |
That Status seat looks amazing, I really like how it almost looks like a racing version of the Touring seats with the suede/leather/white stitching combo. Your car is going to be CF porn!

Installation- and Operating Instructions
Looks like some very detailed info, click the 'Lap-, Shoulder- and Anti-sub strap routing' link and it talks about horizontal or no more than 20 degrees, plus other information. |
So it has been a while since I have updated anything, I have been waiting to get my car to a certain milestone of being complete, and then acquire some actual professional photos.
So here it is, GRIM 2011, much more to come in 2012! Added: Custom painted Seibon cf TS style hood Custom painted CF Powerhouse Amuse Vestido rear bumper EvoR custom LED smoked rear fog light with F1 blinker Toyo Proxes R888 F: 265/35 R: 285/30 P.S. the aftermarket rims in some of the photos are not mine, they were put on my car to do some advertisement for an aftermarket rim company. Volk G12's will be coming on the car this winter..

Reaper, car is looking great.
How are the seats holding up over time, still enjoying them? |
Yes, I'm still loving the seat! Although I think I am going to swap out for touring seats for the time being. This car is turning more into a show car than a race car as I had originally anticipated for it. Looking to pick up an Evo IX for track racing.
