Nice car, great pics!

replaced my v1 nismo steering wheel with a v2 nismo steering wheel! sooo much better! no idea why Nissan went with the whacky shaped steering wheel initially.

This looks sweet! Is this steering wheel actually round in shape? I am pretty annoyed with the stock, being squished top-bottom.

That's a super handsome Nismo!

my first real mod :) and my first ever big JDM part! Loving the HKS hi-power exhaust!

There are already a bunch of reviews and sound clips for this exhausts so I won't go into too much detail, but this is exactly what I am looking for. Low key, no drone, but much throatier and slightly louder than stock Nismo exhaust. For daily driving, 2.5-4.5k rpm sounds wayyyy better, just a notch louder than stock g35/37. Downshift sounds soooo good as well.

Personally, I like the look of rolled tips more than the titanium tips, but they still look pretty cool. I also wish the tips stick out a little more, but that's really just a Nismo bumper issue.

that looks great! :tup:

Oh shoot. I just noticed you dont have the fake third light in the bumper. Looks much better imo.

Yeah early models don’t have it. Funny you mentioned this because I was just looking to see if there’s a way to add it LOL. Just because most cf diffusers are for ones with the third light. Also maybe doing the f1 blinking brake lights might be cool.

But I think my only option would be to get a bumper with one so it’s ok I’ll keep mine haha

That little enclosure WAS available as an individual piece but has since been discontinued. Non OEM alternative is EVO-R, but you will need to cut a whole on your bumper to allow room the fog light housing.

Slimmer profile rear led fog lights (non 370z specific) are available though.

Thanks for the info! I’ve seen the EVO-R ones but have seen a lot of mixed reviews about the company and its products.

Have not seen other slimmer profile rear fogs though, I’ll look into that and see how I feel. Thanks!

Had my EVOR on for 10 years. No issues, so far.

a little Christmas shoot, nothing new on the car unfortunately. I am looking for a low key exhaust though to boost the sound a bit, so hopefully I post some real mods soon! But for now, enjoy!

Probably the best looking car here. I'm afraid it will make me go for Nismo V1 wheels and spoiler.... :yum:

I think the single walled tips look good on a smaller diameter pipe. If it's larger, then it needs to be rolled. I'm with you on this mod.

Dude, im really digging your car. Nice work :tup:

Thanks guys! It’s pretty good the way it is now. I’m not sure if I’ll do much else to it…

Though the urge to get some v2 NISMO seats and some te37sl’s lingers:rofl2:

You already have the best wheels out there. Seats however.... :tup:

My key came with a Nissan logo, so I bought a used key with a Z logo on eBay and swapped the shell! Also got a retro Nismo logo jet tag from Nissan. They originally only had it at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, but they’re finally selling them online!
