Err no, each was incredibly awesome in totally different ways. That wrap was something totally unique that probably got just as many looks as the current setup.

Both are beautiful!

Good so my bday gift is finally done, send her over and i'll send mine so you can start modding it.

chuckd05 07-08-2011 12:06 AM

Doc , Looks Fantastic... Do you have any shots in the same spot with the OEM red color.. it seems a bit lighter in shade I think? The whole car looks fn phenomanal though...

Any F/I plans?


And also , I love how your tail lights are done, If I could trust some body to do them just as yours are and not to dark I would get them tinted.. but I DONT want them too dark yours are perfect... I am going to send you a PM about them....

KaienZ34 07-08-2011 08:00 AM

Here's mine, not to dark at all.

I agree I loved the wrap touch, was planning to keep it till atleast end of year but it was unfortunate because of damage that it has to go. Talking about head turn then Wrap gave a look of something very mean looking car.

You going for it right?

Thanks man, unfortunately I dont have shots in the same place.

For the lights I got it done with a mixture of black paint and clear coat mixed together and then sprayed two coats, after that wet sanding and polish. The result will be lighter this way as some people apply black first then clear coat it tends to give darker result.

For FI there are plans but I am thinking of ditching it and do a project S30 with SR20DET engine swap :tup:

My cousin has one fully built sitting on an engine stand right now. He had it done then got deployed for a few years. When he got back he never got the car to put it in. Just the built motor single big azz turbo and custom intake. I'll see if i can get some pics and parts info on it.

docaam 07-14-2011 03:15 PM

Interior pictures, was busy travelling so couldnt post earlier.

I got the seats done in Alcantara and black leather, changed the stock stitching pattern and did that with red stitching and red piping.

The whole center console is wrapped in same Alcantara again with red stitching.

Also installed the Red CF interior kit by CarbonSignal, awesome fitment

The parts not done and will be done next month are headunit cover, gear knob with boot and steering wheel. Haven't decided either will do only in alcantara or mix of both alcantara and CF.

I opened the interior myself at home and I have realized that I have lost the hazard switch somewhere :(

ClemsonWill 07-14-2011 03:58 PM

Are you going to buy that red CF steering wheel?

ClemsonWill 07-14-2011 03:58 PM

Interior looks great btw!

not sure Will, was thinking alcantara and maybe a bit of CF, lets see how it goes

ShoFamous 07-29-2011 04:02 PM

Do you still have the red leather for the 1st draft of your seats & panels? I'd be willing to buy it off of you if so!

Mr&Mrs 07-30-2011 07:37 AM

Looks great doc I never gave my interior much more thought after my CF accents, but now this will be a future mod for sure. Thanks for the pics!

ShoFamous 08-06-2011 07:42 PM

Since when do you have a budget? :roflpuke2:

Jk man. Good luck bro. Why not wait till the next gen Z comes out? Might be a lot better.

Red__Zed 08-10-2011 01:17 PM

Wait, you're selling just to get a nismo?

Yeah that doesn't make much sense to me. Why not just go FI with the Z you already have? Is it just because of the 7AT?

I am thinking of keeping just and sell the G and current Z, as bought a project car S30:tup: and will concentrate modding that. My current one is not suitable for my daily drive. Nismo is a better option as I am not that much interested now to do bodykits and other mods, just some wheels and a SC, and on top of that a manual as well.

Just testing water mainly lets see how it goes.

Any idea if I want to sell it in US how much it can fetch?

I just feel like you don't gain much from switching to the Nismo. You could just sell some of your parts to make it driveable again. If you sell, you will be losing a lot of money. What you get for it depends on whether or not you can find the right buyer. It will be harder to find someone who will buy as is. You would probably have a better chance of selling it as is in the UAE. The best bet is usually to part out and sell a stock car to get the most money back.

The next gen Z could have a much better engine and even potentially come FI. If I were you I would just keep it until then. Good luck with whatever you decide to do :tup:

docaam 08-10-2011 01:39 PM

lets see how it goes, parting out is not what Im looking for, I have advertised Tein coilover, sway bars, M370 and sunline roof cap rest im selling with the car.

If I dont get my price then Im keeping it for sure.

Anyways results are out for EMMA arabia competition :)

Amazing PIONEER prizes found its heroes at EMMA Arabia competition in May 2011

Congrats on 2nd Place :tup:

How much are you selling it for?

ClemsonWill 08-10-2011 01:44 PM

I wish I could buy it. Definitely one of the nicest Zs on the forum. You should really consider keeping it. How does the used car market look at performance mods in Dubai? Like Blades said, you will lose your arse if you sell it as is in the US. Used car market is not mod friendly.
