Damn that looks awesome. :tup:

Not bad for 18,000 miles on it from the previous owner huh? That sucker even polished it up for me :tup:

thanks again Steve

nice bro....i do wanna see this thing :)

Thanks man, but I really need to see yours.

I was thinking about planning a 370z meet this Sunday the 10th. You down? I think 2 or 3 others have said yes already.

how much would you charge to do my light, if it's something your willing to do?

Not even sure if I have time...It would be easier if I had a spare set of lights so the only downtime would be the actual swapping. :confused:

i got ya. yeah, i have to use the car daily for work. i may be headed down to SA either today or thursday. if you have any time i would love to hear your exhaust, i havent heard one in person so i dont know if it's to loud for me or not. i may just go with a nismo cbe and high flow cats cause i know thats not loud but gives a little extra rumble.

Trust me, its not too loud at all

I work until 10pm, but shoot me a pm if u want to meet up. I'll see what I can do

Cool, ill hit u up in a bit

looks good! how mild were your oringal plans? looks like you keep ordering more and more stuff

love the look of your car!

i wanna see the lip on your car!

:icon18: I know! After I get the sideskirts, I'll do a H&R spring drop, then wheels should finish off the exterior. I doubt that I'll be venturing down the power-adder path.

Thanks, same here! Once EVO-R gets the sideskirts made, I'll install the front lip at the same time

letting someone drive your z? you're nuts! :eek:




Beautiful car, tastefully modded

We did the install at his work for free, so I did owe him haha

thanks man

Swift springs have been ordered and should be on the way soon

Swift springs - ETA tomorrow
EVO-R side blades in FRP - paid

Might throw a coat of black bumper paint on both, just in case.

Hopefully this car will be looking fresh by November 1st!

Wheels wont be touched until 2011.

nice what wheels u want my friend?

I haven't made up my mind yet, though I'm leaning towards 20" with a step lip. Either venaci mesh, spirits, work t1s', or ssr sp3s.

Dont get a step lip if you ever want to throw a BBK on your car.

and why is that? Its already been done.

oh my god blue Z's are hot Jealous Lol =)

thanks asmmugen

JB - Thanks, but I probably wont be looking into a BBK since I'm not venturing into the power adders either. Stock Sport brakes are really enough for me and my purposes :D

EVO-R FRP sides are here. I might throw a coat of bumper paint on the sides and front lip.

If the spring install goes well on Sunday I'll throw those on also.

Could you please let me know where you bought the kit, and how much installation cost? Did you install yourself? If so, was it difficult?

Thanks in advance!

Forgive me! Just saw your DIY, never mind....

Glad it came in handy :)

10/30

Installed Swift Spec-R drop springs (1.25 F, 1.0 R)

Normal driving is as smooth as stock, but sudden dips and potholes are much softer. The ride is very enjoyable. Once you start to drive a little more aggressive, the springs feel very tight and there is far less body than before. Car feels great! I love these springs so far

:tup:

Thanks G

Nice! Did you do it yourself?

looks mad clean!

how do you like the evo r side blades and is it pre drilled to fit the oem's side skirts holes?

Tj - yes, the install was done at home with a friend. Though due to the lack of a good impact gun, we took the front shock assembly to his work to put on the swift springs. We swapped them at home, but didn't line up the tophats correctly, so we decided to just take them to his work and use their spring compressor to speed up the process. The lip and sides were both installed by myself in about 1.5 hrs.

Thanks Andrew

Crazy - I love the evor sides, well worth the wait. They add a great flare without giving up more than 1/2 inch of ground clearance. They are contoured perfectly to the car and the length is near spot on. I would suggest having a helping hand to just hold the skirts while you drill them in. There are 5 mounting holes along the blades, and they do not use stock mounting tabs. EvoR includes self tapping screws for an easy job; probably 30 minutes for both.

Looks good! You need to do a photoshoot with the quality of your pictures you take :)

Ha, thanks man. I really need to nail a good shoot on this car. I want to see if the springs will settle any more this week, if so, then I'll try a shoot on Thursday or Friday night.

I don't think ill be touching this car for the remainder of the year, I went a bit overboard these last few weeks lol. Next year will be audio and wheels, maybe some motordyne parts :) I am very content with the car as it sits though.

Looks good, dude. :tup:

Thanks Steve :D

your doing all the right things with this car. its coming out nice bro

Thanks Joe...still sad to see yours on the market

Still haven't had a chance to get a photoshoot going. Maybe next weekend.

This is how to car sits with the Swifts now

its amazing...:tup: i think the one thing that really sets it apart from others,is that you have a 'blue,black,and silver' theme going on! seems a large majority of the blue z's are blacked out...unless thats whats coming next? haha either way it looks amazing,im a huge fan of the headlights also!
