Here is the thread photoshoot thread:

Nice stance. Damn you got some beefy tires.

thanks:) i kinda like them like that

Looking forward for what next.

an oil cooler, then i hope to have some fun and do an HPDE class and start doing some auto x. maybe a shift knob or something. small i might do some breather mods if i come across something used that someone wants to part out. Not b/c i'm cheap, i just would rather not spend too much on performance mods, then once i get to that point where i'm no longer satisfied with the car, i can decide whether i want to go FI or just sell it.

so yea, next mod=oil cooler. after that its just pure enjoyment and :driving: until it doesn't do it for me anymore. right now i'm loving hte coilovers though. i really like the firmer ride and less roll in corners.

Sounds cool Jeff. Next time I have an overnight out your way, I'd like to come see it.

Sounds good send me a PM a few days before hand:tup:

Well, that could be a problem, cause I usually never know when I'm flying out until the day before. We can just play it by ear, and if it works out, cool. If not, well then, you're just a douche. :tup: Sorry, couldn't resist!!

hahaha can't argue with that logic. :bowrofl: A day before is fine.

I want to get one to but kind of don't see the reason to. Tracked it a couple times and went on canyons runs never went above 24. But I'm sure the oil cooler will pay off. I do need one but just been avoiding it. What type are you leaning towards?

looks nice man! how you liking the suspension? i have a slight bounce after i go over bumps in the freeway and such, nothing bad but trying to eliminate it. you got yours set at 20 right? might have to try that as i am on 17 and 20. Looks good though! nice rolling shots!

lemme kno when your ready for that oil cooler jeff ;) got a price for you.

also check the thread for the vid and pics... http://www.the370z.com/north-east-re...rformance.html

thanks yea i'm at 20 all around. i'm really liking the difference! yea mine are 20 all around.

not really sure yet. i have to do some more research. i haven't had any heat issues yet, but when it was very hot out i would not go to hard on the car.

Thanks Alex, i'm gonna move forward with that in spring/summer. i should be good for the winter as far as oil temps :) but could you PM me the price and the install price as well as the specs of the actual unit you are going to install?

So i had some Dunlop Wintersport M3's mounted on some stock 18's last month, and i must say, even lowered, the car drives like a champ in snow. i wouldn't go take it out in the middle of a blizzard, but it does great in any snow covered road/snowy slush aftermath.

we got a foot or so of snow last night here on Long Island and here is my car at work, nice and filthy!:tup:

Lame. :p

^Spam.... reported



:p

don't stop dancing girl

lol car looks unhappy between all the snow

i think its happier then being tucked away for 3 months like some other NY guys do. its just sad b/c it has boring wheels on.

Dont say boring wheels too loud lol, the stock guys might get a little emotional from that comment.

hahah hey, i like them but they are definitely not anything to go crazy about.

Wipes tears from my eyes. :shakes head:

those wheels look better in person for some reason.

haha, is that a reference to what i think it is?

No no lol, I mean I saw them in person and I see them now in pictures and although they look awesome in pictures, they look even better in person!

ohahah i thought you meant like, you saw the forged specialties in person and now seeing my car with the 18's you were like 'ohh the wheels looked better in person'
:p

haha, I'm not that clever and you wouldve been the only one who got the joke. Good one though lol

haha yea i read into things to much sometimes:icon17:

So i finally got some good driving shoes by the advice of steve (m4a1mustang)
http://www.the370z.com/attachments/p...2011-puma1.jpg

i really like the shoes (its really nice to actually be able to feel the pedals) but that brought me to an issue. i tried to heel-toe in them, and because the sole is a bit narrower (i wear a size 10) i can't heel toe in them. I found that out the hard way as i went to blip the throttle while braking and shifting from 3rd to 2nd and i totally missed the accelerator. This problem left me with 3 solutions.

1. Turn on SRM (free)
2. Return the shoes (-$75)
3. Buy new pedals (~150)

Of course, i had to opt for the third option.

I just placed an order for some SRP Pedals SRP Nissan 370Z Racing Pedals
http://www.srpracing.com/prod_images..._grid_BU21.JPG
I order a set with the GRID pattern (which has the best grip) in Black/Silver Anodized.

http://www.srpracing.com/prod_images...DC376DF8%2Ejpg

The total came to 174 plus 6 for shipping. that additonal porton on the left side of the accelerator will be exactly what i need to be able to heel toe in these driving shoes.

Next up is a short throw shifter. These two mods will help to make the tactile sensation of driving the z even more fun than it is now (for me at least)

Toxik Got a new berk exhaust installed yesterday, so i bought his Nismo exhaust with an xpipe for a good deal. I love the tips, and the sound is nice. Its deeper at lower rpm, and still quiet enough for a DD. I'm happy with the look and the sound. I'm sure most people want something louder, but this suits me and what i wanted. Here are some before and after cold starts (each shot first thing in the morning on separate days)

Nismo Exhaust with X-Pipe

Nice Jeff. :driving:

Exhaust sounds good.
