he can do it whatever color you want, and even lazer etch a jeffblue TT on the plate LOL

Ok, maybe its just because of the lighting, but the one on the left seems like it's an aftermarket one similar to our lights... whereas the one on the right looks like a stock lens. Any other angles to counteract the lighting on this? Forgive me if I'm wrong, just looked odd... :icon17:

These are old pictures, but the headlights were never replaced. and they definitely match.:p

The 370 is my DD for about the next year... Unless I go with the 300 but I am thinking I may wait it out a bit longer.

Those photos are WIN!

One more thing... Your avatar is hilarious

LoL Fair enough. :tup: :bowdown:

Thanks man. Well if money isn't an issue, mod the 370z and by a daily driver, or daily drive the 370z and buy a 300zx and mod it. you def want to have a semi unmodified car to DD, otherwise you'll eventually get sick of the modded one and want to sell it, which seems to be what happens a lot. You get bored of the power b/c you drive it every day, and you get sick of the impracticality because you drive it every day.

:tup: i definitely would have noticed if the headlights didn't match :p

man I feel so bad, I hardly drive my Z32TT since I got my Z34. So last week I drive the Z32 the whole week like 10 days straight! LOL

Wow, nice to see you making great progress! My dad finally got rid of an intermittent injector issue. He tapped it a few times and it started working, and the engine has been running smooth for a week!

Are you going to make use of the front license plate mounting location? Since it's not required here, my dad went ahead and had the body shop eliminate it. See what you think:

haha thats awesome, how was that? :driving:

Thanks :tup: funny that you mention that. I 100% plan on shaving that front lisence plate bracket. I live in NY so i will probaly get one of those retractable plates (since we need to run a front plate) . I can't rationalize having a fresh bumper that needs to be painted and NOT shaving that thing off. It just looks so weird. Just trying to make sure that the retractible lisence plate (those show n go things, i think some people on here have them) will fit.

That car looks gorgeous. Is that black or some custom color? What kind of work does he have done to it? I really appreciate the close up pics, they are actually kind of hard to find.

Hopefully those pictures will give you a good idea of the bracket removal. The car is a '90 purchased used about 10 years ago, and the clear coat was milky in some spots. He had a friend repaint the entire car, but he did not use enough metallic flakes. For the bumper, he had a more reputable shop perform the work, and the paint had a bit more metal flakes so it shows up lighter compared to rest of the body panels. As for engine work, the engine was replaced twice sourced from Nippon Motor. It only has a JWT ECU program, boost jets, and single pop charger.

Not quite perfect to our standards, but that's his baby... if it was my car, it would end up looking like yours, but with more LED work lol :)

haha still sounds like a fun car. I'll probably do some LED work inside. right now i just wanna take the tops off and :driving:

Looking good man

:tup: and :yum:

Oh almost forgot... not sure if I told you, but I handmade custom turn signal bulbs for my dad's car. The front bulbs are pretty old, but it still works very well. It uses 4 high power LEDs: 3 amber and 1 white. So as a dual filament bulb, the white LED is the parking light, and the amber is the turn signal. He has the new style tail lights, so I used a more modern triple Luxeon Rebel for each turn signal. It lights up nicely, but needs a solid state flasher module.

I really want to do something with his fog lights, but he doesn't need it anymore after installing the HID kit.

Just something to think about :)

That sounds pretty sweet. i may be interested in that actually. My first lighting concern is actually my headlights. I know i can go get HID,s but they are still kind of meh as far as lighting is concerned, and supposedly they interfere with the Selin Dual MAF translator. I'd love to have something as bright as the 370z headlights, and i can order the 1999 Jspec xenon headlights... if i want to spend 1700 dollars. Do you have any ideas/something you could potentially rig up?

I can't really help you with the HID part other than getting a good quality kit. The cheap ones tend to flicker. If it works well enough, you might be able to ditch the fog lights. If you decide to keep them, but want to use it for show, then a couple of high power LEDs will look very nice with it at night.

The simplest mod is your signal and parking light. The front signals are 1157 (dual filament) so you can set it up so the parking light is white and signal is amber. The parking bulbs are 194, so it can be easily swapped for an LED type. The rear turn signals are 1156. I actually make my own bulbs, so they plug right in. Also note with the LED bulbs you'll get the hyperblink, but there are work arounds for that.

that is pretty cool, yea i saw his stuff there.


Whenever you have some pics of the setup, send them my way.

well, 5 months after buying the car, its back on the road... getting miles on it.... looking ghetto fabulous with the unpainted front bumper :p

http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1313339375

^ why didn't you just get the bumper painted and install it yourself? Would of saved lots of $ and time...

I'm getting it painted after i bring the car back up to NY. It didn't cost me anything extra to have this bumper put on. My original bumper was torn by the shipper and was hanging down. The bumber had to come off anyway to do the intercoolers and intake and stuff (Well not really, but when doing a full build like this its a lot easier to take the bumper off to get to stuff) So yea, it was either take the original torn bumper off and put it back on, or put this one on. Same cost. I've got a new hatch up here so i'm going to get both painted at once rather than having 2 separate shops do it... so i should save some money there.

Glad to see its finally back on the road Jeff, best of luck with the car. Let me know when you plan on bringing it out to some meets.

She's back!

Nice find and build. You are making me want to do one myself. Gotta resist the temptation...........

But really.......good job man.

i'll hopefully have it at next wednesdays meet if i can get it painted in time, but i'll be bringing it around as much as i can :tup:

Thanks :D

Car was dynotuned today. The motor only has 400 miles so it should pick up about 10-15hp after another thousand miles or so. Ambient temps were about 98*F, 93 octane tune. 0% correction factor on these charts.

I'm going to pick the car up tomorrow... or i guess today (friday) and drive it back to NY. Hopefully i'll beat the hurricane home to NY :driving:

GODSPEED, JEFFBLUE! Go and beat down that hurricane!

Jeffblue vs hurricane vs 5.0

HAHA i have the same wheels on my 91TT and i love how they look on the black...looks like the only diference is mine has factory spoiler and its auto with shift kit syncros and valve work. Nice Z man take care of her...

O and believe be that engine is stout my buddys has been running 595WHP for over 40,000 miles 26lbs of boost on all stock internals

the storm beat us home, so we had nothing but sunny skies and dry roads.

we stopped for a day to drive the cherohalla skyway and the surrounding area, stopped at z1 for some parts. the last day of the trip was fun to say the least.

we saw pretty much every corvette ever made going the opposite way of us so no real races on the way home.

I'm confused...did you go with Jeff or is this Jeff using another account? Hahaha

Waves hand
/This is not the Jeff you are looking for.

wow i feel replaced, jeff cheated on me

JUST SO YOU KNOW...

I was Jeff's original choice. ;) :p :roflpuke2::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

Glad you guys had a good trip. The Skyway is awesome. :tup:

Just so you know, I was Steve's original replacement
