Thanks for letting me ride shotgun, even though it was only around the block. Seriously quick car. Those videos don't do it justice.

My Z felt so slow after hopping out of yours. At least my Z still gets the head turn :icon17: lol, Did you notice the people pointing at the 370 as we were leaving. Now go finish painting your bumper so people don't "think" its slower :roflpuke2:

hahah my pleasure. yea the ikea parking lot isn't exactly the best place to do WOT pulls. at least no one called the cops:p Yea 370z is definitely a head turner. Right now my car is head turner but its more like 'wtf is that yellow bumper on that car? ewww' its getting painted tuesday though :tup:

i tried to do a nice loud pull after i made the u turn, not sure if you heard it :driving:

stopped by the body shop yesterday to see the progress. Car should be ready tomorrow or tuesday. They are just finishing detailing it etc.

no more yellow bumper, replaced hatch (which was dented) with a wingless hatch an got a new Drivers side fender.

i kind of like the wingless hatch for now but i probably see myself putting another '94 wing back on in the spring.

wow. Looks good Jeff :tup:

I kind of like it without the wing also.

m4a1mustang 10-23-2011 09:37 PM

Looks good, Jeff. Very clean without the wing! I like it. And the Enkeis are nice. Meaty tires FTW. Hellafunctional. :tup:

Mike 10-24-2011 08:29 AM

looks very clean!

thanks guys. yea i'll probably stick without the wing for while. i like it for now. the 17's are nice, that extra sidewall really helps with grip.

Jeffblue 10-27-2011 09:40 AM

Well, i just got the car back from the body shop and i'm happy with the result. Its nice not having the car look like i picked it up at a junkyard anymore :p

I put the Nissan/TwinTurbo badges on when i got home. I figure if i have one of the few cars in the world that i'm not a ricer for putting a 'Twin Turbo' badge on, so i might as well, right?

It was pretty funny... at a meet someone inquired as to how i had managed to have no rock chips on my front bumper. Expecting to hear that i had some magical invisible chip protection that was less noticeable that clear-bra, i think he was disappointed when i told him that i had just had the bumper repainted.

Only thing left to in the immediate future is to change the springs from Tein to Eibach (Which will raise the car up a bit), allowing me to remove one of the camber shims up front which will cure my rubbing and allow me to run my 275's up front with no issues.

m4a1mustang 10-27-2011 09:41 AM

Nice. Love the wheels/tires. Got some meat on them riyums. Very racey.

Always wanted one of those. Sweet.

Jeffblue 12-31-2011 01:57 PM

Had the car dyno'd again just to make sure everything was good after a few thousand miles.

well what i actually will be running is Enkei RPF01 17x9.5+38mm all around with nitto nt-05 275/40/17 in back and 255/40/17 up front. -1.6 deg camber in the back and -2 degrees up front will be the setup. those aren't on the car right now though, they'll be back on in spring.

i just have ADR M sports on the car right now, and some random tires. they don't grip that well. but with the enkeis it grips pretty well.

Looks nice & clean now! Sounds fast! Is it a 5pd manual?

thank you. here is where i took the pictures:

If you google maps "360 main street, port washington, NY" you'll see there is a big dock right on the water right there, thats where i took the pics. Its a nice spot and its a nice drive to get there ( depending on which way you take :P)
