Project Pearl Necklace - toxik's journal
 

Hai guise! This thread will outline the progress of my car... I decided to go with the project name of Pearl Necklace, due to the color code of the car (White Pearl) and a few other reasons.

I bought the car on May 01, 2010. After 1 year, I decided to take the car in a whole new direction, hence the start of this project. My original journal thread can be found here (http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...y-pw-370z.html). I will outline some of those mods that are still in my car in this thread as well.

June 2010

Bought a custom made X-pipe for the Nismo CBE. This replaces the OEM H-pipe on the nismo exhaust. The new x-pipe has 2.5'' piping instead of 2.0''. I'll take a video of it and post it here soon.

looks good so far, like the wheels/brakes!

:wtf2:

how was the evo-r fitment. im considering getting same one only in CF

far from perfect, but you can make it work if you take your time with it.

Very nice! :tup:

<3 u toxik.

The oem nismo exhaust fits on normal Z's?

it's the same car, why wouldn't it fit.... but ye it fits fine.

can you explain a little? Pm if you would rather

You just need to put the right tape (VHB 3M) in the right spots and have someone help u apply pressure to both sides of the diffuser equally. My biggest issue was the right side tape didn't hold as well as the left side due to me installing it myself. It just creates a small gap, but thats all.

Best project title ever?

I guess since caravan got rid of his Z and project name :icon17:

I know, I feel so unloved now. :(
