hdskull's Magnetic Black Z

hdskull · 08-23-2011, 02:54 AM

Just purchased some new parts, and it's time to start a my own journal!

Purchased a Magnetic Black Base 6MT Z July of 2010, since then, I've added a few parts to it.

One interesting thing about my car is that it's ran every single set of stock rims, from 18" to Nismo to 40th to sports package Rays.

Interior

Kenwood DDX616 Headunit
Polk DB6501 Component Speakers

Exterior

Sports package rear spoiler
eBay backup camera
LED parking light and license plate lights
Llumar ATC 20 (23% tint side and back), 70% tint on windshield

Suspension/Wheels/Tires

KW V3
SSR Type-F Gold 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +15
Hankook V12s, 255/35/19, 275/35/19

Intake/Exhaust

Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes
Fast Intentions TDX CBE with 18" resonators and CF mufflers

Many thanks to Scott@Relentless Autosports, Lou@Amplified, kevin1985912, ilive2win, and anyone else who's helped me out

I dont know if I like the nismos or the SSRs better! Either way, clean car and good execution

The fitment of the Fast Intentions exhaust is absolutely dead on/perfect. Sits perfectly flush with the rear bumper. I have to thank Scott @ Relentless Autosports for installing my exhaust with such short notice. I brought the car in before my final exam, and Scott dropped me off at school. Once I was done with my exam, he was already done with the exhaust install! Perfect customer service ftw! Thanks Scott!

I power the exhaust brought feels awesome, and the exhaust note is fantastic! There is no drone at cruising speed, and the exhaust is actually really quiet if I am just driving around casually (shifting at 2~3k RPM). The exhaust really opens up when I reach 4500RPM, and screams all the way until red line! Love it!

Wheels getting installed

Here's a fitment picture of SSR Type-F in 19x9.5 +22 offset with 245/40 tires and -1.6 degree of camber.

This past weekend, I finally got to paint my headlights! This is something I've always wanted to do because the headlights stand out to much against the black color of the car. I originally wanted to paint the housing Nissan color code K11 gunmetal, but I was unable to get the paint in time, so I went with another gunmetal color that Kragen/O'Reilly's carried in store. It came out slightly lighter than I would've liked, but it will do for now

Bumper off with the Stillen Gen3's

Headlights open

Housing painted

Clear lens installed

Everything put back together

Cutoff/output before

Cutoff/output after

^The wall is not perfectly flat here, there are parts that are concave, so it might look like there are ridges..

In the process of painting the housing, my friend also installed STi-R clear lens for my projectors. I've always been envious of his ZKW clear lens/TL projector combo, and now I finally have a nice cutoff of my own!

Here are some quick garage pictures

Boost_lee · 09-14-2011, 03:00 AM

Good choice on the housing color. Cutoff is nice!

mr_sk · 09-19-2011, 09:19 PM

You're killing it w/this build! One of my favorite on the site, keep it going.

Headlights look awesome and stance on the SSR is perfect. Nice work man!
Would love to see some video of the car in motion ...
