So taking car out of storage today :happydance:

I ended up getting most of the things I wanted over the winter as mentioned before, except the front lip and ART Pipes, but waiting for this member to part out his pipes, I got dibs!

I'll be installing a lot of things tonight and tomorrow oil change and spacers get done. So hopefully lots of new pics this week and then a meet this sunday!

So I got Z1 Spacers, went 20mm stud replacement up front, 25mm in back. can't wait to be flush

I jumped on the Royal Purple bandwagon and bought some HPS oil and filter, will see how that goes

Also can's wait to install the rear spats, often felt te rear looks a little high in back, this will help a lot.

Nice! Those wheel spacers look well made. Post pics when you get that stuff installed!

I brought my Z out last week. I need to take it in for an oil change. I would do it myself but I got free oil changes for one year with the purchase of the Z. May as well take advantage of it.

Thanks GaleForce, I saw some flurries this morning, I was like WTF! lol.

Will do for sure. I know a lot of people wanted to see what those engine bolts look like too

Free oil changes, ya definitely take advantage of that. My condo building won't let me change oil in the garage lol...no "mechanics" lol

Oh and headlights are done, can't wait to put these in tonight. Easily the lowest costing mod with the most impact in looks I think

- Krylon Satin Black Housing
- OEM KAV for the Projector and turn signal Shroud

Did you do the lights yourself? What's OEM KAV? Is that the paint code for your car? The lights look awesome!

Yup, did them myself. I baked one set open, I used a hairdryer on the other, so both work well to open them up (hair dryer less scary lol)

ya, KAV is the paint code for the Quartz paint, got an aerosol can from automotivetouchup.com

and thanks! :tiphat:

I have them on now :) Just heading to a shop here for a bit of work and hopefully have more pics tonight

GaleForce 03-15-2012 11:09 AM

Sweet! Can't wait for the pics!

I'm going to wait to get my aero bits on before I decide to paint my lights... I really like the look though...

So we had our first Spring meet on Sunday, was a beautiful day

I wouldn't call it a photoshoot but we have a bunch of guys in the club who are camera crazy, we'll have a new video soon but I finally have some cool shots of my car

So trying to figure out the next mod, I am still waiting on this guy to part out his ART pipes...but untill then, was still looking for something not to pricey that will help round out the looks

- Carbon Fiber B Pillars
or
- OEM Black Pearl Nismo emblems (Front/Back)

Both could be had from the Z store for under $150. I know I could plasti dip my emblems but at the end of the day, nothing can beat the nicely painted OEM black burgers

I still have my CF Evo R side blades to install and I'm leaning towards the B Pillars to round out the Carbon Fiber

speedfreek 03-26-2012 07:53 AM

If you want to keep the burgers I say plasti-dip your silver ones. Otherwise if I were to get new emblems I would go with the Z emblem front/back. For the same price as the black pearl emblems.

So with that I would go with plasti-dipping the stock emblems and getting the CF B Pillars to go with all your other CF components.
