2009 Z totaled, 2012 Z here

RoadZter · 12-22-2011, 03:52 PM

Man.. I'm having flashbacks of my first Z. I had a 280zx turbo back in the day and same thing happened to me. It was totaled. An RX7 hydroplaned and I went flying into a median. It has been almost 20 years since I had a Z. Too long. Between kids, work and everything else it seemed that I would never get another one. I can't tell everyone enough how many times I've logged on to this site and dreamt of one day calling myself a Z owner again. You are blessed dude that you were able to replace it right away. I'm glad no one was hurt. As for me.......I finally got my dream car, again. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Peace and blessings!!

Welcome back to the Z family! Yours is looking very nice. Until something better than a Z becomes affordable, I don't see myself owning anything else.

I bought these LEDs: CREE|C503C-WAS-CBADA151|LED, 5MM, COOL WHITE, 24000MCD | Newark.com

For the strip I used this DIY: DIY: Headlight LED's and blackout

For the halo I had my dad help me wire it up. Don't ask me how we did it - I couldn't do it myself if I tried.

I took the Stillen Gen 3 intakes off and sold them. The FI exhaust, Berk HFCs and JWT clutch/fw are still on the car.. I would have gladly taken the rest of the stuff off but they insurance company isn't allowing me to.

Skorch · 02-06-2012, 12:58 PM

Got my Fast Intentions exhaust and HFCs as well as 4.08 gears installed over the weekend. The sound is amazing, I really missed having a FI exhaust. The FI HFCs sound even deeper than my Berks did on the '09 Z. As far as power - holy crap! I can't believe how much the exhaust and gears open up the car. I have a permanent grin on my face every time I drive this car now.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the install

Stock cat vs FI HFC

Stock vs FI pipe diameter differences

Unbolting the rear diff

Rear diff it out (not very difficult at all)

4.08 gears installed

Bolting it all back up

All done!
