For the tank why not get real carbon fiber that is flexible and wrap it around it, held in with rubber clamps or 3m adhesive spray??? U can pit the seam on the bottom and you will never know its a wrap vs mold and look amazing

You can get it in any size\colour needed. Just an idea. I got mine from Ohio.....probably pretty close to your location.....

Is that the front adjustable camber arm? Did you get the ones for the rear camber too? I'm sitting pretty low on coilovers and I want to get adjustable camber arms for front and rear so I can return to stock alignment. How hard is this install? Any particular brand?

Yeah the fronts are adjustable and I have the rear SPL adjustable camber arms. I would have gone with SPL up front as well, but $700+ seemed a little too much for me.

Its been awhile since I've updated this thread, mostly since I haven't done much to the Z in the last few weeks, but here's a brief update....

I installed my front adjustables without any problem, however at the same time I was trying to lower my front coils to get a better stance and in the process broke the OEM end link (couldnt believe it). I had a scare there for a little bit and literally called every Nissan dealer within an hour drive to try to find one as I had two car shows the following weekend. Thankfully Z Speed performance is about an hour drive from me and Joe had one in stock, so I was able to replace it within 24 hours. Ultimately I ended up keeping my front stance the same as I didn't want to put a ton of pressure on the end links, but now I'm wondering how low I can actually get with the OEM end links, adjustable end links are an option, but i know I've seen people with bagged Zs or Gs lay their car on the ground with the OEM end links and I'm not going that low. Anyone have any advice?

Ive also been thinking about what direction I want to go in with the interior. Although at some point I want to update my steering wheel, I've been heavily considering going with a weld in half or full cage. Although I'd love to keep it JDM and go with the HPI cage the cost and wait would be killer, so I'm meeting with a local performance shop today to get a quote. Hopefully I can get them to give me a decent price and if so I think I'll pull the trigger. I sold my TS brace bar cover and plan on selling the GT Spec bar so that will at least help fund the project.

I've also been having alot of trouble with the Works I have on order. Mostly my own trouble. Mark at RavSpec has been beyond awesome during this whole process, but recently i was debating whether or not to change the barrel color from the glossy bronze I originally ordered to matte bronze. Mark was more than willing to process the order, but I would have to wait another 2-3 months... yikes!! I decided to keep my original order and the wheels should be here in the next couple of weeks!!! Although I really like the look of the gold Advans I can wait for my VSXXs.

Finally, a show update. I had two shows last weekend, one local and an Import Faceoff. The local show was catered to classics and euro cars, but I ended up walking away with best import... not to bad. Import Faceoff was great, it was my second one in the past month (first one was in St. Louis) and this one was huge in comparison. A lot of great (and not so great) cars and people and some drag racing, cant beat that. I walked away with best Nissan which was great, but even better I meet some really great forum members in person. All great guys they love the Z platform and have no issues talking for hours about their cars. I'll be meeting up with them again soon and cant wait. Thanks Rid3_FaM0uS (check out his wire tuck DIY, OMG) and Kukpet (great looking Nismo).

Here are a few pics from Import Faceoff:

Gotta keep that, but should that time come you'll be the first to know. Well I just got a quote on the half cage and they are offering me an amazing deal through a sponsorship. So in two weeks time I'll have a purple roll cage. I'll be selling the gt spec strut bar if anyone is interested.

I also talked to the place about installing my FI LTH (finally). That may be done at the same time!!!
