Looking for new shoes to go with this kit. I'll paint it the car color and leave the CF exposed. Any recommendations!

I like the red pin strips on it!:tup:

Ill keep my color and use blue pin strips..

Blue is nice too!

Excited today:
Got Supercharger on the way, hopefully got Exhaust on the way, got my NST's today, getting my harness bar next week, got my motor mounts and trans mounts from Z1 today, getting Supercharger install instructions emailed, got a lift for a weekend to swap motor.. :excited:

Also settled on these rims with CF Zele Body Kit and UMA Vented fenders.. Man life is good! :driving:

So aweZome! I can't wait to see the progress my friend. If you still have that 34 row core, I might just snatch it up from you sometime :tup:

I got 2 boxes today. Vented fender liner and the Complete SC Kit. So happy.
Wish i could do the single turbo on Sophie but Sosha will not make one. He is buried MT kits.

I would do VSR kit in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the shadiness. Javier sold his Red 370 and got an STI. Really nice car, paid a lot for it. Bobby sold him on a motor and turbo kit. Well he got his car back after 3 months which isn't that bad and drove the car for a week. Pop, the motor goes driving 45mph to his work.

Midnightblue just got his car back from Bobby, they made a video for him. The car looks amazing and sounds awesome with the single exhaust. Javier's car is still sitting there and shows up in the video. Been there since before Christmas. If people only new about the guy's that have had parts taken off there cars and substituted for something else while having work done.

I checked on Glockworks car 4 times while he got his kit installed. The car was covered in dirt with windows down. When he got it back it was cleaned and buffed out so they took care of him.

I'm torn, i just hope our Z people have a good experience and don't run into any problems with the kit. Only company with single turbo for 7AT version Z's.

COSMO seems to like them.

It's a cool kit, but the place and it's history isn't good.

So excited! :excited::excited:

Man what a PITA's. Done, transmission next.

Not my image but looks like it!

Nice, what diff u get? Like the pic, that movie was just on the other night.

I have 80,000 miles on my car. It was time to swap out the Diff Bushings. I used Whiteline Kit. Doing DIY, found some stuff that i have not read on other DIY's figured it could help some one out.

Still Stock LSD

Done

Took awhile..

http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...made-easy.html

Made a press tool. Did it with stuff i had laying around. Literally took 5 min to get bushing in and 10 to get diff bolted up. Axles and drive shaft took a little longer. Bad back, crawling in and out from under the car sucks a$$.

2015 GTR is awesome.

cptr11 do you live in Apollo Beach Area?

Yup, Big Bend and 301 area

I've seen you a few times. I build the homes in Waterset and Waterleaf! Next time i see you i'll stalk you home and say high. Jeep CMDR

Sexy Rims, offset sucks
255X20's Front
305X20's Rear

Not Happy with the offset's. :ugh2:
20inch x 9.0 Front Rims with 20 offset, I had to add 15mm spacer to clear calipers. I hate them sticking out with a passion. Suck's

Rear's are 20 X 11.0 with 25 offset, I have 5mm spacer coming which should get them tucked in good enough.

The last picture I attached is what I wanted to get, I'll have to re-order fronts to get it correct.

This is what I want, rims tucked in, i think this is a nice clean and functional look. I don't know anything about offsets, the site i ordered from had this image posted. I got owned :owned:!!!!! My fault!!! I figured folks selling them would know, guess not :icon14:..
VIVID is helping me get them right. I still like the look.

Best modification I ever made.. So easy to grease sway's never need to take them off. :driving:

http://www.the370z.com/members/nut_n...38-resized.jpg

Lovely journal, fully enjoyed reading and viewing the pics.

Hi :D Thomas told me you're having trouble with your offset. Anyway, the last pic you posted is my Z. The fronts is actually +18 and i fitted a 20mm spacer to make it -2. I got the cambers set at -3.8ish to get it look tucked. Hope that helps ;)

:ninja3:

Karl (owner of K3projekt) doesn't really know much bout 370Z's offset. I calculated them by my own before ordering it.

Sounds like a plan!

:tiphat:

Dude,
Thank you, mine are 20mm offset i used 15mm to clear calipers, changing the camber is probably the key.

What tires do you have on the rear. I'm waiting for my 5mm spacers, that should clearance the fender for the rear tires. I love you car, i have it as a screen saver :tiphat:. Not a stalker :tup:... About to put my Zele Kit and Fenders on, I cant wait to get it all done and enjoy the car again..

Thanks for your input, very helpful..

No biggie my friend :) glad i could be of help.

Anyway, my rear tires in that pic was 285/35 and front was 255/35. Do you have a camber kit installed already?

Zele kit & fenders sounds awesome, i'm looking forward to it :D oh and thanks for the kind words :tiphat:

I'm a suspension noob, so what's the mod in the pick? I just ordered some whiteline front sways, so is there something I should do to them before I install?

Most sway bar bushings don't have grease fittings. I drilled a hole and tapped it out. Took a few grease fitting and installed them. I re-grease them about once a month. Keeps the bushings from going bad. Simple to do.

Yes i have a full upgrade front and rear SPC.. Will take it in Sat to get them adjusted, also got my 5mm spacers in today for the rear. All coming together.

Thanks buddy

Gotcha, thanks. I may have to give u a ring before I install mine :)
