Titan1080's Monterey Blue 370

[Titan1080]

Figured I'd start an album thread to share my Z.

First day at home with the T


Random shots during the first month




After the first 4 hour bath


First auto-x (thanks Spec Jay!)





Clear bra did it's job!

Some random drives



North Cascades drive with the Z Car Club of Washington


Northwest Toy Run last December


A drive out to Long Beach in February with the first mod (rear fog)



Plenty more to come with pics of some recent big mods!

nice, looks like you've had some fun in the Z

Up on a lift to install a Fast Intentions exhaust:









Putting on some new shoes, OEM R35 GT-R wheels with Bridgestone runflats:

Fronts



Rears



Test fit with 20mm spacers on the rear:


Fitment with spacers removed (since sold spacers), the offsets on the GT-R rims are perfect for the 370!


Some pics from around Everett/Mukilteo, loving how the wheels match the brake calipers, might have to do the same to the door handles now:






At a recent meet, my car was grimey dirty at the time:



Would like to get some Stillen sway bars this summer if I can get some OT at work but for now I'm just going to enjoy the Z, go on road trips and meet up with the local Z's, and of course pics of all the adventures!

The wheels are 20"x9.5" +45 in the front and 20"x10.5" +25 in the rear. The tires are the older stock Bridgestone RE070 runflats, front: 255/40ZRF20 rear: 285/35ZRF20 They've got some miles on them and have stiff as hell sidewalls but man are they sticky!

looks great on the GTR rims.

GTR rims looks great on the Z, you're still at stock height as well right?

When full turn of the front wheel .. is that any problem??

[Mr&Mrs]

Looks good, thanks for the photos I enjoyed them!

[Jordo!]

Looks nice.

Suggestion for next cosmetic mod: Door handles and emblems painted to match snazzy GTR wheels

Everything clears fine with no rubbing, but I wouldn't mind an extra 10mm on the front to give the tire a little more clearance from the spindle. I'm on stock suspension so technically stock height but obviously I got about 1/2" of lift or so, definitely looking into color-matching the door handles! Long term I want to add some coilovers to lower it back down to offset the lift from bigger tires.

Currently in between mods and had way too much time on my hands last weekend...So I've had the red 370Z Xmod for a while and still have plenty of factory paint left (which is good, since the Tamiya model I have under construction still hasn't been painted...) so decided to color-match it to my Z.

First, had to remove all the light lenses and the windows:



Next a coat of primer:



Followed by the base coat:



Painted on some details then clear-coated. Went with gunmetal door handles to see how my car would look, I need to do that soon!





Windows and lenses installed:



Had a GT-R Xmod lying around, ready for a wheel swap:



Reassembled and ready to run!
