Gawl's Nismo Journal

Gawl128

What's good guys! Figured it was about time to start recording my car's history - its a bit late, but since work has been so crazy I haven't done anything to it yet... So now is as good a time as any to start.

So a little flash back to begin: In 2012, at some point early on in the year - I found the car I just simply needed. 370Z. Nismo.

I spent the whole first two quarters of the year looking, and searching. Almost bought a forum member's car - almost bought a few from local dealers. Until I got a deal I could not pass up - price, car, and stars (for **** sake ... finally) came together. My 2011 Nismo #475, 9,000 miles under 30K. Car was perfect (minus a front bumper license plate I had no use for... I'll fix it later).

That was all in late August (my 25th birthday). As I said, work has settled - I've had time to get to know the nature of my car - and now I'm ready to start making it really mine.

For now, I'll keep things simple with current and planed parts list. Adding Pics and install pre/post reviews.

Current Parts on the car:
- Stillen Gen 2 (I've gotten a lot of crap for having this on ... lol ... and again I will say this: I got it for nothing and figured I would use it and learn a little about the car through the install)
- Z1 Motorsports Breather Tubes (HATED the stock tubes sooo much )
- Nismo Black Aluminum Shift Nob (came with the car)
- 3M Non-Metallic 20% tint
- ZSpeed Under shroud


Hopefully new parts to be added:
- F.I. LTHs
- F.I. TDX Catback Exhaust
- Stillen Gen 3 Intake (Powder coated Red)
- Uprev Tune (need to find a good tuner in South Florida...)
- Z1 25 Row Oil Cooler
- Z1 Stainless Brake Lines
- Z1 Stainless Clutch Line

Here are some shots of the car as it is now (Feb. 2013):






The first two pics are before tints - the last one is with the 3M Tint.

...more to come...
