Very cool! On the other hand...yours would look amazing if you custom built two sets of LEDs into the rear two cut outs above the exhaust as your rear fogs...
Also in the day picture it looks as if your fog light is a bit tilted to the bottom left....could just be the glare too.

On another note...is that the new company truck to the right of you? We never did see pics...lol

Holy Crap man!!! With everything you've done you still have the oem muffler.:p

Now I know why he was so sad when I sold my Top Secret exhaust. Still got some other parts coming for sale. Let me know if you still want those Top Secret side skirts or some Top Secret coilovers.

You wont stop right :) Z is looking better and better day by day

im still struggling to sell my steering wheel :( im hoping itll sell straight up after i win the bid on ebay for a oem one.... that way no one has to wait and hopefully someone jumps on it already.... but i hope you see how much of a top secret whore i truly am... only thing im missing for the small bits and pieces is a top secret tow hook..... but thats after your side skirts... :driving: i wouldnt mind the aragostas either but i wanna cup kit my whole z... not just the front... :(

I would love to take that steering wheel off of your hands! .... but I don't have anything to match :(

I am not sure that's good idea though, what if he decides to change it down the road? or heaven for bid..... sell the sell and part it out first to go back to OEM or as close as possible pre-sale.....:ugh2:

Might look good if you double nut the two OEM studs will make the illusion of them being shorter.

simota1 11-01-2013 03:08 AM

my build has definitely slowed down... :icon14: ..... due to budget being exhausted and more important things needing funding :mad: im pretty sure i dont have any more big mods coming out this year.... ill come back out next year... in the mean time.... here is some of my last mods for this year.... i always appreciated the small mods :tup:

carlitos_370z 11-07-2013 05:25 AM

looks awesome bro!!! i love your engine bay hahaha!!! hope to see mine as yours some day :)

simota1 11-07-2013 05:27 AM

one more thing fellas... im having a problem with my oem exhaust making contact with my amuse rear.... im scared itll led to a crack soon.... i just noticed it today... :( so im thinking aam short tails or another form of axle back till i raise enough for the amuse titan.... any ideas...? i actually thought of getting a fujitsubo for a temp exhaust but the canister looks fugin huge again.....worse comes to worse imma get those cheap ebay "axle back canister".... the one from beluga looks decent,...

carlitos_370z 11-07-2013 06:16 AM

im going to PM you ;)

simota1 11-08-2013 04:03 PM

so after looking at my rear bumper there is definitely pressure....... its pushing my amuse bumper 1/2 forward :( im scared itll crack it when i drive it

Beluga Racing Nissan 370Z 2009 2013 3 7L Stainless Performace Axle Back Exhaust | eBay

i might get these as a temp fix.... i thought about just making flanges and welding turn down tips on them but lord i know how loud that will be..... i dont wanna waste money on a set up that i will replace but at the same time cracking the cf portion on the amuse isnt in my plans either :(

KaienZ34 11-08-2013 04:11 PM

Looks good, i'm also thinking about a temp exhaust as i'm stock Again at the moment. I wonder how low they hang, got any pics of them installed on a z?

ill take some pics of them once i install them, they shipped out two days ago....

on another note i installed my alacantra knee pads... i dyed the stitching red.... i decided to keep my 40th console for the 2nd time :icon17: im way to fickle with my decisions.... :shakes head: and i told myself... at least with 40th it wasnt stock... and red stitching on a wheel definitely looks sexy..... the knee pads came out great... i had my doubts with the stitch dying... but 4 passes and it looked like the 40th stitch... a real deep red... :tup:... i ordered some alacantra boots also for my shift knob and e brake.... :tup: all i need now is the door panels and im golden.... and as for the pedals... all i need is a gas pedal :tup: oem goodness...

still needa make a button for the momo e brake....

ill take pics of my progress when my spacers arrive.... i ordered 15mm H&R for the front... that way i know i can use them on the future rims i want since they only come in a +22 offset for the front i believe and +26 for the rear.... keep your fingers crossed....

Meulen 11-14-2013 07:24 AM

Looks INCREDIBLE man!

Maybe a dumb question, but what's the clear hoses and canister on the right of the motor?
