The second pic was a very bright day and you can't see **** through it even looking through the windshield. Third pic is from the inside looking out back, but the truth is I never use my rearview mirror because driving with Loc's on you can't see **** through it either. And at night, forget about it. I have to roll my windows down to back up. I also drive with my windows down about 95% of the time anyways day and night so the darkness never bothers me and I love it that it doesn't get extremely hot inside when I get back to my car during triple digit temps.

Thanks for the pictures. Your car looks great! I'm gonna get over it and do it. I'll post the pictures when done.

It precisely matched the rev. Now that I'm used to it really enhances the driving experience!

I have limo in the back and one shade lighter on the sides. At night, its hard to see, so I take it slow. you can always get a back up camera, that will help some. The car looks so much better with Tint!

It's amazing what some painted wheels and calipers do for the look of the car. I love the 2013 models.

Does anyone know what the fog light section in black on the Fairlady Z is called and if it will fit on a Nismo? Here is the link: DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

No fog-light butt-plug on the nismo. No where to put it in your diffuser.

I got to poke around a '13 Nismo on the showroom floor today and could not tell much of a difference on the brake lines. Probably just a more rigid or nylon reinforced rubber.

I'm looking for the black piece that the light goes into... Do you know the name of the part? It is pictured in the Fairlady Z that I supplied the link to.

I guess the black part IS the diffuser...

Thanks for the info!

Went to the dealer today about the radiator leak. They replaced the cap. I'll cross my fingers that it works.

DavidB123 · 09-01-2012, 01:58 AM

The new radiator cap fixed the problem.

Does anyone have an opinion about an Uprev upgade chip or any other brand?

Man, enjoy your nice ride for a while! Plus I don't think Nissan left much on the table with the Nismo; performance gains will be at a premium.

Thanks. You're right. I'm trying to do too much at once. But I am enjoying this car! How do you like your Z?

Loving the 370Z Nismo, upgraded from a 2005 350Z which I tracked quite a bit. The 370Z handles better and is more nimble although it's only been to the track twice. It's going to take some time for me to drive up to its capability.
