I’m so happy to see an enthusiast who kept a car they love for this long and so clean and not clapped out! Love it!

Got the Bridgestones installed. Other new parts on the car are the Morimoto headlamps and the Z1 Strut Brace

I LOVE my Morimotos. I got the taillights too. I think they are the coolest headlights on any car. And I got a REALLY good deal on Black Friday.
Love your setup.

Can I make a request? Do you think you could take a picture from inside you car at night to show the light pattern from your Morimotos?
I can’t tell if mine need adjusting or if it’s just because the light output is so different.

Yeah I'll grab one Saturday evening. I definitely didn't align them to "spec" but i put them close to where my beams were with the lasfit mod on my stock headllights.

Since this thread seems to be the bulk of all posts anymore, I’ve got a wheel fitment question for you knowledgeable peoples.

I’m pondering new wheels and was wondering if this setup works for the Z?
I’m pretty clueless about wheels, so forgive my ignorance.

19x9.5 +25/19x10.5 +22 5x114.3

I imagine you would want the rear to have a lower offset to match the front.

For visual reference: the width and diameter you listed are the same as OEM Nismo wheels. But, your proposed front wheel sits 15mm more outward (OEM Nismo is +40mm in front), much closer toward the fender, while the proposed rears sit virtually the same as the OEM Nismo (OEM Nismo is +23mm in the rear).

lol, you're about to get yelled at for not posting in the dedicated thread, but that a good setup. It's not too far off from mine.

Yeah. I know, but after fifteen years, I took a chance.

What are your numbers?

Finally got replacement resonators and flex joints welded into my Invidia Gemini exhaust since they were rattling and leaking. BUT now I have a real annoying drone from 1800-2500 RPM. UGH. I didn’t think that swapping resonators, despite the new ones being aftermarket & slightly different size, would cause a drone like this. The pipes did need to be forced into alignment more than usual and I relied on the bolt clamping at the flanges to “pull” it all together… I wonder if the extra tension/preload on the exhaust is causing some drone?

My setup is Invidia Gemini + non-res test pipes but the car is still fairly loud during normal driving. Actually considering a cheap OEM exhaust to see how I like it paired with test pipes. This would probably make me lose some power with my supercharged setup though…

Sorry for the rant!
