You can modify it, change the wheels to aftermarket (TE37, BBS LM, etc.)

I have actually seen 1 person 3d printed his own V1 Nismo wheels for this very same Tomica car. That person listed the finished product on ebay for like a ridiculous $150 or something.

Here are a few of mine.

Are the rest of your coolant hoses including the heater hoses from 2009?
If so replace them all and delete the plastic heater hose mender with a metal one.

Have you seen the silver '09-'11 with black wheels and cross hatched hood to mimic CF? I didn't see it in your broad collection in case you're interested in expanding it.

New Carbon, Ride Height & A Minor Tweak...
 
New Carbon Signal & Fly1 parts, a minor change and ride height adjustment that fixed a previous handling and steering issue that came about when the spacers went on...

Annoyingly, making this all happen took waaaay longer than it should have...

Honestly, I've fallen in love with my Z all over again! ❤️

Thanks. I've seen that one. I've limited myself to those slots for the Z's, gotta keep the ever expanding collection under control.

Looks great, V2 Nismo front is tied for my fave with the OG fangs. :tup:

What handling and steering issue did you experience with adding spacers?
First I'm hearing of an issue post spacers.

After watching a Motor Week episode exploring the lineage of the 400Z, I noticed the 240's and 280's had diamond pattern upholstery on the transmission tunnels.

Being I like cars with a lineage, I figured I'd pay homage to the prior models and applied the same to my 370Z. Simply ordered diamond pattern pleather floor mats and hacked them up to only be visible on the trans. tunnel.

Wife’s car gets new tires today. Gave Zohr mobile install a try. Love their low profile air jack. Edit: sorry for sideway picture

Got my Z back from body shop yesterday. Had a hit run at noon, and had to replace the smashed fly1 rear diffuser. I still hate those guys, but that one part fits and looks nice.

Replaced my third morimoto headlight. I’ve been experiencing defective headlights from them over the last 2-3 years. Low beams and high beams both won’t turn on. Now the turn signal won’t light up Amber, and instead blinks white rapidly.

Got a whole slew of suspension parts sitting in spare room to install, but had a partial laminectomy done yesterday too that I’m recovering from.

Get well soon! Were you also hit a couple of months ago or was that someone else in G'ville?

Sorry to hear of the struggles with the Mori's. I'm none too happy about seeing all the lens cloudiness issues popping up now as I replaced my OE lights lenses with Mori's. :mad:

Those are Morimotos in name only, weren’t designed by Morimoto, not even sure if it even oversees the manufacturing process.
