Custom Machined Parts For Your 370Z

RandyJamesA · 05-24-2010, 09:53 AM

I would like the door handles. A grounded, conductive handle gives you a good place to touch as you get out of the car. This means you don't build that static charge in the winter time that I hate so much. I know this might sound nuts, but I got spoiled with a metal handled car once, and now I think of it every winter when I get the static shocks.

I'd like to see a shift knob with a Z on the top.

It could be something like MGW makes for the mustang and viper crowd or even just a cylinder.

i dont know autocad, but i do kno some 3D Max to make a 3d render of it.

3" tall new Z emblem

Would anodizing the OEM door ext handles be unpossible?

Then again, even black on (magnetic) black wouldn't look quite right...

does anyone else feel me on the engine cover? I've been waiting for some to come out, but to no avail, seems all options lead to painting it myself, and I am by no means, an expert painter.

Not sure if it's possible but how about a shift gate like the R8?

specZ · 05-24-2010, 11:19 PM

+1 on the door handles

Ztoon · 05-25-2010, 12:02 AM

Just thinkin.....

Alright, some great Ideas guys. Im deffinatly considering the the int. handles, as well as the lock buttons, shifter boot ring, e brake button, cup holder ring and center consol storage box button in alumiunim. also the door sills, the "burgers" and the engine cover.

Havn't decided which one I'll start with, but some of the int. parts I listed above (handles, shifter boot ring, ) have some pretty complex geometry so thats going to take some time. I'll probably start with somthing easy like the door sills, or the burgers and work my way to the more complecated parts.

Any suggerstions as the the design of the burgers?

...To Mindfussion FX if you can do some 3d rendering on any of the parts listed above it would save me all kinds of hassle. Your efforts would not go un rewarded.

How about a part that will replace the Nissan burger in the front with a Z emblem. I would be ALL over that....

v8zracer260z · 05-25-2010, 03:31 PM

I too would like to replace the Nissan logos with a new style "Z" emblem front and rear.

speedworks · 05-25-2010, 07:17 PM

I'd like to replace the Nissan logo in the front/back with Datsun logos.

AgStacker · 05-25-2010, 07:23 PM
