Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

Thanks Fellas!!! I have the stock one completely off and I'm taking a little break to eat and such. I should finish up tonight. Will post pics tomorrow. Thinking about just leaving it up on the jack stands to do the eibach sways tomorrow night. Weeknights can be pretty productive when your GF lives 5 hours away.:roflpuke2:

Tell me about it, I have caught up with all my ish since my GF has been visiting her mom for a week. It's pretty amazing!

What wiring approach did you take with the rear fog lamp?

And this is the exact same question I have. Seems that everyone tends to go a different direction with them. :)

Yeah I think most people wire them to the brake lights so that when you hit the brakes it lights up.

I like the version where you can wire it to the already prewired system and make a switch/buy new turn signal switch

^^^This is the way to go in my opinion.

Meh, I'd like to have it flash when braking and reversing, otherwise off. I haven't yet seen anyone else do it that way.

That is what I did. I just wired it up to blink when I hit the break. I didn't have any problems it just seems easier that way. Plus I am an impatient man with fat fingers. Dealing with the little 24 gauge wire sucks!!! I will need some patience tomorrow however when I tackle my HFC.

Any thoughts on how to wire it to blink on brake and reverse? :)

Yeah all u have to do is tap into both the red and orange wires. I thought about doing that, but my reverse lights are so bright the blinking light will just confuse people!

Well, looks like the Z is already sold. So I may be bumping up the aquiring of a 240Z a bit quicker. I expected it to take a little longer to sell but I'm not complaining.

Do you have a 240 selected?

Seems too easy. :) Nothing is ever that simple (especially when it comes to electrical goodies)! :shakes head:

Thanks -- I just picked up a re-mastered version of the album (along with some nice live goodies and demo versions). I almost forgot how good it is. Everyone raves about Dark Side of the Moon -- which is phenomenal, but Wish You Were Here is great as well.

I think the biggest things that caused me to not consider the 295/30 route is that the miminum wheel width listed was a 10.5". The stock Rays are 10". Also, Kenchan mentioned that the Z would look lifted. Considering that I have the stock suspension, I can't afford to appear to have more wheel gap than i already do.

As you can see I'm majorly torn over this dilemma, and I've thought long and hard over it. I sure wish I could see some Zs with 295s on it, stock Rays and stock height. :(

That the bead protection seems to be sufficent as far as I can tell.

I also went with stock sizes. I didn't think that it would be wise to put those 295 tires on stock Rays. I like my Rays so I decided to stick with the stock sizes and not have the possibility of changing the handling characteristics of my Z.
