Mine was a 1978 280Z in silver. Worst paint ever.

Enjoyed my commute today in Harry. (I love Harry)

A manager stopped me on the way out and wanted to know "how many sports cars do you have"? Lol

so today i moved my nismo wheels from storage in anticipation to swap wheels this weekend.

i upped the DW front to 38.5psi and dropped the rear to 36.5psi hoping i can rid the slight floaty
feel i get through a fast s-turn. if not, they are coming off the car and swapping to my nismos
with the advan sports.

then the weds will get new tires wrapped.

Default Installed a pair of ZOOM Blue Side Mirrors

Bought a set of ZOOM Engineering side view mirrors last week and installed as soon as I arrived from work last night. This thing works!

Yes it is the lens replacement. I'm still getting used to the high and wide view you get from these lenses.

I saw DE's CS on his car and like the slick look of CS.

...I see you talking about me...

I might get rid of my Craftsquares because more often than not do people think they look retarded

Put my new Z1 undertray in, was kinda meh about it, seems that it's just not covering the sides as well as I thought. I'll feel better about it when I next change my oil. It's pretty and all, but now I have two empty bolt holes and the sides of it are wide open when it could (with a little more effort on Z1 part) been fitted as well as the OE part. I kept the OE tray as I'll put that back on if I decide to sell/trade. Nothing says be suspicious of this car better than add ons.

Sorry, It is the ZSpeed, I can't communicate. I think I invented a vendor on the fly. Yes, it's the ZSpeed one. I just don't like having empty bolt holes and less coverage. Shame on me, I should have done more research. Maybe I'll make something to affix to the ZSpeed tray to make it look more like it was made for the car instead of the designer going 85% of the way to a proper fit and stopping, hoping folks would buy it anyway and when they noticed the open gaps, would live with it.

oh i c. is that opening on the front of the wheel well or side/aft?

I ask because the nismo r-tune intake (ingen?) pulls air from the front of the fender well vs front of the radiator like on the gen3's. might be another thing to buy..(?)
