What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

kpic · 06-23-2016, 02:16 AM

Had my CNT Racing CBE installed on my Z today! Went with the blue tips. Considered all the usual suspects, but being in Canada the cost was insane once you add in duty, tax, shipping, and exchange. Sounds awesome, quality looks good to me, fit was perfect. Got to burn off most of the crap in there today, looked like I was pushing blue for a few miles but really did feel more free revving and smoother throughout the rev range. So much better than stock!

I got my exhaust and intakes when dollar was par thank god. Looks good. Trust me you will have residue smells for about a week or so of driving while the exhaust burns off the factory lubricants and it breaks in.

As in just rev harder

Looking good!
Nice to see it coming together for you.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh
From the looks of things it'll be next week sometime?

Now you'll need to add some more go, to go with the show!

It's a new revolutionary system. For only $19.95.

I know what you mean. I think the spacing is perfect. The rears are almost flush and the fronts are just tucked in a little. It even makes it look like the car has been lowered. In fact, I've been thinking that I might save some money by NOT buying the Swift springs and instead get some stock Nismo springs (new or very low mileage used) instead as I think they lower the car just a touch as well as being a little bit stiffer. Then just get an upgraded front sway and be done with it.

Got any links?

I've been looking but not finding a whole lot of decent info. One site that looked promising ended up no longer being around. I think it was called "your led shop" or something like that.

I'd like to get LED's for the map lights, the rear cargo light, and licence plate lights. Just white, not blue or anything. I really like the "exact fit" ones from iJDMToy, but doesn't seem like they offer any for the cargo and licence plate led's.

Totally agree. I already have the lowering springs and camber kits so I'm going to go through with it, otherwise I'd be tempted to leave it. I went with 25mm front and 30mm rear. I might have to get 25's for the rear once it's lowered but I wanted to try 30's first. Right now it looks almost perfect. Hoping it's even better lowered.

30mm in the rear?! My 20mm in the rear looks like the tires would rub if I lowered the car. Using the stock wheels? 18's or 19's?

Rear fenders are rolled from factory so as long as my tiens don't sag too much I should be good. If not I'll order 25's. And yah it's on stock 18's.
