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

Spooler

Hey, somebody come and touch me so you can take all my bad luck away.....LOL I dare ya.

We both will be fine eventually. It's life, when it feeds you lemons, you make lemonade. I think I will get her a Nissan GTR sometime in the future so I can drive it every now and then... I love my 370z Nismo too much to have anything else.

I did a couple of simple mods today.

For those of you who haven't done this yet, I strongly recommend that you do. The mods are simple and easy to do. It took me about 10 minutes as I was taking my time.

I am going to install my audio equipment tomorrow. Hope everything goes well.

I will post pics when I do.

What mod is this?

Well it is not a mod per say, but I changed the frosted dome lights for clear ones.
I was also planning on putting LEDs but then I changed my mind.

BoneZ

Oh... I never noticed. Now I want to go look at mine.

You probably have the frosted ones if you haven't changed them. I paid 26 dollars for the pair. A bit of a rip off, but they used to be 20 some dollars for each a few of years back.

Those are GTR map lights. A required mod. Looks so, much better.

Now you need to change those bulbs to LED's.

I might do that eventually, but first I want to see how bright the interior is at night.
I know LEDs are cheap, but I kind of like my retro old style regular lights.

They have warmer LEDs, which more closely mimic the incandescent lights.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. That could work actually. Do you know what they are called? Manufacturer?

I bought various bulbs from Diode Dynamics. They are a little pricey compared to others, but in my opinion, they are worth it.

I concur. These are two great mods to do. The GT-R start button just looks SO much better as do the dome light (map light) lenses.


As for what I did with my Z today?... I finally drove it for the very first time in the dark. The headlights look great, throw a nice wide, long pattern and are pure white.

And also for a first, noticed just how much brighter the map lights are now with those GT-R lenses. What a difference!

And speaking of the map light, I noticed a little orange LED up there in the map light as well. What's that for? All I noticed that it does is cast a very soft, very dim orange glow on the center console/HVAC dials. Not really enough to do anything. But it's a nice little touch I suppose.

It's meant to help light up the shift knob at night in case you forget where the shifter is
