Thanks dude much appreciated. Yeah I got them coated. The clear on the mercury silver started to fade off on the drivers side that gets constant sun for the past 7 years. I occasionally wax the wheels but south Fl sun is killer.

I'm glad you like it, I promise I'll take better pictures soon. I'm thinking about changing the v3 front.. everyone and their mother have a replica v3 front. I was maybe thinking on getting the ings front lip on the oem bumper. What do you think?

keep things as they are right now your car looks spot on!! no need to change things up. i had a ING's front lip on mine....really loved it, but than i hit something on the street while driving and the front got damaged....to shorten a long story i ended up with the ING's long nose front i really like the way the car looks now. well what i'm trying to say here is that i really like the shape of the car with those "long nose" (Nismo V3 ....) front bumpers better than the original front bumper, they flow alot better with the whole shape of the car...IMO!! but i can also see what you mean to change up things...i'm also thinking from time to time to change up something on the exterior...but i guess at some point you just doing it because you get bored and not because you don't like the way your car looks.

Yeah i agree.thank you for the compliments. I just feel like I must keep modding hehe. Yes thats why i got the oem niamo front because i knew i was gonna destroy a frp bumper if i got one. I don't wanna touch the engine until I have to. Dude today I just scored on a nismo gauge cluster and production plate for a steal!! I can't wait till I get them. It's sad to find wrecked nismos

hear ya just leave things as they are for now :P and if you really have to keep modding do little subtle things, like the interior or the engine bay. i just wraped some interior parts with cf (wonder how they came out still need clear coat to really see the final product).....keeps you busy modding but it's not that expensive. nice find on the nismo gauge cluster!!! if buy them from Nismo they are pretty expensive. and yes it's sad to see nismos get wrecked but i guess that just how it is these days, with the prices for the Z dropping.

Thanks xm1 It was a smooth easy swap. Took me like 30 minutes. The only thing is that since my z was a base the slip and TCS lights are on. I might take the thing apart again to remove the bulbs. I was also thinking if I get the TCS switch will it work? It had the cable tucked in with the plug under the steering column.

i want one too now :P is it just a swap or do you have to remove parts to unmount the old one? not sure on the TCS thing....shouldn't there be a ECU for this???? i would prob. just get rid of the bulbs

is the Nismo 370Z steering wheel a straight forward swap or do you have to modify anything??? i would really love to get one of those Mine's steering wheels for mine.


but they only offer it for the GT-R...not sure if a GT-R wheel will fit the 350Z, but i guess it's anyway illegal to swap over here in germany

@xm1
The 370z to 350z steering wheel swap is just plug and play thing. I believe some reorganizing of the wiring is required for the steering wheel controls to work. I'll find the thread about it somewhere in this forumn. Also, for the gauge cluster it's just 4 bolts that hold it in place and the plugs are exactly the same. Yeah I'm probably just gonna take it apart and remove this 2 bulbs since I dont have TCS in my z anyway.
