+1... keep it clean!!

 

+1. The OEM hood makes it "sleeper" (as sleeper as a car with plates that read "modifyd" can be).

Really like the car.. I want to take my car in this direction.
Do you know how much the forged g35 19's weigh? A friend of mine wants to sell me his.

 

19lbs each, there is a significant difference in weight between the OEM 17s and 18s.

 

Nice, now will you PLEASE stop modeling your car after mine!!!!

 

What can I say, your car is the poop

 

 

Your car looks very nice.

For persormance I would go with the 3.9 FD, and for looks I would go with some side skirts or like you mentioned vailside v1 side wings...

 

TX-Ruben,

I thought you were going to sell her and get a G35. I could have sworn in another thread I saw your car and you were thinking of going that way. What happened.
Forgive me if I was mistaken.

I say go for a splitter:



Or tint the top of your window:



Cheap and nice looking!

 

where'd u get that splitter.....

and how is it?

 

How is it? Nice ..... If you tap it it saves the front end. If you hit it it retracts and then you have to unbolt and rebolt it. But, it has saved my chin spoiler about 5 times so far. I am really carefully not to pull into parking spots too far. But when I do it is nice to have this hit first instead of my painted front bumper.

I mounted mine with extra large SS fender washers and it gives up to 2" before contact with front bumper. Kinda hard to explain how that mod works:



You can't see the extra large SS Fender Washers in this picture however. They are on the topside of the bumper to allow a plate like action for sliding.
Like I said that mod is hard to understand. Not need really, just something I figured out. I used this picture before to explain how to cut your air shield for easier oil changes. That mod saves you taking off an extra six screws/bolts.

Anyways, the SS Fender washer mod generally allow the air shield to flex and pop out of the bumper without damage during hard hits. That is enough time to feel or stop yourself. The edge material is standard at RV shops and if it get scuffed up you just replace it. The Splitter doesn't bend since you are hitting it on the edge. It is about 3/16 inch thick powdercoated Alum/Steel blend material. You see this guy really thought about this when he designed it. I haven't seen it on another Z yet.

Actually it is called a Front Lip Bumper Protector on their site:

PM'd you with information since this isn't a sponsor.

The Protector is pre-drilled, powdercoated and just bolts on. Very simple mod.

 

Nice ride TXruben...am from SA too, I think I mIght have seen you around Ingram once......where did you get the Z emblems for the front and back...???????

 

I think he got them here:

I like those too !!!!

 

haha... I like this word... camS

A new set of cams are definitely nice, hell, my GTP having a new cam is nice! I gotta say a CF hood probably wouldn't look too hot though.

 

ok, back on to the oem topic:

Since it seems like you're always modifying your car, I would get the 3.9fd AND the cam that way they can be installed at once so less labor charges. Have you thought about brakes? I didn't see you list them. With speed, you need brakes. Stoptec or brembos would be the way to go. It also looks like you're running on infiniti wheels. IMO those are too narrow for the Z. I would do at least 275 in the rear.

It's really not my cup of tea since it seems like a hassel, but how about vertical doors?

btw, that strecth or road in the pics looks too damn tempting. The video is great and thank god that other car wasn't a popo.

 

lol, the other car RIGHT behind that car WAS a popo.

 

what?

 

That second car was a sherrif... listen really close, I squeal the tires at the end when I romp on the brakes. Almost pooped myself.

 

Lambo doors? Nah... I had 18x9.5s with 275 out back and 245 up front. I like the handling better with the 225 / 245s, I thinks its more than enough tire for a Sub-300hp car. If I boosted... that would be an issue.


3.9 and Cams with install are up there with a Turbonetics ST...

 

That Splitter looks cool. And yes I was looking at getting a G35c. I'd be a little upside down on my trade and would have to get all my mods off... didn't seem to make any financial sense. I could spend the $$ lost on mods and be happier for at least a month.

 

Oh damn... rofl.

I couldnt tell in the video, wonder how that guy did.
