very nice!!!
nothing like pride in knowing how unique your car is and that you did it yourself... what some may consider insane is another pride and joy. Everyone has their hobbies right? My friend put about $65,000 into his Z32 with no sponserships, just the personal self satisfaction of doing it himself. So I kind of know how it is to get the bug. I plan on doing the same on my Z, but maybe on a smaller scale.
r u planning to change the LSD, build up the motor, bigger brakes, maybe FI
anyhow... bravo!!

I am suprised that you haven't included a harness system. I see you have a V-1 but what about the remote V-1. You may have a reverse camera but nothing for filming and recording when you are x-crossing or tracking your car. You also have done brake work but did you change brake fluid to Dot 4-5. I don't see where you added neon washer nozzels.
Seems like you did alot of broad strokes but need to fine tune.

$60k on that???
That's the best you could do???
Pass... Sorry Nissan... I'll put my $60k to this...
Clean used 911 Turbos are EASY to find at that price. What kind of fu*kin idiot would drop that kind of cash flow, and not get ANY sort of return. What a waste... he might have the cash... but with financial decisions as such, I hope he has a rich mommy and daddy to fall back on...
Oh wait... are the rumors true?

Damn, I have never seen so many people B!tch about what someone else does to their car. His car is hands down the best looking Z out there. I have no problem with prople expressing their opinion, but in the past I have heard nothing but compliments on his car.
He posted the list because he was asked to, jealously is a mother f*cker. I like nice cars, I like Porches, I like BMW's, etc. I could probably find a nice one in my price range (new M3), but I wanted a 350Z, and when I am done, and have spent my budgeted 50K, I will destroy any M3 on the street, and look better doing it.
Have you people even seen his car?
By the way, I got carried away, props on the car, it is top notch, no matter what the haters say. Can't wait to see it in person someday.

I have to say Im on your side Skidazzle. Props buddy good job on pushing the Z's barriers.
All the people who say its retarded to spend that kind of cash on the Z are pretty lame. Especially if you own the car.
I myself like to build a car. The z is a dream It looks good and has vast potential.
If you wanted a M3 or a Porsche that what you should have bought one. Settling is just lame.

I must be honest, I am not too sure how to take the above comment, I mean really, does a Z28 fan buy a Cobra and mod the hell out of it, then say "I am a Z28 guy anyway, I am just waiting til the next generation comes out". Maybe I took it a little personal, but the supra comment was a little odd (no, it has NOTHING to do with NOT being a "Z" car guy, since I was also considering an S2000 or used 911, I a NOT loyal to only 1 manuf).

Hey Skiddazle props to you car. I have seen some previous pics before but have not seen new ones and definitelywill be looking out for them here. So make sure you post them.
For all the haters... why would you care what he does with his money or his car. Nobody else tells you what to do... Just my 0.02

That's an impressive list of mods.
Now all you need is nitrous, a supercharger, and one turbo for each cylinder.
Can't wait to see what's coming next.
-D'oh!

Well Ski, best of luck!
I personally like the styling of the Z as much or more so than any other car on the market. Thats why I bought it. I think if I was out in the market for a sportscar and had around $60-65k to spend I think I would of ended up with a top of the line 350Z also, I would of spent the better part of the remainder on "go" mods but there is not much out there yet to choose from. I plan to do some modding and will probably install the first proven safe FI system that comes into the market.
Anyway my comments were not to be taken in a "rude" way, it was just my reaction at the time. I was just curious what you did, I would of had the same reaction if I seen you at the drag strip and you were standing infront of me. People here in Boston tend to be that way![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
BTW- I'm a fairly young professional at 24 also, but I bought the car myself through working 40 hour weeks (8 weeks of vacation time
) I just like to hear how people have the time and the money to mod there car like that

Awesome car Skidazzle!
For the haters:
Aren't these forums supposed to be mostly about modding your cars anyway???? Did I miss something somewhere? Why would you come here to talk about your stock Z all the time....thats pretty boring IMO. I think you guys need to find a way to deal with your jealousy, which is obviously the root of the problem here. The idea that he could have bought this/that for 60k is lame...whoever thinks this doesn't understand what it means to be a car enthusiast. It's a hobby, it's not about going to a dealer, dropping 60k and then being done with it.
