Z driver, your wife has a point. Lose the LED turn signal thingie, looks pretty lame. Spend your money on something worthwhile. Sorry dude, I just hate stupid **** like that. Gives Z owners a bad name.

zzz350^^Thats a bit harsh, but I do agree the money could have been spent on something much more usefull

Heres how I did my audio set-up for the rear. Nothing special-sounds good for me

I have PPW, so that already makes me unique -- aren't too many of us.

The car I bought came with huge Fujitsubo exhaust, which I have yet to see on another Z.

I also have the Z symbol on the front, instead of the Nissan symbol.

I only know of two people here who have the same spoiler I do.

The grounding kit? Oh THAT thing. I was just bored when I did the grounding kit during the Holidays.

Wish I had enough $$$ to go FI next time I get bored.
I am running 295's and looks wise, I think they are still too pillow'ish

well...my dual monitors is kinda different, look inside the hole in my VIS hood (mind the spot of bird poo), I mounted my kinda dissassembled amp behind plexi- I havent seen it like this before, camera through my license plate ( not unique, but something ya dont see everyday), 5- 10's is kinda unique. Oh yeah and I made my own led front reflectors ( they project a line across 4 lanes of traffic on each side and light up the sides of the street, [150k 10mm 15VDC LEDs])

[QUOTE=Z_Driver]What have you done that you feel in different from 99% of the other Z's out there?

I'll start with the Z Badge turn signal mod. This mod is a led ring that is installed under the Z Side Badges. You can wire it up to come on with your lights or, blink when you turn on the blinkers. I choose to wire mine as a blinker indicator.



That's really cool, how long did it take to install?

I've gutted my trunk area and integrated my 12" sub where the spare tire was.
I haven't seen this setup yet since most of you install ur subs underneath the rear strut.

What makes my Z different than all the rest?

It's not driven by a tool.
