Started the Z up yesterday for the first time this year. Hearing that VQ soul rev for the first time in 6 months is pure bliss.

Hope to have her on the road in 2-3 weeks.

Lowered it on Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. I'm very happy on how it turned out and it looks great with my 25mm Ichiba spacers.

Thanks! It was quite a pain but a lot better than fixed seats like it was before we couldn't be bothered doing the heated seats though, too much of a hassle when it's already pretty hot around here. It's definitely a lot more luxurious than cloth IMO.

Here's a picture of them all sorted
Your Z looks great! I really want to get a set of RPF1s as well but they're around 3k here

Haha figured I would give it a try. Plasti-dip is really cool to use though, definitely might use it for some other things

Actually, I used plasti-dip to black out my colored engine bay items. Washer fluid cap, dipstick handle, etc. wanted a cleaner engine bay. Ended up looking really nice and OEM. Wouldn't do anything on the exterior, though, unless I wanted to play with a crazy wheel color for a meet or something.

Got her clean and re-polished/waxed headlights with the good 'ol toothpaste trick!

Do some research in the wheels and tires section. You should be looking for wheels in the 10-20mm offset range. Mine are 18x9.5 +12

EDIT:

You can run whatever you can fit. User manual/oem sizes are recommended for guaranteed fit. But some people run much wider and much more aggressive set ups than I do and they find a way to fit it all.

you should spend some time reading the FAQs and the wheel threads etc but the lower the offset, the more pushed out the wheel is from the car

Tried to customize my Kenwood DDX470 splash screen. Can't get it to work, says to insert USB "system update." But there is no update yet it's a 2013 model!

Kinda pissed, that customization is one of the bigger reasons I went with it.
