-Spent $40 on aftermarket blue lug nuts to match my cars color.
-Put them on the front and rear right wheels.
-Destroyed all 10 threads because the aftermarket lugs are garbage.
-Wheels basically fell off trying to drive.
-Had to tow it one block away to the mechanic ($60)
-Had to get 10 new wheel studs ($190 parts+labor)
Lesson learned. Do NOT put aftermarket lugs on my car.

+15 and +7 are the effective offsets (with the spacers). I am rolled flat all around and a small pull in the rear to accommodate the fender flares. NA&CH has the exact same setup in the rear w/out the flares but I don't know if he's posted the pictures on here or not.

i just received my car from dealer.. yes i ordered z1 trans mount and changed it in the dealer.. why?
the dealer charged me 90 USD were other mechanics charged me around 85 to 100USD.
so better to give it to the dealer.
impression !! really feel driving a race car.. car more solid now.. but the vibration really increase when rpm go 5k+ make you feel that the engine will explode if you drive 7.5k rpm!!

I bought my Z with 2 air ducts in the front bumper and ive been trying to find a way to fill them in I was just wondering if you could just give me a short summary of how you went about filling the hole in and then painting that one area. Your finished product looks flawless in pictures

I finally installed my Bassani exhaust and love the way it made the car sound. I would have a few more pictures, but I can't stop driving the Z long enough to take some.

Just spent $270 on a brand new Optima YellowTop after my last one died this weekend.

Took a trip to Topspeed
↓White GTR is around 1400whp
Then this happened on the last dyno run for the day right as it was hitting peak power....
Didnt matter because i will need serious tires now
I'm hesitant to post the dyno graph because I would like to make a thread because of the end result from the stock motor. (May be most yet for HR?) Having the car for 7 years I feel it eserves a "progress" thread but they are so much up keep
but Topspeed let me borrow this for the ride home, GTR wheel wrapped in r888 lol

This morning I replaced my hatch lift supports with these Strong Arm replacements from Amazon.
Amazon.com: StrongArm 4194 Nissan 350Z 2003-05 Hatch Lift Support, Pack of 1: Automotive
Took about 30 mins and made me feel super handy...and no more worrying about getting nailed in the head when the hatch is open.
