Put some 10mm spacers on the rear to make the net offset 18x10.5 +10.
Tomorrow, putting some 17mm's on the fronts to make it 18x9 +8

 

I almost totaled my Z 1 block away from the Nissan Dealership today. That's what I did for it today. Ha ha. FML!

 

^ badass man.. BAD. ***.

 

Put in the injen intake, art test pipes and motordyne exhaust. A lot more to install over the next few weeks then the tune.

 

who did you get your front bumper from? how was the fitment/quality?

 

Today, I drove my Z and clocked the odometer to over 51,000 miles. Yeah!

 

Picked up a 06+ bumper and got my fenders rolled more and slightly pulled

 

Continued the destruction

 

^ i think i've seen those two pictures at least 8 times in the last 2 days in like 7 different threads..

 

I'm So happy, after a 13 month wait after the first idiotic body guy and 3 more at the second shop, i'm quite proud of it

Solar Orange (Audi Color)

Looks good, although I think you need to go a little lower to reduce your fender gap.

Not a huge fan of the apr wing either, but you definitely did it right with the color of the car!

 

I think it looks great! Good job! Where in Quebec are you?

 

Just ordered 24"x48" of Di-Noc carbon fiber gloss black tape for my interior. I'll post pics when I put them on my door trim and steering wheel.

 

picked up an El cheapo polished strut tower bar ( i put some better hardware on it so theres no wiggle room):



Also got my Akebono 14" front and rear BBK ftw.
Im not taking the rotors out of the boxes for pics, but DAYMN.. im going to need tp upgrade to 2 piece up front whenever i can afford it.. these are HEEEAVY. Stefan was dead right on that.. wow.. opt for the 2 piece if you can afford it.. i couldnt so here i sit.


Pics dont do justice to how huge these calipers are... this is a small lighter, but still.. they are not OEMish as one may think.

BTW, they are getting fully painted so the Infiniti means nada, they are simply a bit cheaper.












Im contemplating picking up the VIS carbon tunnel hatch next week... at least that will offset the weight of these brake rotors a bit.

 

you need to raise the leading edge of your wing, I run the same one on the track at about +2 AOA , above 80mph , it really under steers badly. To run negative AOA like you have, you really need a full race splitter up front.

 

Congrats! The calipers are bigger than Brembos. I love mine.

When are you getting the car back?

 

Did some more prep work to my V2 bumper. Removed the hood lines then wet sanded the entire bumper to get out the imperfections in the black primer and gel coat...

Only things left on my list is Nismo sides and rear valance parts (maybe a diffuser), coilovers, wheels, tires and paint. Then I'll work on getting an 06 hood.

 

Test pipes installed.

 

waxed my Z for the first time... almost been a year since i bought it, had alot of tree sap and other grit all over- the car looked like crap! Borrowed someones garage, ever since i moved into city its been hard to do the little things

Wash
Clay bar
Wax
Removed front plate
Interior detail -major seats pulled, trim pieces off, air compressor to clean out everything
Engine bay detail
Spray painted trunk mat in the back section where the sun faded it, A+ to vinyl paint

7hours but feel much better, next time i wont wait as long

 

That's good dedication to do that, esp. after nothing for a year, get some pics up!
