Was your car an auto or stick before? I assume auto. I saw a video on Youtube where a car had paddle shifters added to his Z and there was a delay when trying to shift.

It's the regular 5AT shift with a small delay, however I drove my friend's 5AT with transgo valve body upgrade and it had almost no delay with firm shifts.

Here's another shot. Downshifting directly from 5 to 3 or from 4 to 2 is awesome.

I got some Shocks and springs off an 08 nismo with 25k on the clock. I removed them after 2 days of driving because the car sat higher and it had a very bumpy ride.

Can thos Z1 motorsports UHP hatch struts be used with the original brackets???

nice build man. love those wheels. change ur front headlights to 06+

S-techs is a nice springs and will give you a sexy look if you do "rear mounts cut" & good for your streets in Lebanon! i am running them too.

there were rasp in the Fujitsubo coz u removed the resonator i think. i did the same mistake with the stock exhaust. removed the resonator and had rasp. till i change to Tanabi medallion.

That's what I am thinking. My Fujitsubo sounds great! Loud enough at WOT but quiet enough to not make police notice and sounds nothing like stock.

I have to second that as well, I have a Legalis as well and there is no rasp in low or high rpm range,

(I have an 07) Not sure if the HR engine makes a difference or not but I love the exhaust note,
I actually had a nismo s-tune before the fuji and I love the fuji sound the gurgle/burp is way more pronounced vs the nismo...

Not to mention the tips look awesome


back on topic;

love the car transformation
can you make a video with paddle shifters in action?

Thanks
