Exhaust Polished Before/After




Wheels on!




I'm loving em!

 

OEM paddle shifters off a JDM 350GT-8 installed!

 

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.

 

Holy ****. Thats slick. Keep going man!

 

damn! looks great. really diggin the carbon badges and wheels. just need these and you got it.

 

Very clean. Well done.

 

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.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

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.

I want those wheels. Badly.

Those are really the only wheels I want.

 

Very nice, would love to have those in my Z.

 

I was going to go with varrs but then i said hey why not get these genuine forged rays wheels and that was a great decision.

 

Yes it was.

 

Mabrook with the new parts man!
I've lovin that paddleshift setup! Care to share where can we get those from?

 

Looking good

 

I have a Fujitsubo Legalis exhaust and I have no rasp at all... not sure where you were getting yours from.

 

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
