Lovin the shoes ICE. Gorgeous pics of the Z too.

 

Car is kinda dirty, but here is a recent pic after installed BC Racing Coilovers.

 

Looking good. How is the ride?

 

I really like it. I have it set to the factory setting which is about half way. Unlike some cars I have been in with just springs the ride is not bouncy. On a really rough road the ride can be harsh but this is expected. I haven't set it to softest yet to see how it compares to stock as a rough ride doesn't bother me much. Some people reported noise with these coilovers but they are only noisy if you hit a bad part of road. Has to be decently rough though. You can really feel the road in these, don't know how to explain it but there are streets that have small ripples in them like waves and you will feel those. Body roll seems to have been reduced a good amount, especially since I already had cusco sways on. This is the first time I have lowered/installed coilovers so can't compare to much.

 

just got these new wheels



Volk GTF - 19x9.5 front w/ 255/35/19 & 19x10.5 rear w/ 285x35x19. This fitment is perfectly flush but i'm having some negative in the rear due to lowering springs. Will get it fix soon though.

 

^^ Looking good! What wheels are those and specs?

 

Looking good *ICE*. First time I saw black wheels on an IF.

Hey jruocco, you're feeling a lot of the road because your settings are too stiff. I'm running my coilovers around 16 and the ride is close to OEM as can be despite being slammed. I've taken it through side roads and the freeway and it rides real nice and stiff on turns.

 

 

by far the cleanest pic yet sith, you outdid yourself, rims look fantastic!!!

 

Great pic! Color came out beautifully in it.

 

quick question...what is the major difference in brickyard and interlagos fire???

 

headlights!!!!!

 

don't forget front bumper and taillights! I've only seen one Brickyard up close and it was very dirty but seemed to be a more flat maroon color. Didn't seem have the bronze that IF does or the light purple look IF does in the sun.

 

Headlights? Front bumper and tail lights? LOL. Seriously though, Interlagos Fire and Brickyard are names of the color. Body parts have no influence on the name whatsoever. The body parts are different because the Brickyard is part of the Zenki model Z33 [03'-05' (first half of years on the Z33 chassis)] while the Interlagos Fire is part of the Kouki model of 350z's. Here's the break down:
__________________________________________

Interlagos Fire= color shift paint with bronze flakes
Brickyard= solid color with black flakes

 

so more purple it sounds like, my 03 is a brickyard...but from some of these pics, it's hard to tell. so the years are really the pinpointers...thanks guys...both are beautiful cars in my opinion

 

dude, this is a brickyard, it's what i have...among other things you can tell by the 03 track rims...

 

or if it's not a brickyard, why would you go back to 03 track rims...i know they look good, but the 06 rims of the IF look great the way they are

 

if you wanted to upgrade to nismo rims for your 06, this is how it's done!!!

 

Brickyard: only offered in 03' (zenki)
Interlagos Fire: only offered in 06' (kouki)

Both cars have similar base, but the difference is Interlagos Fire has a color shifting paint that will change depending on light strength. At some time, depending on the amount of light, it can "resemble" the brickyard however it still is a different color.

 

new pics. First time HDR and it didn't turn out like i was hoping to....
