Here are a few pics of my roadster....

 

Nismon,

Roadster looks great! What wing is that you have on there????

 

+1

 

Thanks for the compliments.

The spoiler, like the coilpacks, is Central 20 from Japan.

 

how much did you pay for that spoiler?

 

The spoiler would probably run around $500 give or take. I got mine from Scott Performance in Santa Clara.

 

Nismon,

Very nice ride. I am having the GReddy TT kit installed this weekend along with a new fuel system, highflow cats, ATS twin- plate clutch and some other goodies. I think I might even be able to get my TEIN CS w/EDFC suspension installed within the next week too..

Have you lowered yours ? If so how much.. I have 19' Volk GT-7's and am thinking of lowering 0.5 - 1.0.. with the new TEIN setup. Just not sure if I will have any clearance issues. Especially if I decide to go with the Vizage body kit.

I really like the rear spoiler and the BBK. Those are StopTech's 14' front and 13' back correct? How do you like them, do they have a better feel then the OEM? Any issues with the ABS acting up? I am thinking about getting the AP racing 14f/13r myself but so expensive.

Thanks for posting the pics and answering any questions

oh, they are central 20 spoiler then. Darn, he quote me $1200 for that spoiler.

 

Thanks for the compliments, Brent.

Sounds like you're building quite the monster as well. My Z's running on Nismo springs and shocks (~.75"), and no rubbing on the fender wells thus far. I would say be cautious with bodykits and extreme lowering. I rode in a Z with a V1 lip and coilovers, and that thing was scraping everywhere, even over mild bumps on the street. It's a fine line between getting the right stance and retaining functionality on these Z's.

As for brakes, you guessed correct. Initially, I had ordered the 355 kit in the back with the 4 pots, but they wouldn't clear my SP1's. I compromised, and managed the billet 2 pots on the 328mm rotor with a 5 mil spacer. Overall, the pedal feel is almost the same, and I like them alot compared to the stockers.

I'm looking forward to track day August 6th at Infineon Raceway, so I'll really get to see what this thing does.

 

$1200? Don't know what to say about that, but probably figure that I have purchased "alot" of components from Scott Performance, and some of the costs may have been absorbed by the overall project as well as shipment of other jdm components. Well, I'm happy with it, and a spoiler specifically for the roadster is rare. I'm extremely happy by how it test fit before going to paint, and how it looks almost oem, but not quite.

 

Yea, I am working on mine, not sure how far I will go.... at least until the money starts to get too tight

The TEIN setup is supposed to be around .5 - .8 so I will see where that takes me before I decided on the body kit. I unfortunately have to deal with speed bumps also, so have to be very careful. The Vizage front will probably be too low

Glad you like your brakes so much. Let us know what you think after the track day. I am trying to decide on the Wilwood or AP kits. Will see when the time comes what I decide.

Thanks for the info and enjoy your summer...

Got my car back today.... the Greddy TT is putting some AWESOME power to the wheels and rides really nice.

The ATS clutch feels pretty much like stock liking it a lot. I Tein CS feels pretty good, a bit bouncy at first but I have to get it aligned and start tuning in the suspension with the EDFC this weekend. Over all the power is butt planting and exhilarating... I will post some pics later of the mods and interior.

A feast for the eyes...

 

Hello!

Dang, that spoiler is NICE. I like better than my spoilerdepot spoiler. How is it attached? Is it just stuck on with 3m or did they have to drill holes? I don't want anything too permanent that I can't return the car back to stock if I ever sell...

Who did the paint match in town? It looks pretty good. I might be going w/the Stillen hood so I need a good body work shop in town. I've seen the worst paint matches on Silverstone--seems to be hard to get right....

 

Thanks for the compliments. The spoiler's attached with 3M tape, and it's on pretty well. I can open the trunk by lifting with the spoiler no prob.

As for the paint, it was done by Works Auto Body in Santa Clara. Ted at SP sends them bodywork paint and repair biz, including his other projects such as Lambo/Ferrari touchups.

 

How low did you dropped your z ?

 

I'm running Nismo S-Tune, so it lowers about .75" give or take (20mm).

 

 

Damn man that car is Gleaming!!!!

What wax are you using????
