Just coming home from work yesterday around 11pm and one of my many well small list of items left for the Z have come in. These will sit very nice with my wheels. Got to love the attention to detail. These lug nuts just look so good you don't even want to put them on haha. Plus they offer the added security with every lug nut being round where no socket can be tapped into place and used to turn the locking nut and Every lug nut having a hex on top that must be removed before you can access the actual part where you can use the locking key to remove the lugs from The wheel. Got to love Volk racing! And I chose (RED) because Nismo. But you knew that haha..
Hey guys. Just to give you an update. Will be throwing up some more pics as I get closer and receive more parts for the Z. Getting my wheels painted will pick them up within a day or 2 on my day off. Will post pics and reveal those at a later time. Spacers ordered to bring the wheel completely flush with the stardast fender. Titanium bolts are also shipped and will be headed to me sometime this week. pics will be up when they arrive.

Titanium bolts are here!!!! These things look amazing only way to hold up those Nismo stardast fenders in place in style. Just waiting on spacers now..........wheel are still in for paint will reveal those at a later time. So far everything part wise is about 95% here. Almost their. 😁
The next few days I will be taken the time to address some mechanical things and suspension related stuff before I put on these new wheels on for my final test fit with spacers.compresion arm bushing are pretty much shot causing a little to much toe in the front passenger wheel so I will break out the milwuakee impact wrench and replace the bushings myself this weekend and have the toe kicked back in place
Just picked up this nice OEM style carbon fiber roof cap for the Z. Should fit nicely with my other carbon fiber accent pieces. Will update Ya guys as I get more parts in. I got this for a deal and was debating weather I go with a gloss vinly or carbon fiber vinyl. Well I tossed that out the window and got the real deal. All existing molding on the car will be replaced within a week or so. Can't have new paint and cracked dusty molding now haha......

Ha you and me both. Replacing all the molding is my next hurdle. That dam A pillar molding.
roof cap is really nice.
might be worth a shot on the molding first since you plan to replace anyway...mine was really bad and looked like it had a disease.
I tape off all the glass and painted edges and then sanded the molding down with a semi-coarse steel wool to get the bulk of grime and buildup off then used the finest grade steel wool to finish it off. not as glossy as oem, ended up satin/matte finish but overall the end result is great and I am very happy with it.
Vex got any pics of your molding. But my molding towards the end of the A pillar that shoots down towards the window shield that leads to the engine is pretty much missing and cracked in some parts. The roof portion is ok just dried up and starting to crack. Man I wish nissan made this molding part separate but you have to buy a complelty new A pillar. Hate to spend 600 bucks on new a pillars but I do want to get the z done righ the first time especially since everything will be off the car for paint.
I had on my old phone but it crashed. I will double check my backup on my pc when I get home.
Might be worth checking a salvage yard or there was a vendor in the marketplace that parted out wrecked Zs, Slidegood, they would create a thread and you message them what part you need etc. They also have a website
The stardast build is still a go! been caught up with work and school. Spacers came in and huge shout out to Motorsport tech for making them for me. Great place to get custom size spacers in the US without any long wait times. Did a test fit with my wheels and All I can say is daaaaaaaaaaaaaam. Wide body life is where its at haha. Will have to iron out some mechanical issues nearly done with that. Compresion arms are changed so the wheel no longer has a toe issue. Will have to get a big alignment once done but here is a teaser pic. Moulding should be here Friday-saturday. Will update Ya as I go! Masking tap overload 👌
In for the party, what size and offset wheels do people run with these kits? I towed a x6 yesterday and that bastard had 315s in back thats aa wide *** tire.
