Thanks for the comments guys. The drop is with Tanabe GF210 and here is a link to the antenna I have.
http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...8b6c3988612913
The wheels are 19x9, 19x10.5 Racing Hart R5 Pro Series with Pirelli P Zero Rossos, 245/35 and 275/35.
What are my plans for the car? Hmmm, there are a lot more mods on the way. Ive had the car for almost a month now and Ive already done so much to it. Considering the car is my daily driver, I am tuning it mildly. No crazy bodykits(more conservative and functional), no crazy stero system, no FI. My goal is to hit 280-300 WHP naturally aspirated and I think that is a very respectable number for an NA powered Z. 280WHP is definitely achievable with the new 300HP high rev motor.

nice car! nice choice of mods.. congrats, it looks great.
I'm sure it is achievable with the new engine.. but once you change out the bottom plenum and the cams, what else is there that would help you get to 280-300whp compared the 287hp engine? Aren't the heads and the shortblock the same? Does the extra variable exhaust valve timing help that much?
I would think you'd need to use aftermarket cams anyway even with the 300hp motor to get to 280whp.

Looking good Andy. You guys installed the Nismo S-tune Suspension and Sway bars on my SS track this past Saturday. (I was the guy who asked you about the clear sidemarkers.) Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks, i'm really enjoying the upgrade.

Thanks for the comments guys. Sr. Panza, Im glad youre enjoying the suspension, hopefully we'll see you soon for some more upgrading.
I love how the Brembos reflect off of the polished lip, a thing of beauty.
