Alvin, as always, you're car is gorgeous, and the pics look great.
Did it have a leak when you sold it to him, and needed to be hung by chicken wire?

Not at all . It was just a little sooty, since I don't really have a place to detail my car.

solidsnake - Thanks bro! I like both the USDM and JDM sides, they're similar but they give the car a much different look.

MethodRN - Thanks bro! What can I say it's like you + your LE-37s, I just can't see your car without them. And if you ever switch them out I'd imagine it would be for something ridiculous siiick - they're hard to beat on your ride

JAMEZ - :P I miss the Nismo a lot bro, it was a great exhaust and it cleaned up nicely! It was a bit dirty but definitely shiny after a few coats of Mothers Metal Polish

ni$mo350 - it's funny you say that bro cause I LOVE PPW! I think you were trying to trade someone for DB but trust me, PPW is just as siiick! So you should keep it I can't get enough of seeing a PPW at night under the light or in sunshine - the pearl flakes just comes out so nicely.

Thanks to everyone else for their compliments, I'll try to get some pics of the 12 sets of wheels. Some of them I only had for like a couple days so I might not have pics of them all but they are:

1. OEM 17" Bridgestone Potenza RE040
2. OEM 18" Touring Bridgestone Potenza RE040
3. Grand Touring RAYS Engineering 18"F 19"R Bridgestone Potenza RE050
4. OEM 19" G35 Coupe RAYS Engineering Bridgestone Potenza RE050
5. SSR GT-2 19x9 +33 & 19x10.5 +44 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 255/35/19 & 275/35/19
6. Volk GT-S 19x9.5+28 19x10.5+30 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 275/35/19
7. Nismo LMGT 19x8.5 +25 19x9.5 +30 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 275/35/19
8. Volk SF-Challenge 19x9.5+23 19x10.5+24 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 245/35/19 & 275/35/19
9. Volk GT-S 19x9.5+17 19x10.5+18 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 275/35/19
10. Volk TE-37 19x9.5+20 19x10.5+20 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 275/35/19
11. Work Meister S1 19x9.5+24 19x11+29 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 285/35/19
12. Work Meister S1 19x9.5+24 19x11+17 Toyo Proxes T1R 245/35/19 & 285/35/19

I got a few pics I uploaded on photobucket for now

The SF-Challenges are my favourite. Black on Blue is very hard to beat!

Thanks bro! It's funny you say that, sad to say but I will be getting rid of GB LE37s in a little while.........



BTW, I think your current set-up is my favorite out of the different stages you've gone through.

Loved it when Natalie was wearing the GT-S but the meister are sexy too how can you say no to thoses lips.

Guess you went with the HKS exhaust instead of the EvoTT....either one is good, tough choice.

Very true but I'm scared to color match PPW and I hate spending 3 hours detailing just to drive down the street and see the rear pummled with dirt...

haha...trust me, Daytona Blue is just .0001% short of black - everything shows up on it! I didn't buy a black Z because it would be hard to take care of but damn I may as well have haha.

One more pic for you guys

Haha yeah bro, mine has parts of probly 20+ other Zs on this forum. Thanks to Marketplace for helping everyone getting the parts they want

haha I wish bro. I am a College Student at the University of Washington. Paying for the car, rent, insurance, tuition, and everything else sucks but it's do-able. I was lucky enough to have a decent job to be able to pay for it all but it also means less play time and buying used parts instead of brand new stuff Little bit of time, help, and friends got the car to where she is today. Definitely couldn't have done it all myself so thanks to everyone along the way!
