nismo emblem or autech?

Autech

Went to the dealer today and got a new thermostat drive belt and radiator hoses since the car was already torn down. The belt was a pain to put on since is was new. Other than that the rest was pretty easy.

Sucks when you have to pinch your mod funds for maintenance work
Hope you get it up and running quickly bro

Wing looks dope btw

I know it sucks not to be able to drive my z. Good news today!, my mishimoto radiator is finally here!! This thing is packed like if it was a pc motherboard, great quality and craftsmanship by mishimoto.

Too bad there's a nasty thunderstorm going through my area I want to install this already.

Finally got the car running. I gotta say the car runs better than before. The temp gauge stays at 1/4 before it used to run at 1/2. I'm really impressed with it, everything fit how it supposed to even with its significantly thicker radiator core. I replac3d the hoses with better clamps. The older clamps where loosing its clamping forces and the hoses seemed pretty crusty from the inside. I also took advantage of the car being dismantled and bought new ffront fender liners to freshen the car up a bit alo g with a nice detail on the areas you normaly cant get to. I greased up the front suspension and wiped down the undercarriage. I think maintenance wise Ive done everything to the car except spark plugs. Anyways this set me back about a month of mod funds so I will be visiting bodyshop by the end of the month. For now I'll mount the v3 spoiler.

well done kno!! i hate it when you have to repair stuff instead of mod your car :D, but it happens :( need to replace both rear upper control arms on my Supra -> 1100 $ only on parts! i feel with you bro ;)

Yes it sucks but this made me realize my car is no longer new. I bought it with 13 mIles and it's always been my first new car. Like a parent I always seen my car as my baby (new car) but after this past week I noticed she's not new any longer. :/

lol noticed this too :D :D even although she only has around 15k miles on the odo :P and is about 10 years old now :( .....i should really drive more with my garage queen :D :D . i guess as long as it's nothing major it should be fine.

Could you say the vendor in Japan?

Pm'd

In for the awesomeness!
Super clean car.

Lol thanks dude. :thumbup:

I finally had the balls to drill into my hatch this afternoon. Omg I was so nervous

looking good kno!!!! now put on the nisma rear and you're done ;)

Bro I want to so bad I just finished putting silicone on the bolt holes. After i fi ished I placed the bumper right next to the car. Look at it... its calling my name lol, it's so tempting.
Attachment 391153

can you provide a brief review of that spoiler? quality/fitment/brand?

Oh no.... guess I haven't been following closely enough but.... you're changing out that sweet Chargespeed for a Nemo?? Hmmm.... KNO, lots people know that I'm not into body stuff (despite owning a Niz with all the aero junk on it :icon17:) but that Chargespeed is the ONLY non-stock bumper I've actually liked enough to price out as a fix for the scuffed up stocker I have.

I mean, the Nemo rearend is fine but I like your car for the subtleness as it stands. But that's just me. I'm sure the Niz rear will look fine, and will still be the most awesome Solar Orange runner on here! Have fun with it!!

Mic

I bought it off a member here a couple of years ago. Im not sure of the brand but the quality of the spoiler, however, it's as good as it gets. Everything fitted perfectly without any gaps or modifications what so ever. It requires about 8 bolts and double sided tape to attach. I only put 4 on specific points where I think the most stress will apply up on it. Because of that and the lack of adhesiveness of the tape yet it rattles a little when I slam my trunk shut. It doesn't have that solid thump but that should, but it will change once I get its painted and remove the red strip off the double sided tape.


You're absolutely right mic the chaeggs peed is a more subtle and elegant design for the 350z. It follows the existing body lines or the zed. However Ive had that same bumper for about 7 years now and I want a change. I always like the way the nismo 350 looked but it was really hard to get ahold of their parts without paying a hefty bill on them. Now that the parts are more available, I took advantage of the chance to make the dream zed I always wanted. I know most people will say, but why don't you just buy a 350z nismo instead?.:icon6: Well the answer is simple. My car is paid off debt free and I'm the original owner. :thumbup: my next zed however (crossing my fingers that's tt and a zx) will be a nismo. :icon21: but till then I'll keep modding my sexy solar orange .

Well good to hear the spoiler worked out. I bought a replica ings and quality was just pure garbage. Knew it was a risk though. After that, it was between the evo-r blitz or a V3 replica but ended up going with the blitz cause I didn't wanna risk the same with the V3.
I'll be pairing it w/ the TS style diffuser on the way.

The nismo rear should look good on yours though. That rear and the V3 are a match made in heaven.

There is so much win in this picture.:icon21:

Do it, do it, do it :thumbup:. this will look soooo sick from behind once it's installed! :cool:

I know dude trust me lol


Gave her a nice polish yesterday and of course I took some pics :D

Looks amazing!

That wing 1 piece?

Thanks dude, it's a 3 piece.


So I was thinking on how to paint the spoiler and the rest of the k11 pieces which include the darker part of the front/ rear bumpers and side skirts. I wanted to paint all those pieces in the k11 color which is the oem gray paint it comes painted or should I repaint it gloss black? I wanted to go to the oem route. How about the wing? Should I do it black to match the roof and mirrors or solar orange? Maybe I can paint everything that's black k11 but the roof? So many options that I've been comtemplating. I need your help on this I can't seem to make up my mind on something lol

Orange base black blade?

I think the K11 is a really sharp color but you have the black roof?

If it were my car I would sell the rear bumper to a local NA&CH and then paint the oem k11 color leave the black roof :D :o ;)

Chris

Here what I did to my MCR blade(a little deeper pocket had clear lines)

Attachment 391066

Chris

:yum:

i thought i read somewhere that it was KH2 instead of K11...?

Lol. You know nismo white 385 is wanting a chargespeed bumper. I think he's willing to trade but I don't need a v3 rear anymore. AND you have a broski that doesn't need a chargespeed bumper anymore :D mm mm? Lol

I'm digging the idea of your mcr wing, I can do that in orange with the middle top part k11.

:thumbup::icon21:

I believe it's k11. I even bought a touch up paint from the dealer in that color :p

:datass::datass::fyeah:That fitment
Attachment 391045

stop teasing!!!! :icon21::icon21::icon21::icon21: install that rear bumper damn it :icon22:
jk :thumbup:

car looks really clean and nice!:cool:

No Chris, not gonna happen. kno promised to donate the Chargespeed to the "Keep Mic's '03 Happy" fund.

Shipping included. :icon39:;):icon17:

Seriously cool. Really added dimension to the all-white wing. That's one of the things I don't care much for on my wife's Z34N... but trimming out a stock "V4" wing would detract even more.

But ya, good job.

No no, it's "Age before beauty", or, in my case, "Age and beauty before all others."

snort snort..... :icon39:

Gimme dat bumpuh Pumpkin Z-Man!! Baby needs new shooz, er, diaper! :icon30:

Word.

I need my new bumpuh.

Mic your hilarious. If you want it that bad maybe chris can ship it To ya on z days, but that's a long way from now :/ .

Here this should hold you for a while hehe. :gotowned:

This one is for you bro. I even put a dab on the bumper so you see the resemblance. Perfect match :thumbup:
Attachment 390936

So, kno, you DO have my shipping address, right? Please pack the bumper tightly, I don't want anything to happen to it because I want to use that sweet Solar Orange as a contrasting highlight on my chrome silver '03. But then again, if I put it on my black '08, I could use the car on Halloween.
