Default Some Northeast Nissan Love

I have not posted pictures on this forum since I sold my Z in 2008 (an old thread: https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...ce-nissan.html), but this weekend I was fortunate enough to catch up with a few local enthusiasts to get a few pictures. Enjoy.

*EDIT* A few updated pictures of black G on post #28... *EDIT*

No. Don't worry. Mike's Z is still intact, but he didn't drive it on this day...

Thanks, guys. The white GT-R could have used a bath (and it would have been nice to have Mike's Z around for some pictures, too) but it was still a good impromptu photo shoot.

Yes, Waizz, the black G on Advans is my car.

That's too bad. I wish you had stayed. I feel like a bunch of Z's and G's came by for a minute but once they saw there weren't many other Nissans, they left. If everyone had stayed, we actually would have had a decent VQ turn-out. Oh well... The event was a success. We did some good things. We're hoping to try to make this an annual thing.

Yeah, definitely some similar parts, but subtle differences...

I'm about 25 minutes south of Boston.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

As for the wheel specs... The suspension is the aspect of this car into which I have put the most work. Coming from a Z, my biggest "complaint" about the G was the handling. Although it was hardly bad, I wanted more. I wanted a tighter, more responsive ride. I am very happy with the results I have obtained thus far.

(I have another modification coming within the next few weeks about which I am very excited. I am, however, awaiting on some parts to arrive from Japan before I can make it work... )

Anyway, here is my suspension parts list:

1) Advan RS-D [20x9.0" (+25) Front; 20x10.5" (+35) Rear]
2) Yokohama S.drive XL (245/35/20 Front; 275/30/20 Rear)
3) Stop-Tech Big Brake Kit (6 Piston 380x32MM Drilled Rotors - Front;
4 Piston 355x32MM Drilled Rotors - Rear)
4) Tein Flex Coilovers w/ EDFC Technology
5) Stillen Sway Bars
6) GT Spec Front Strut Brace
7) GT Spec Front 4 Point Ladder Brace
8) GT Spec Front 2 Points Subframe Reinforcement Brace
9) GT Spec Rear Lower Lateral Reinforcement Brace
10) GT Spec 6 Points Rear Subframe Brace
11) GT Spec Rear Lower Tie Brace

A couple (poor quality) pictures from under the car:





*And, yes, I realize some will suggest it pointless to powdercoat the GT Spec parts. I decided to do it anyway. *
