Nice, do you have any other shots with the GTS' to show the fitment of the wheels?

 

I just put some up from today

 

Looks good... I've never been a fan of the V1 wing though.

 

Meh, It's a love/hate relationship with me and the V1 wing.

I want to get sides and rears to make the wing flow more, but at the same time I love the stock lines on the z when it's lowered and don't want to mess with perfection.

 

Car looks great!

Only gripe is the one nostril! You have an HR, why not get the other intake duct piece? I doubt it makes a difference.

 

wow looks damn good man. what size spacers did you have on the stocks? still got them? interested in selling?

 

So sexy!!! Subscribed!!! (Why only one intake duct btw? Let it breathe!!!)

 

Also, any more pics of that greddy muffler?

 

Looks great, always love the GTS

 

I totally understand... I have a V3 and I like it sometimes.

 

Beautiful Z!! Keep up the good work.

 

Very nice bro! that last pic has the best background and you have her soooooo shiny lol. Looking clean bro! Look forward to finally meeting you at some meets

 

I honestly purchased the Titek air duct for astethics back in the day, at that time a single was ~$60 while the double ducts, which were new, cost about $250. I'll have to check if prices went downsince then.

As far as the actual effectiveness of the air duct... I won't claim any butt-dyno gains but I will say this; on cold mornings when there is ice on the hood, the side with the duck keeps ice much londer than the other side. Take that for whatever you will.

Thanks guys!

 

I like it, looking good

 

Dang, that greddy exhaust looks really good! Gonna get that for my mom's z...Also, what size tires are on the volks? (Sorry if I missed that somewhere...) Also, since you have short ram intakes on your HR, I guarantee that they will make a difference. Its shooting fresh, cold air directly into your intakes vs not so cold air into your intakes...

 

The SE is perfect IMO. It maintains the sexy VQ exhaust note and makes it even nicer.

The Volks are 19"x10.5" +18 front with a 255/35 tire and 19"x10.5" -2 rear with a 265/30

Next tire change I might go with 265/35f and 275-285/35 rear
