-Stance GR+ True Coilovers
-SPC camber arms
-Battleversion toe arms
-Megan Racing Radius arms
-Greddy SE exhaust
-Volk GTS Mercury Silver
-Muteki lug nuts
-Falken 452 tires
-Veilside V1 c/f lip
-Fujita Short Ram Intake
-Aerosync c/f strut bar
-Cooling plate/ diversion panel (company slips my memory)
-Nismo floor mats
-Nismo c/f shift ****
-LED interior lights
-Window tints

A few days after I picked her up in July 2008...


Spacers, c/f strut bar, window tint and tail tints were the first mods (I took off the tail tints after a few days)

Evo-R c/f spoiler came next:

Finally I picked up some aftermarket wheels, 18"x10" +18 Work XD9's and some Tanabe DF210's for a drop.

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.

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

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!
Thanks guys!
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.

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
