i dont think they specialize. its rebranded. Discontiuned for the 350z now. Same kit that they spec on g35 and r34 from greddy. Got a steal on the 8 front and 4 rears. Cheaper than a set of normal stoptechs and rotoras i think( at least cheaper than the msrp price for the 4 front systems from those companies) Ill post more pics as I come along tho :P

the greddy bbk is a rebranded rotora kit. prob worth $2750 cash +/- at this point
if perfect. i like your choice of stuffs, but you're gonna need to do something to tie
it all together.

keep working... not sure if this is a "teaser" per se, as much as a thread you've
created seeking to validate your work to date. what's been annoying exactly?

it's not as if you're recreating the wheel or trying to solve a mystery...

Paint, lower, drive. That's my recommendation.

tie what together? he has a bumper and black wheels. paint the bumper and get a black and red nismo sticker to match those wheels and it would be together.

and i think he is annoyed with the bumper like everyone is with these cars. apparently its hard to paint match them and they are unreasonably expensive to have done. does anyone think a new motor SHOULD cost less than a paintjob?

tie the look together - i.e. skirts, rears, paint, suspension.

and no cheesy nismo stickers.

I had my eye on getting those gold greddy grex about 1.5 years ago before I got rid of the Z...sooooo pricey though, I could never find them used.

It may be somewhat jealousy but gold bbk doesnt seem to go with your car...they should have been on mine

I agree with Gears suggestions but that would be another good 2-$3000 worth of mods...you should still do it.

thanks guys. And the price i got the 8/4 greddy kit for was around 3300 total for everything, brand new! Couldnt pass it up.

gears i guess ur right not really a teaser... just of what is to come eventually regarding the bumper.

I do have the amuse shine sides too... just didnt care to test fit them in the pics. Waiting on a few more aero parts before paint so I am just rocking the stock 03-05 front bumer for now. Gonna prolly go either full TS rear diffuser or TS middle + Nismo rear skirts. Also will prolly pick up an EVO-R blitz style rear spoiler and still deciding if I want to change out the mirrors or not. When I do paint I prolly will shave the rear wiper, rear emblem, side z emblem and antenna too.

Annoyed more so with some of the transactions Ive had on the site. Well more so just one. Prolly got screwed on the transaction but it was a lil bit of a misunderstanding. I just hope I can recoupe some of the cost.... otherwise im out a lot of money.

Gonna pick up a set of oem style stance GR+ pro's soon too. Kinda debating if I wanna drop the extra money at the same time for the spl mid link.... pretty sure i dont wanna go true coilover tho.. thought hard about it. Just doesnt make sense that Nissan wouldnt make it a true coilover system to begin with if there wasnt some issue they were worried about.

Oh yea i have a lame gaydm death cage too lying around... still not sure if i wanna keep it and install. Its a cusco 7 point btw. Besides those parts I just need the 06-08 led rear tailights to complete the look i want. And kinda debating if I wanna get the shine front diffuser. sometimes it looks a little TOO aggresive

After that stuff.... gonna start some go and and handling parts. Prolly starting with a LSD (quaife prolly) and sways. Still debating wat I wanna do performance wise. Kinda want to do HKS supercharger.... but prolly go vortech since it produces more hp. Would love to go TT but I wanna stay carb legal so I dont have to worry about BS.

elaborate on your neg experience w/ the site transaction.

i know you're trying to do a whole car here and it sounds like you're on the right track.
