Great looking setup but now I want to see this all put together.

XM 1 07-01-2012 07:52 PM

well the only thing left to do now is the front bumper!!! hopefully the wheater is getting better this week so i can put it on......so stay tuned :)

XM 1 07-04-2012 10:35 PM

UPDATE:

so i installed everything else yesterday and test drove the car for about 30km.
the car sits now ultra low up front :D you have at least 8 cm of clearance (on stock 18" wheels).still need to fix up some parts but other than that the car is done for now.
and of course the installation of the front bumper didnīt went out the way i wanted it to!! i personally think that the fitment was way better before it was painted (but i could be wrong) and yes i scratched the front while driving of my ramps :D ....sucks but thatīs how it goes with tooooo low cars.
the oil cooler also works pretty good :D way too good....think to put something in front of the cooler to have it 50% covered so that the oil heats up a bit "better" right now with the cooler uncovered i had about 79-81°C of oil temperatur at 28°C ambient and driving for 12km not reving over 3k (the car stood now for about 1,5 year in the garage so i didnīt wanted to kick her at the first ride). i think iīll get some acrylic glass and cut it the way i need it to cover the half of the cooler. with this mod the oil should get hotter and i still have the hole oil cooler visible :D to show off this ARC beauty :D :D
well thatīs it for now, but as i already said iīll upload some pics later this day!!!!!

XM 1 07-04-2012 11:30 PM

well and here are the pics (not the best and without the GT-S):

i also have a INGīs LX sport wing laying around in my storage room, which i wansīt sure to install or not.......but i think the car will look more complete with the wing :)

XM 1 07-10-2012 09:17 AM

WOW. that is awesome..

did the Do-Luck owner say about about your INGS+1 stuff? hehe.

XM 1 07-10-2012 10:29 PM

nothing :D i wasn't there with the Z (because i didn't really had a chance to test the car for more than 30km......oil leaks etc., and i didn't want to go on a 600km ride with that in mind ;) ), but i think he was a bit pissed that he had to sign a ARC part :D, but i also had the impression that he was absolutly surprised someone wanted a autograph from him :D :D
what else is to say that the two guys are absolutly cool guys and really friendly!!!!
there was a RUF Porsche (as far as i understood a test car with a V8!!!!!) there and Mr Ito was really interested like a little boy :D he was nearly crawling in to the engine bay of the Porsche to see how RUF works :D i personally think this shows how much these japanese guys are into cars and "technologies" and these things are also reflected in their parts!!

Z looks great Jan!! Now you need to get the GTS' mounted and start on the other project. I think the 12 would be better than the 6 to be honest. Definitely not something you see everyday. If you need anything you know where to find me. Have fun and enjoy your toys man.

Regards,
Jeremiah

Hood looks good

XM 1 07-22-2012 10:13 PM

just the hood :( .... :D

@James: a V12 powered NA Supra would be awesome and insane at same moment :D :D, but def. worth doing it :) we'll see what the future brings ;)

sry110 07-23-2012 02:45 PM

Nice project! Aesthetically I think the front end needs something. Not sure what. Maybe '06+ headlights? Anyway keep up the good work...look forward to future updates.

Yes just the hood :icon39:

On a serious note, you have a lot of "race car" looks w/"non race car" styled wheels. Just by looking at what you have, you and I have similar tastes and I think a different wheel would do well for the exterior.

XM 1 07-23-2012 10:15 PM

i hear you :) been all the time thinking about getting a set of RE30s , but at the moment i really can't afford them :( and since the GT-S are discontinued (with these specs) i also don't want to sell them :( .....maybe in the future i'll buy some other rims......promised :D

2k6-z33 07-24-2012 01:47 PM

Love that hood! Looking into picking one up also once I order another Type-E front.. Car's looking good, but I personally like the look with canards..

XM 1 07-25-2012 07:34 AM

your Z is absolutly awesome!!!:) i really like your wheels are those +12 offsets?
yeah i would like to run the canards too i have them at home right now, but i canīt install them because itīs absolutly impossible to get them street legal here in germany.
if you need them just let me know i would really like to get rid of them ;)

sry110 07-25-2012 09:14 AM

Sorry to go off-topic, but: @ 2k6-z33, which side skirt add-ons are you running? Sort of looks like OEM Nismo edition color matched to your car?
