thanks man

it is custom made but it is a production piece. styled after the LFA flat bottom steering wheel, the quality is 10/10. also has a steering dampener in it so no vibrations can be felt, feels solid


that's a hard question. i see why gtrs, bmws, exotics are all clutch automatics, you really do run better times, better downshifts with perfect blips. on the street, while another person manually shifts, they fall back one to two lengths, around turns and down shifts by the computer, no wearing out clutch or tranny(components), etc.

i drove the Z today , although i miss the Z period and not the manual tranny.
i can honestly say no i dont miss the manual. i use to be the guy that says autotragic as well, lol. but spirited driving by yourself on empty roads, manual is nice, as long as you have 200whp at least. damn im missing the Z the more i think about it.

 

Maybe I missed it but did you install your exhaust and headers yet?

That steering wheel is totally pimp. I love it.

Also, how many miles you have on it now?

 

my appointment with JE performance got canceled due to time off of work not working out. hopefully by march.

i customed ordered some BC coils with swift springs that should be here so im focusing on suspension in Feb and then headers in March. that's the game plan.

38k miles, creeping on 40. i can't stop driving this thing.

 

Nice, So how is that Apexi controller working for you? Any issues? Still having great gas mileage?

 

its working with no issues whatsoever. it makes such a big difference that i made so many locals a believer. for people who doubt it, prob never used it. but i use it for the better response more than saving gas though

gas mileage is great for the size of the engine. that's why its hard not to drive the thing.


btw, sold the Z today i feel empty now.

 

Sad day man. Your Z was probably my #1 inspiration when attempting to build mine. But I have to say I am also considering selling mine....it just sits there in the garage except for a few days each month, costing me insurance premium, while I take the faster and more convenient daily driver out to go everywhere. We'll see. I can imagine it will be super tough to let it go, as you are finding out.

 

yeah it was. thanks man, it means a lot. ever since i got key, i just knew i would lose interest. i would poured about 15k in the engine, another 5k for paint and 4k for wheels to be happy again.

im sure 2004black350z will make it the way it was suppose to be driven.

the driver feel of the Z was amazing to say the least.

 

stop posting pics! you're making me want one.

 

nice to see you living it up

but i can't say i'm a fan of these cars

or those exhaust pipes

 

hehe, i'll keep posting pics then



thanks man. yeah , its either a love or hate thing. i was never a fan of the fake tips until i found out these cars have the same one. made me feel better about it lol. a lot of cars use this concept nowadays.

thanks man, i appreciate that.




After waiting for a month, finally got these babies in. Custom Swift springs with rates of 14k/10k.

 

You have a modding problem. Consult your local therapist.

 

i do. i ordered those PPE longtubes as well. its currently being made, another 3 weeks b!TCH. we can be PPE bros.

 

looks good man.. jay is that your new z thats parked outside of merchants all the time now?

 

Haha

And yes. It's out there now bc I got the trans swapped. As soon as my motordyne box gets to my house puttin on a few things then off to CIN we go

 

next time you talk to the people at CIN, can you ask if they ever work on the F and headers? dont feel like driving to maryland for install at JE peformance.

when are your headers going to be here?

 

Always exciting getting new parts, good combination on the suspension. After looking at your car again it's making me really want to paint the Z the same blue. Can't wait to see what else is in store.

 

Looks good...those yellow 'fogs' are atrocious...to each his own

 

thanks man. ive seen a couple of cars using this blue. here are a couple of examples.







thanks. i felt lexus were the pioneers to use the yellow fogs, just keeping a tradition alive.
