onto interior pics as requested:

Yes, one of these days I might go for better seats + Personal steering wheels when the time comes that I lose my mind again. Maybe a set of temp gauges too.


I just installed the Takeda CAI to replace my old JWT but this looks pretty much it... nothing fancy really


Custom painted the centre console because of the cheap-*ss coating Nissan used. They easily peel. Pretty outdated pic but gives you the idea. Only change done here is the stereo head unit. Nothing more.



I love to listen to loud music - from Alterbridge, to Flo-Rida LOL.

Weighs almost 12kg. Can be removed in 30mins. In exchange, I needed to get rid of my spare wheel.

lol Yes it's an Auto... one of the biggest mistakes i've ever made. But no drama, I moved on and carried on with making the Z serve its purpose. Fun as hell anyways, especially when driven hard. I love it.

It would be easy to swap out to the 6 speed one day! Regardless you have a clean Z!

Bumping this one up!

Here's my Z in action.
Placed third in RWD Category (out of 11 cars)
Placed 7 overall (total of 31 cars)

Not bad for a heavy-booty Z on street tyres.
More seat time + camber adjustments and I would probably kick some more a55es.

The event was covered by James Davison of Crank & Piston

Full coverage can be found here:

Onto pics...

well, we have open drag days, but mostly its too crouded.

we have open track days, but its pretty expansive. we have to pay around 60 BD (600Dirhams) for only half a day, and a guest should pay 10BD (100Dirhams). and its only one day each month, from november to april.

GTZ is a good club, ur lucky guyz for arranging such events.

Yea, just about the same rate we get here.

Actually this event wasn't organized by GTZ, it's by another major club. I was the only VQ in that event lol.

GTZ has booked Yas Drag strip on Dec (forgot the exact date). It's gonna be one huge event. You should try to come, as MEGTROC will be participating as well.
