For a while I've been thinking about making one of these threads, and today i finally did.. Here I will share everything that i have and am doing to my 350z. Well to start I purchased her on August 12th 2012! Base model that had 40k miles. 6mt, Clean title, etc.. Very nice, still smelled new on the inside.
first few pics i took right when i pulled in the driveway from the 10hour round trip to get her:
I had already purchased a few things before i even bought the car.. lol.
Stillen Gen2 Intakes
Nismo Chrome Shift ****
Buddy of mine sold me his used Stillen y pipe and megan single exhaust:
I then took her to the local 1/8 track a week or two later for the first time.
It was my first time ever drag racing a manual transmission car and i only managed to get a 8.9 with a terrible 60' .. the open diff was doing nothing for me
I then found a good deal on a nismo v2 front bumper/side skirts on craigslist so i went and picked that up
Test fitting
Got some used Tanabe Gf210 springs and some 20/25mm spacers (no pic)
Then ordered some Berk technology test pipes, had a oem limited slip installed, and had it re-tuned!
thanks guys.. next few things that are being done:
-Headlights painted black by a friend (same guy who wrapped my roof)
-d2 coilovers within a week or two
-sbc stage 2 clutch and flywheel (within the next month or two)
-zspeed heavy duty csc
edit- thought i might add she is now creeping on 54k miles. yes i drive the **** out of this thing. need to get a dd soon.

you're right! NC not SC. my fault. and yeah, it's my step father house. he has all the tools you'll need for working on a car including a lift now so we always go over there for installs and stuff.
Nice progress so far! You may not want to hear this, but I think it looked better with the OEM 5-spokes on there. IMO those stock wheels look great with the V2 kit.
good progress along the way man, any plans for coils in the future?
yep couple posts up i mentioned theres a guy an hour away from me selling some d2 coilovers that i will hopefully be picking up!

yeah you're the 2nd person who has told me that! i agree i love how the stock wheels looked, but i think it was more the color. in a couple other threads ive tried to get opinions on how they think the silver te37 reps would look vs the black. some said keep the black then some said go silver. so i dont know!. another thing is i don't really like running large spacers.. anyways, thanks though!
