Default My 350Z Build



Wasn't sure where the best place for this would be so I decided to go with here.

Let's see where to start.

Goals:
A street car able to do pretty much anything while maintaining the OEM look, for the most part. I know it's not going to be easy and I'm pretty much dreaming but isn't that what it's really all about.

Upgrades:

Wheels and Tires:
Enkei RPF1s (Gunmetal) Front: 9.5x18+15 Rear: 10.5x18+15
BFG KDW2 Front: 275/35/18 Rear: 295/35/18
McGard Lug Nuts Black

Brakes:
Akebono BBK w/ 2Piece Front Rotors
Hawk HPS Pads
SS Brake Lines

Driveline:
Quaife LSD Differential
4.08 Gears
Nismo Diff Cover
SPL Diff Bushings
Avid Racing Trans Mount
RJM Cluch Pedal System <Still needs installed


Suspension:
Zeal Function X F-14k R-12k
Stillen Sway Bars Front and Rear
Whiteline Sway Bar Bushings
SPL PRO Front Endlinks
SPL PRO Rear Endlinks
SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links
SPL Titanium Rear Toe Links
SPL Eccentric Lock Out Bolts
SPL Titanium Rear Traction Links
SPL FKS Front Compression Rod Bushings
SPL FKS Front Lower Inner Arm Bushings
SPL FKS Front Lower Arm Shock Mount Bushings

Audio/Video
Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS
Magellan RoadMate 1700LM <Still Needs Installed
PLX Kiwi 2 Wifi and Dash Command
JBL MS-62C
ZenEnclosure Spacers
PPI p900.4
KnuKoncepts Kolossus Wiring

Performance:
K&N OEM Air Filters
Megan Racing Resonated Test Pipes
Titek Cel Fix Adapter

I saved performance for last because I am planning to go with an LS2 swap just as soon as I find get moved into my new place and find another vehicle.

You can see in the third picture the swirl marks in the paint I have tried to have this repaired with no luck and its worse on other places of the car so it went into paint on Monday. Ill get pictures when it's done. I also have the door panels out to work on the paint chipping on them.

Picture 4 is out at an autoX event this past weekend and yes I know I'm in the completely wrong class but thats what they told me to put on the car. I ended being moved to BSP which with the mods I have still isnt correct but what ever I just wanted to see how it would do and I need to get used to it. Lots of over steer. I wasn't trying to drift that corner but just decided to ride it out and actually turned a better time.
On to the Pictures:
