Thanks guys.

The sideskirts actually do not lower your car more than a few millimeters. Its the effect of being lower. Ill try to get a nice close up of the bottom because I had these questions too and theres not much info on these sideskirts.

I dont think ill be removing the dip on the lip. Matte black makes the brembos stand out more too lol. I'll have them powdercoated the same color in a few weeks

 

Cool, look forward to some pics/measurements

 

since im new to the whole low and slow scene. Can anyone tell me how to jack up my car? I need to take the water out of my ballasts cause they both do not work right now

 

I've been using my OEM scissor jack since being low n slow. Sucks, but it's the only thing that has enough clearance.

 

Make some low profile plywood or (2"x6") ramps. That way you cant get a low profile jack in the front and at the pumpkin.

Nope scissor jack wouldnt fit either. I might have to do the wood blocks thing... damn being this low is kind of a pain but it looks soo good

 

Is anyone good with photoshop? Im getting a bigger brake kit and I want to see if I should paint them white to go against the black wheels. If anyone can take the last pic I posted and change the brembos to white?

 

here you go, white brembos

Sorry if it's not perfect, I'm just trying out my new drawing tablet

 

Thanks man. Hmm i dont rlly know how if I should do that lol. It looks okay imo. But I have been thinking about changing my car to Satin balloon white. Should that happen I think white bbk would really set it off.


Also I picked up a set of new headlights to work on. I have STI clear lenses, iron man mod, halo, and some different assortments. Anyone know what is the exact silicone sealant to use for sealing the lights up again?

 

Came across a great deal on a brand new set and couldnt resist haha

 

Finally installed my brakes!

They feel great but I get a bit of squeal from the race pads but I heard thats normal

 

Looks great! How big are the rotors?

 

356mm They look small in the picture for some reason lol

 

Last picture with everything I hoped to have on the car exterior wise except the front lip...

I decided to repaint the whole car as there were some scratches and one of the fender had a lot of rock chips I didnt like. Cant go for a real "show" car with a crappy nissan paint job lol. I already painted the front bumper and it looks good. I was gonna go blue but decided to do a different red from Lamborghini instead just to be different.

Ill install the front lip after the new paint. And I removed the dip on the lips. Might have to refinish the lips too...

 

Here is the aftermath of my DIY garage paint job That white streak on the bumper is the reflection of the clouds

I went with Rosso Andromeda with a hint of orange pearl.

 

Looking Good!!!

 

I like that splitter on z sides.

 

Nice build Teha99! I love that new paint color!

I have some questions for you; Are you still using the stock exhaust with your diffuser? Did you have to hack it up? I know you had mentioned using it with the HKS replica and not having issues, but since that was last year, it would've been on your other Z correct?

 

Sorry for the late reply been really busy with classes. Yes I am on stock exhaust with the current Z. I did not have to hack it up although it is a tight fit and took me and a buddy about 4hrs to fit it on since our big hands were not so user friendly.

A small update. Im in the middle of parting out my car. I have the HR ts cf hood for sale pickup in NJ. Bottomlines picked up NJ, diffuser is sold. Headlights are sold. My wheels are for sale also.

I am trading my Z straight for an 06 built STI

 

PM'd you...

IMO, nice move going to the STI. I love the 06-07 body style, and that car is a beast right out of the factory let alone fully built. Have fun with it and good luck!
