Very nice build. I have to say that I prefer the V2 front end over the V3, but I can appreciate your desire to change things up. Actually I think if the car was a bit lower, a bit raked forward, the V3 front end would really look great.

Thanks, yeah I had a good run with the V2 but I always wanted to go V3

I would not want to go any lower, any lower than what I am would not be functional for me. At this point everything is dailed in exactly as I want it

What if I sent you a check for $50k and you send me back the difference via Western Union?

Very very nicely done. I like the color scheme and choice of exterior parts.

Congrats on achieving your goal. Your car looks great and is an inspiration to others on how to tastefully mod a Z.

Well done my friend! Speed safely.

At this point until I get my R35 I have no interest in selling this car

Thank you, I tried to keep a recurring theme with the color scheme even though people doubted that it would look good at first.

That's the key, it's tastefully modded

Definitely a build that's inspired me. Your car looks super clean and I'm hoping I can achieve something similar, however of course with my own style added. Maybe I'll spot you around SoCal sometime.

Update - 1 month in and driving a few days every week and I have yet to scrape the front bumper anywhere.

With my V2 I literally couldn't drive down my street without it scraping the front lip section so this new setup really is the ideal setup for me

one of my theories is the original nismo v3's front undertray designs and the hump in the center of the front bumper.. its actually to allow more airflow under the car so that the flat undertray in the front accelerates the air toward the rear of the car so the v3's rear bumper/diffuser works better...

That's actually something I noticed vs the POS OEM bumper I was forced to run for awhile. At speed this bumper plus canards definitely feels more planted vs the OEM but doesn't feel anymore planted than the V2

I just want to enjoy the car as is, not dropping $1 into it unless it's related to maintenance

With all of the issues you had to overcome, you should be the first person telling me not to go FI

Call me crazy, as my car sits it has more than enough power for me purposes

Considering how many forums you're on this means more to me coming from you since you know your stuff Irving

Thank you!

All good about the spoiler, I know it's very polarizing for most. Either they love it or hate it but I have always wanted one on my car and it fits my style perfectly
