I have owned my Z for the last 7+ years and have really learned so much from building it into what you see today. Not only have I made a bunch of friends I have also really enjoyed driving this car and look forward to keeping it for as long as I possibly can.

With that being said, I can now safely say that I have achieved everything I could have wanted for this car and can now say that my build is done.

My overall theme is more of a grand touring car which I an enjoy on the weekends but still be able to handle an occasional canyon run

Enjoy the pics and I will list the entire spec sheet at the end of the post

Starting out with what I always have thought was my favorite angle of my car, it shows off all of the modifications and highlight the rear end



Side profile shot showing my new NISMO V3 style front bumper with V2 canards. I was trying to get the flags to both be showing but gave up lol



The new front bumper is by far the longest bumper I have ever run but it is surprisingly not that low at all which helps for me



Closeup of the front bumper with the canards placed in a similar location that my V2 bumper utilized, I also opted to run a front emblem to allow for definition



My buddies at Mardikian Automotive also gave the car a nice polish so the paint looks really good even for a 9+ year old car



The Potenza RE760's tires are more wide than they are tall so fender clearance is the best on any tire I have run



5 years ago this month I bought my wheels and had them painted, I go out of my way for them to look like this and it tells you that hand washing really pays off



This has also been a favorite angle of mine, shows off my tucked rear bumper and GT-Spec rear tire bar



I love this spoiler even though alot of others don't. You need to have a full exterior to pull it off IMO



You can see my black and silver theme throughout the car, including my emblems



Still plenty of clearance with the rear wheels, mmm shiny!



You can definitely tell this is a much more daily-driver friendly setup, defintely wider than any other setup I have run too



I love this photo, sun was setting and it really shows off the Silverstone

That is 1 clean Z33. Congrats man, she's a beauty. You say you're done, but there is always something down the road you'll want to add. It's an addiction being a car enthusiast.

+1 you are never done lol. I also like the v2 front instead of the 3, flow better with your sides IMO. Beautiful car none the less!

Thanks Rick.

For once since I have owned this car there is nothing that I am actively looking for. Other than detailing some areas here and there and general maintenance I can honestly say as long as nothing breaks I am not changing a thing.

Thanks!

Thanks, but I am honestly done

I had the V2 for about 3 years and really enjoyed it but when I damaged it beyond repair I wanted to do something different so I went V3. In SoCal V2's are everywhere so it's good to do something that not everyone has.

Thanks Steve

Looks good. No engine bay or interior shots tho? I actually liked your V2 bumper more than the V3 but I like them better overall. I hate that wing lol as u stated most don't like it ans I definitely don't but overall I do like your car especially the rims.

Nice pic and car Wais! While most people not a big fan of the wing, I Love it!

Didn't know you damaged your V2 homie. You're right, V2's are everywhere but a lot of them don't run the canards with the nismo sides and rear along with the wheels... this is what I like about your set up.

Since you're done, I hope you are not thinking about selling it and starting a new project? We all know **** ain't cheap starting over.

Nice job Waizz...but I think it still needs a Vortech kit

But hey, are we ever really done modding our cars?

Timelessly clean. Hopefully, I can make it out to the next meet to see this awesomeness in person.

Here is an old photo of my engine bay, still looks the same today



Thanks

That's the plan, just enjoy her and stop modding

my NISMO V1 brother, we unite in support

V2 was too low for me, I feel like I ran it long enough and I needed a change.

Plus now who else can say they ran the NISMO V1, NISMO V2, and NISMO V3 on their car? I can

This bumper suits me alot better since it is alot higher and easier to daily and since my driveway is gnarly it helps me get in and out alot easier

You stop it with those suggestions Haris!

Thanks!

Gracias dude!

Thanks John, I will be bringing it going forward so you will eventually see it.

Ohhh I would have loved to see this look in DB but I really love my burnt orange seats

At one point I was obsessed with anything NISMO, luckily I have calmed down and stopped myself from going any further

Thanks again for your help Shawn, couldn't have done it without your help
