havent been on here much since not much has changed. i recently finished with my summer classes
and havent much to do so ive been searching for a few DIY and saw the wire tuck thread. not sure if i
wanted to go through all that work but i did decide to do my driver side body harness. (pretty basic and easy to do)
i know its not something thats really noticeable but it does clean it up a bit.
im looking to do my passenger side also and then decide if i want to finish the tuck.

if any of you guys have any other ideas of things to do let me know. i want to do something just dont know what.

Finally took the task of doing my passenger side body harness yesterday along with deleting the coolant hose that ran infront of the timing cover. Did a bit more polishing towards the bottom of the timing cover since it was dirty and need some polishing. Pics below:

nitido mano.
Estoy haciendo el mismo setup que tu, solo que tengo un 2007 y Platinum Graphite, Coupe.
Tambien me lleve el 350 para Puerto Rico, pero ahora me lo traje para Dallas.
Mucho gusto.


"Nice, man
I'm doing the same setup aswell, but mine is an 07 Platinum Graphite and Coupe.
I'd took my Z to Puerto Rico too, but I brought it now to Dallas.
Greetings"

Small update:

Wanted to change up the interior a bit and add a little style to it and since my steering wheel was getting pretty bad I decided to order a new wheel. When searching around I was a bit unsure which wheel to get but decided to go with the Nardi Deep Corn Sport Rally Wheel. I wasn't really sure what size to go with but the style I chose only came in 330mm so really wasn't a option. I also purchased a NRG short Hub and red quick release 2.5 which should come in today. I'll post a few more pictures later

Finally installed the Nardi wheel and the nrg short hub + quick release two days ago. Pretty stoked of how it all looks together. Definitely brings life to the interior of the Z. Haven't really taken any good shots of it but these will do for now. Also about 2 weeks ago my outside passenger door handle was starting to have problems from and just a couple days ago it just stopped working =/ a friend of mine had just bought the same handle I needed but since I'm usually riding with my girlfriend and he's by himself I bought it off him so I didn't have to wait for shipping.

If you guys have any ideas or thoughts as to something else to do to the interior let me know (besides the radio which I know should change but I barely use it anyways)

Ha I see you had to do exactly what I did! I had a little rip where the waterfall curves to the shifter, so i stuck a little piece there.

Yea loll! That's probably one of the tougher spots to deal with but it can easily be fixed.

This past weekend I decided to try something different with my Z and dipped my wheels white since I was getting bored of how it was looking. Ik plastidip is a no no for the most part on the forums but I needed to change it up a bit. I'm considering painting them white permanently since Sunday it started to rain and when I tried to clean them the texture of the dip was pretty annoying to deal with. Here's some pics of how she looks now.

Wow so after a year I'm actually bringing this back. It's been a little over a year since posting here and honestly I haven't done much to the Z that I can remember. Yes I've had plans of things I wanted to do but I'll be getting married this December so the Z really hasn't been a priority over this last year BUT good news, its time for some change. I'll just let the picture talk for itself and I'll look to update it when I get them on.

Buddy of mine was looking for some wheels since he had just picked up some cosmis but because he had brembos they didn't fit and decided he wanted to trade them for something else. Me just messing around told him about mine but eventually things got serious so we went ahead and swapped wheels. I still have to tweak the suspension a bit to have it sitting just how I want but overall I'm pretty happy. I did mount tires on already but Thursday I should be work on how it sits. For now here's some pics just test fitting.

So after about a little over a year since switching up my steering wheel for a Nardi one and losing my cruise control I decided to do a little Diy. I was doing a bit of traveling and noticed how much I missed it so I thought I would try to relocate it. I decided to put it in the ash tray after seeing what others had done with theirs and thought it was a pretty comfortable place to put it. I did a bit of experimenting with some small abs plastic pieces I had laying around and eventually got the perfect fit and after painting it gloss black, I decided to just wrap with the vinyl I had on my old steering wheel.

As some of you may have noticed in older pics my front bumper had a few cracks and the lip had a big ugly hole in the front but lately I've been having a bit more interest in the Z since I picked up the new wheels. This past weekend I got the chance to fix both my front bumper and the driver side sideskirt along with a tiny bend on my rear bumper. Also today I got the chance to pick up a set of oem rear taillights for $150 so why not. I really want the headlights even if they are just the Depot
