Red face Quick progression of my car

I haven't posted much, figured I'd do a little thread on my car.
I bought my Z coming from the Subaru world, with the intentions of keeping the Z stock and mild after doing quite of bit of modding on my wrx. Didn't want to go down the money pit road again.

So we'll start with the pictures. Just from day 1, to the progressions visually it's had since I never took pictures of the performance mods I've done, they're really boring anyway since its just full bolt ons, jwt clutch/flywheel, 4.08 FD gears and cobb tuning, nothing really interesting.


















and that kinda brings us to where she sits today. Still not done, have a few things being upgraded like wheels, tires, some performance stuff, etc.

Wonderful car! The Z looks so much like the GTR. From the side I had to squint to remember it was a 350z (but no glasses so...).

Are you considering continuing that rear riveted fender though? It just ends...

Thanks a lot! The rear diffuser was kind of a random thing my friend and I were just testing out that happened to stay. I'm thinking of changing the rear all together for a top secret style diffuser tho

Thanks Chris! Right now the RPF1's are 18x9.5+15 18x10.5+15 with Z1 15mm front 30mm rear spacers with 245's front 295's rear. Looking into getting 18x11/18x12 setup with meaty fitment all around. wheels and tires are the next step, just kind of taking my time and looking into different options. Tire prices are going to suuuuck on 12's tho haha

Good job mixing parts up!

Those flares look great too. Custom made? Did you have to cut those fenders?

thanks! TBH i'm not sure, I bought the bumper yearsss ago from a member on here, who also wasn't sure. Fitment and quality was great before i started hitting it on things, so if it's not authentic, it's probably a Shine rep. And the RPF1's are insanely light but im not sure of the HR weight, mine is an 03 touring so i had those super heavy 18's

I love the white lettering, i just wished it lasted longer. I'll be re-doing the letters on the next set of tires i get tho!

thanks guys. i'll try to keep it updated as things change. The flares are the Z store datsun S30 flares, and i had the shop cut them to match the body line and expose some tire. As for the fenders yeah the front fenders and rear quarter panel (which needs to be re-sealed since it's two pieces) were both cut in order to actually have the flares functional so I could run wider wheels/tires in the future

Been following you on your Tumblr forever now, I drool over your Z. Easily one of the nicest builds, simple but yet so aggressive!
