New stuff ordered!:

Shine Rears


Ichiba Camber Kit:


Motordyne 5/16:


Whiteline Bushings:


NGK Plugs


ARC Oval Shift ****


Wating on Vendors for:
EVO-R Spoiler




Starting to come together nicely. I was going to upgrade the stock brakes with some basics, however I've chosen to wait it out and go with a BBK like the Akenbono or Brembo. The weather is starting to change for the better. I can finally start putting all this stuff on!


Update 4/6/11:

Ichiba Camber Arms Arrived!
Motordyne 5/16 Arrived!
NGK Plugs Arrived!
Whiteline Bushings Arrived!
ARC Shift **** Pending Arrival!


I've been getting the runaround with EVO-R. The vendor just sends cut and pasted responses and never picks up the phone. I think I'm going to hold off on buying the spoiler and see what the car looks like without it.

Also debating a rear strut bar like this one:



Your thoughts?


4/8/2011:
Installed the Motordyne 5/16 and ARC **** today; with the help of a couple good friends. Car feels a lot smoother throughout the power band. I should have done this a long time ago. Hopefully if Wednesday is a nice day I can install the coils woot woot!

4/23/2011

Front Suspension Installed!
Shine Rears Installed


Car is maxed out in camber in the front now and running a nice and flush setup. I made a bro video for you guys to enjoy. I'm really statisfied with how the BC coilovers ride. I have it set to the stiffest setting and it still feels better than my springs. Here is some media for you guys:















4/24/2011:

Washed the Z today and pulled the fenders slightly with no cracks Took a few more Iphone 4 photos and made a little video. I'm starting to really like this car. I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere. Here's the media:

The rear sticks out more its just the offset is -10 in the rear and -5 in the front. The car is just lower in the back then it is on the front and the stock camber is maxed out. I really need a camber kit and some coils to get the stance proper. This is my daily driver, lol.

Thanks for all the comments guys, anyone by chance know of the undertray rear diffuser that would fit a single exhaust with some nismo v2 rears?
