Default MiL1TiA's 03 Touring

I finally got around to posting here, i created my account about a month back when i bought my first 350z and have simply been browsing around checking out the do's and dont's of being a 350z enthusiast. All of my life i have built Hondas and Acuras, about 13 to be exact, only one of those was a Nissan, a 240 with MAF sensor issue from hell that simply sat in my driveway and looked pretty. So here i am, back in the Nissan game and i must say im HAPPY TO BE BACK! Since purchasing my Z i have done a few mods, but wanted to say hello first before i got into any detail. If someone would like to point me in the direction of the appropriate section to post a lengthy build thread i would be more than happy to bring everyone up to speed.

The following pictures were taken only several days after buying the car, then removing the pin stripe, and giving it the once over with a battalion of detailing products.

After Pin-stripe removal and detail:




See everyone soon!

This could be interesting. I fully expect to be impressed.

That's a formal challenge ian. Let's see someone reach.

Good luck.

Squash Air spencer, the great smell of Japan.

Looking good, nice start. Now all you need is some spacers.

The end result of lots of hard work, my newly restored Volk GT-N's, My wheel restoration thread can be found here: Project Volk Restoration, 18x10 in the rear with Nitto 555's. I apologize for the dark pictures, i took them tonight just spur of the moment cruising around on my new shoes.














And yes i realize the offset in the front is off, dont worry the spacers are on there way

I like the color choice and your work on the paint was done pretty well : )

I have some volk le28n's that are polished/black face, but are not two piece like yours .. I really want to paint the faces a matte bronze : (

Looks good!

25-30mm spacer in the back, and maybe 5-10mm in the rear and it'll look reaaall good!
