This car was built by member sk8fe who did fantastic work on this car. Everything is perfect. My job as the cars new owner is for my wife and i to enjoy. She calls it our date car. Thats fine with me. I call it my woooohooooo car. It is a real blast to drive. I have an MX5 also but i have been letting my son drive that. I am enjoying keeping things clean and shiny and keeping her warm and dry. Sk8f did so much to this car i need some ideas for some things i can do. I plan on a plenum spacer come spring. Any brand recommendations would be appreciated. We are planning to go to a bunch of car shows this summer. Hope to meet up with some other Z owners.

Welcome!
By the way,got a similar setup with my Z(although,I have several other cars).My wife
drives it.I work on it/pay dearly for the many mods I've done!
Great lookin car.Appears to be well maintained.
IMO,on your spacer...these things are just a piece on metal(aluminum)cut on a angle.
Sure,you can pay upwards of $250+for one plus install(unless you are a DIY guy).
The results are not that much different.I've got a spacer from Z-1 Motorsports.Bought
it for $125 on sale.Works great..
I've not seen those roof "fins" on a Z...have on a Subo.
"Different".
Are those stripes on your front fenders vinyl?
Man,I would dump e'm.
Suggest a CF front lip to go with your sides.
You coud go with a Nismo style or,I prefer a Mines.

Good luck!

Remove those vinyls lines on the front fender.
Remove the front license plate holder and the shiny chrome nissan badge.
Add some quality wheel spacers to get those NISMO wheels flush.
If you are looking for more "bolt-on" performance, get a plenum spacer and test pipes then a tune.
Other than that, you definitely have a unique looking Z. Welcome to the forum!

----^^^ this! I'd also remove the roof fins... Doesn't look right on a Z, IMO. The license plate holder is awful. You'll probably have holes after the removal so pick up some plugs or just pick up a Nismo V2 to go with the sides.
