Rod about to hit the 50,000 view mark. Big time!

 

just more folks laughing at my first car build lol

my Second Z (Z32/280) however gonna be legit...

 

I have been on this forum now for what, 5 years? I've seen you in damn near every thread on this *****. I just found myself realizing that i have never seen your car! By god was i missing out, i love it man!!

 

^^^
Thanks love your car equally as well...










....ok now take a deep breath before scrolling and please reply to what I've done...


















Exhale...













Take another one...















Now my car needs body work for all the shiet I've done to it, plus running larger tires at the ride height I'm at creates a problem. When at full lock and the car compresses my tires rub severely on the fender...smoking...this is only at WOT on spirited roads...on 245 on the front previously it wasn't bad, and was bearable.

With that said, something had to give...

Now it's as I'm not 3 inches off the ground

When I get stateside I'll be cleaning her up and redoing the fender as I did take off too much...

 

 

oops.

 

WTF???

Anyway......love the car King. One of my favorite Z's.

 

thanks for taking the time to put me straight...lmao


looked at it today, and I see what I wanted to do but in real life doesn't look so hot!

 

So since destroying my fenders which i'm still tryna figure out the cheapest place to get new oem ones at. I've removed the automatic trunk pop and relocated the child proof to the front for manual use. Also finally wired up my rear fog light to the reverse light. For the longest I was on the wall to buy a 370Z rear fog just for the ability to have it flash while I backed up *cool factor*...said **** it ...




...while I got someones Canon...random pics...

 

Rod, my z will be put back together this weekend so it'll be driveable. Sorry to hear about the fender, at least both of us killed our pass side front fender lol, trying to copy me I see lol.

 

Rod, you were talking of maybe having a ZX project as well. Have you seen the recent release of TwinZ kit? Makes me want to get a ZX project going as well!!

 

Glad too hear man...pics of the new wheels!!!! Also the fender deal sucks, but I can full lock 24/7 on slopes now lol it's ugly but feels so right...

yea I've seen that kit....I like it but if I do get one its gonna look like this


Hey we need more of your car...pics/vids/flybys/startups/downshifts/. How many miles have you put on the new setup?

 

No miles yet, suppose to go pick it up at TSM tomorrow. Just finished dyno tuning earlier today. '99 Jspec bumper is my 2nd favorite! Can't go wrong with that one either!

 

what were the numbers?!?!

 

Same wheels, lots of flakers so finally put her back together tuesday night. Lemme know when u want to have one last meetup, I have MASSIVE rubbage in the rear tho, dropped it flush with tire and i may have MAYBE 1mm of gap. So no racing for me....plus sean still hasn't tuned my Z for the stock injectors so i'm keeping her under 5k rpms until then.

 

Hey Rod, Im gonna try to scoop by this weekend to grab my parts from u, I bought the NWP 75mm throttle body and spacer, just waiting on it to be delivered.

 

When you planning to retune?

I work this weekend....but feel free to swingby Thursday/Friday afternoon...


So haven't updated this thread because I've been saving for my moving expenses and have been focusing on family....

All that's over now lol...the saving part that is! My orders got cancelled and I'm no longer going to Florida. Nothing bad happen, for my military brothers inquiring. My duty station is going to be really thin on senior leadership for the next year and the learning curve in the IT rate is steep. So chain of command asked if I would consider staying...it's a win win situation as far as removing this monkey on my back to move and ship cars and find housing and all the mess....

So next on the list of things to do...

New front fenders to trim and re flare
Rear superleggera fender flares supposedly only 224.xx plus shipping
Then always on the hunt for an ARC oil/radiator cap!
Everything else is in hold until...wife says so

So yea update

 

Where can I find these rear fenders at? Do you know how much wider they are? Also, I am disappointed you aren't moving lol. Being stateside is better for parts and tune! Also, Z Nationals this fall. I was hoping you'd make it. Wanted to see this famous silver Nismo.

 

Supposedly extreme dimensions offers them at that price...it's either that or the regular nismo flares. Unless you trim your stock fender these add on flares don't add anything.

 

Just read through the entire thread!! King is my hero!!! Yeah I said it...
