theres also some Z owners who already have the lime too but like you said they are few and far between

Janik, that looked fun as hell






To Silverbullet...

To pull off an "exotic" color, such as the viper green, etc... You'll need a not-so-stock body... otherwise it won't flow well. IMO at least...




Dave, that picture of Alex's car is amazing, love that car. Those wheels are beautiful!!! I want them so bad. Was quoted for $2900 with center caps. :/


Did a quick photochop...

I'll also be painting my headlights black in a month or so... whenever it warms up anywhere above 20 degrees so I can get outside and start taking apart the front.

And for a change... I have some nice performance plans after I'm out of basic training and doing decent financially.

Hi, Dan. I'm assuming you're in this thread because you want some of this -21 winter weather.

That's true. I was thinking it but forgot to post it. You'll need an aggressive kit to match the paint.

You know who's car that is? Sweet. You'll be sporting the only Z with those in MN.

I'm waiting for the temps to warm up so I can get in the garage and tackle the car. Stupid weather....

Ya his name is Alex. Username is Nitrouz. Sold it and bought a GTR.

Man, I hate researching or shopping for exhausts. I guess there's a reason they exit the left side instead of the right for a single exhaust.

Why you searching for exhausts?

And what's the reason for exiting on the left? I'm actually kinda interested in it ha.

I just gotta get the money together for them.

Time attacks on a black car = nice.








Good to see some newer people (I think) roaming the forum. Come this spring, we gotta have a big kick-*** meet.

Who's throwing my going-away party??

I think the pipe bends are easier to deal with on the left. If that's the way it's going to be, then I'll settle.

When are you going away?

As far as the whole color scheme for the Z i really dont have any interest in goin with that lime green or any hot color that sticks out, like someone said earlier you would need some wicked body kit to pull it off, mainly a wide body kit for that matter.

I'm only askin about colors tho cause i plan on gettin a body kit for the Z but it's going to be of a different varity, I want the Top Secret Type 2 longnose front bumper/kit, maybe some different side skirts they're ok in my mind, but definetly a different rear bumper (basically the rear bumper is stock except for the rear diffuser), which is what i'm runnin into issues with i cant really decide yet but it needs to flow with the car

Let me know what kind of tires you want, I will be buying some in the next 2 months. I can get deals on Falkens and Toyos...others too. If we buy at the same time we can get a better discount.
