Been forever since I have updated and figured this would be an AWESOME time. Over the past year my car has undergone a whole lot of changes. Beginning from where I left off..

My first mods were the basics as I was slowly parting out my Maxima.
My girlfriend surprised me with the EVO-R F1 light and I purchased a set of Powertrix Spacers to give the Z a wider stance and this definitely made me feel more planted to the ground.

Last Winter us in Boston Area got little to no snow, so I had the opportunity to drive her a whole lot. I prefer to work on suspension first on all of my cars, and I knew I was digging the H&R drop. I was not sure what route I was going to take my Z, so springs were the best option at the time (coming from coilovers) and I have no regrets to this day.

After grabbing these springs from Ryan (Thanks Again!) I installed them the same weekend along with some SPC rear Camber arms. The drop was just what I was looking for.

Next on the list was an exhaust (picture above was taken with exhaust on)

I had listened to a lot of different setups, and I came across the Motordyne. I was not 100% sure as to if I wanted to spend the extra money on it. After multiple calls and talks with Tony of Motordyne, I was sold and placed my order from FBNissan for the E370.

I got this exhaust could not resist installing it that night. Right when I got home I put the car up on my ramps and began breaking bolts and installing.

At first I loved the burnt tips, but the next day swapped them out for the more subtle chrome ones. The exhaust note was exotic and the tonality was to die for. I was ecstatic!

Next, I took my Pioneer Headunit out of my Maxima and installed it in the Z. Looked awesome with the interior lights and drastically improved the base/sport speaker sound.

I was hooked on hunting and gathering new parts for my new toy, and so I snagged a Stillen G3 intake kit.

Loved the sound of this with the exhaust, and really gave the Z that mean growl. Also, the added power was a bonus!

If I remember correctly, the end of that week, I took the Z in for a nice 30% tint job with Llumar tint and it came out awesome!

By this time it was mid Summer 2012, and I desperately needed some rubber for the rear.
Browsing around, I found great reviews from an eBay seller, and I purchased a set of 295/30-19 RE050As for dirt cheap!
