Bunch of random nismo pieces from nengun.

And I'm going to try and mount these gt3 brake cooling spoilers and see if that can suit as a no bumper cutting brake cooling (minor) improvement.


With bonus puppy.

Got my dar spoiler today.
Scuffed the thing walking up my stairs tho.
It will have to wait until I get my bumpers/skirts so everything can get fresh paint all at once.

Looks pretty good tho. The mounting is a little jank. Just 4 screws right into the wing itself to hold it down. Maybe i will drill them out and install some rivnuts. Switch to proper bolts.

Loving the Nismo accessories! I’m may finally fork over some money to get the storage box now that I know it fits in the Z!

What a beautiful car.

The Singer of Z’s. And for 1/4 the price. Dream car right there

Haven't bought shocks yet because I've been trying to learn more about them.
TLDR "separately adjustable preload and shock length" is actually just BS marketing. 2 piece shocks are just cost cutting. Not better than 1 piece like suspension companies would have you believe.

They have less shock volume and travel, than a properly sized single piece shock body.

I think that's narrowed down my suspension choices to a lot less shocks. Looking hard the the MCS 2WNR and Moton Clubsport now.

But with 1 piece shocks you can’t incorrectly adjust ride height like every how-to video online says to!!

And now searching for mcs I found this

Not sure what tj think now lol

with the release of these I didn't really see any reason to pay over double for the SPL version anymore.
Sure they have jam nuts and don't look as nice but they will do.

Similar to the prodrive above with motec controlled paddle activated sequential.

That's a pretty great video underscoring why the VR38DETT is so great. However, they kind of lose me when they start quoting billet blocks because you can do that with a lot of other engines. It just comes down to the big bank game then.

Also, I didn't know that AMS hit a 9sec 1/4 time. I guess I'll need to get my 8.5 cage in my car and secure that time slip next year. :yum:

more vr38 goodness
2000hp on a stock alu block is pretty great imo!

Been thinking about trading in the Z for a C6 z06.
They really are two birds of a feather.

• Great heritage (C2 and 240z are 2 of my favourite car designs of all time)
• Affordable (maybe more so the base C6)
• Affordable Maintenance due to sharing parts with economy cars from the same brand
• Double wishbone suspension
• Lots of space very capable as a grocery getter/daily
• Simple, analog
• Visually Appealing

The C6 seems like such a logical upgrade.
More power, more grip, easier to adjust suspension, lighter, better weight distribution, dry sump, easier/cheaper to upgrade (and require less upgrading to begin with).

Problem is I don't want to get rid of my Z.
