Hocus's Fairlady Z

Hocus

I've always been a fan of the JDM life. EVO, SUPRA, SKYLINE, and of course, the Fairlady Z. I don't know what made me love the Z more. The aesthetics or maybe playing so much Wangan Midnight Max Tune in my youth, but I think it goes back to my friends always rocking the 240sx and 300z. I'm grateful for my little Trucky I've had forever (4-cylinder Ranger <3 ). I had that truck since 2006 and we been through a lot together, I will miss you Trucky. T^T haha. Anyways, lo and behold I got lucky one day while browsing around for a car. A slightly used 2016 370z for sale!! I took the chance and got myself my first real performance car! When I picked her up she already had some little aftermarkets done on her; K&N Instakes, spoiler and shifter knob. (Also, background story a little funny too). I couldn't believe I had a car that I've always wanted!!

Of course, the mod bug didn't take long for it to kick in and I was looking for parts, upgrades, the works! I wanted "That car". I'll be honest, I'm a YouTube mechanic. I have very little experience with working on cars, hell I looked up how to do an oil change and took the longest time for something so simple. But the feeling of accomplishment was amazing! I told myself that I will turn my own wrench for this car. No shops or dealerships.

And so without further ado, here is the progress of My Fairlady.

I live in Hawaii by the way. Weather can be unforgiving on cars here. Sea spray, random rain, sun and of course...SAND.
Here is what's under the hood at the time I bought her.
