Well! More upgrades along the way here shortly. I got in contact with Charles Park out here in San Diego at PowerTrix. A buddy of mine recommended their coilovers for the car. He's driven multiple setups and these by far are the best he's ever used. So I went with purchasing the UltraLite set with 13k/11k swift spring setup.


I've been wanting to upgrade the wheels and tires so finally got my boxes in. 19x9.5/10.5 Work CR Kiwami with Hankook 255/285 35R19 setup.

This last weekend, I got the setup for the car down. Drove over to PowerTrix and got to work with Charles Park. The guy's knowledge base is awesome. His work is very methodical and has a purpose. He helped show me how the installation goes and explained how/why the components work. Overall a great learning experience! If you are in San Diego area and get the chance to meet him, really good guy and helpful.




The car looks amazing now! Definitely love the setup!


After the install I did a quick test drive and noticed the difference on how the car handled. Took some hard U-Turns on the street outside and was very impressed by the response. Just driving has completely changed. I highly recommend this setup. For those interested PowerTrix Ultra-Lite coilovers with 13k/11k Swift Springs.

ABUNAI NISMO

Well, it's been some time. I haven't posted in a while due to events in life and felt it was time. Lets just say, March wasn't a fun month. I wanted to get work done on the car, but didn't want my car to be in an accident for it =_=; I got faulted though I say it was 50/50 since person speeding to get through middle lane to turn left, but Cali says it's the other drivers lane even though she pulls into that lane way before the actual entrance.
Front bumper got knocked 20ft from car into the road and other driver smacked my tire as I was merging into lane from stand-still. Damaged my steering.



So I after insurance did their thing and came back with estimates I was able to get the car worked on. Alignment and steering was taken care of and I was able to get the car driving (no bumper though.) Was recommended Llyod's Autobody in Santee. I paid out of pocket for some extra work. Did not expect the love I got. No more band-aid on rear panel, dent looks like it was never even there. Front bumper is completely redone with no paint peel or chipped cracks. The damage to FRP isn't noticeable, you have to be directly on it to see the thin crack from under the paint. Really restored the car to perfection.

As for future plans. Looking at going the turbo route hopefully before the year closes. Currently working on getting the fuel upgrades first (CJM Twin pump and return system, 1050CC injectors.) I would love to have the Fast Intentions kit, but after talking to my buddy in the club who's rocking it, price tag is too heavy for the moment. (This is parts, labor, tunes, extras.) Yea, that 850hp would be glorious, but I might have to settle on something else. Looking at the Boosted Performance twin setup currently. I think it would be good for the club since we will have all levels of turbos (F.I, AAM, and BP). Lets aspiring guys see what options there are and get different opinions.
Well fam, off for a drive. ♥

=== HOLY NECROMANCER ===

It has been a long time since I've posted here. Shamelessly and embarrassing posting now T^T .

Got some catching up to do so lets start off with highlights.

Clown world started to die off some and I was able to participate in SPOCOM San Diego. I wasn't ready to show off the Z but wanted to take a chance to participate with the club. Got lots of attention as Zs in southern California aren't always maintained well. Only three of us entered that year and my buddy placed 3rd for his G35 under the Nissan/Infinity catagory.

Next up was Nissfest. The club ( VQ Inc Cali ) and I made are way north to enjoy some vibes with friends and see the event. Huge venue and some amazing cars out there. Drift contest, drag racing, and shows cars all around.

**Due to pictures being HUGE I've linked them below. So if you have something like hover zoom, you can just mouse over the pictures.**

Well, it finally happened. I got around this year to getting turbo installed on the Z. Worked with Fast Intentions and Specialty-Z to help make my car become more. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to Seb and his team at Specialty-Z for making this all happen. Phenomenal work all around and very knowledgeable. They were able to get the install done very quick.

My buddy Billy from the club said the 370z never really had that power that should be there. You hit the throttle and you just kinda expecting more. Him coming from the 300z Twin Turbo to the 370z I can see what he means now. The power is there with my car when I want it and she is more enjoyable to drive.

Re-capping from a bit ago (July).I know, I know...slacker. The club participated in Fusion Auto Show and we came through we some awards. I was surprised that I placed 3rd for best Nissan and my buddy cleared 1st for Best Infinity. From what the judges recommended I need to work on the interior. I got some plans in the works such as doing the door panels and adding a raspberry pi computer in my center piece, for the purpose ECU monitoring.

Posting Link to a car meet I had. The Z is getting lots of attention and someone from a car meet made a post about me. Thought I'd share. Enjoy
