Seeyabud's Journal finally...

SeeyaBud86 · 10-20-2010, 12:56 PM

I've had the car over a year and a half and been on this forum for a while. I just really never thought of putting up a journal thread, but I get some pm's about my front bumper and rims, so I thought I would put up a journal finally =).

Picture taken after I just bought, '09 PW 6MT.

Next thing I had done was getting the stock rays painted gloss black. They came out really nice, and after a year and a half of driving (using car as dd) I have maybe 2 paint chips overall.

After that and some time, I decided I needed the Fast Intentions cat back with HFC's and the fog light. This was taken right after Nissan installed both for me, its crappy, my sister took it with her phone.

Since Nissan Installed the exhaust, they thought it looked and sounded so good they decided to make a video about it. I have NO idea the lady was going to say some of the dumb sh*t she said, but its kind of cool so w/e. She is full of it. They wanted me to launch the car, but I had just found out a little nail was in my tire and was taken out, didn't want to take any chances.

Better pic of foglight and exhaust

A little ways down the road I decided to get the S-Tune front lip. With intentions to later paint it.

After the lip I waited a couple of months and didn't do anything, was kind of calming down a bit. Until Stillen started talking about an aero kit for the Z, and they released a teaser pic of a roof wing and rear wing. I decided to purchase both of these, and at the same time get my front painted as well as my headlights. As of now, I have taken off the Stillen wing and roof wing, due to the poor quality of their urethane. As you will see I will post a pic of what is wrong with the rear wing (for those of you who don't see it before) and what ended up happening to the roof wing due to a combination poor materials and Florida's hot weather

Roof wing hitting hatch

After the whole Stillen disaster, I decided to repurchase the stock sport package wing, because during install of the Stillen wing my installer broke the stock wing because apparently it would have taken 5+ hours to take it off due to the screws. *shrug* I had to leave the distorted rear wing on until the new stock one came in the mail. During that time I ordered my set of KW V3 coilovers, which besides the exhaust is the best mod I've done so far.

Crappy phone pic of the coilovers when I got them

Installed, about an inch drop is all I can go due to high speed bumps, and low drops in FL.

The coilovers have actually settled a little bit and the car sits a bit lower now. Next order of business was new shift nob, and a TWM short shifter. The SS was a little rough at first, but has gotten a lot better after some use. Before and after pic. In the after pic you will see that I got my Kenwood DNX5140 Nav, and had a rear back up cam installed. Also GT-R start up button. (Recommend this because it is cheap and the product has much more quality than stock button)

Before (crappy cell pic)

After (much better pic with SS and Kenwood DNX5140

)

Pic of back up camera (yes my license plate frame is carbon fiber, mom got it for me as birthday gift from Griots Garage)

Now for the most recent stuff. Carbon fiber side inserts, and my new Hankook V12's. 255/40/19 front. 285/35/19 rear. So far love the tires, much more grip than stock and overall ride quality better.

Pic ended up crappy, thinking about spacers still, but might have to raise car a bit. Tires are very close to wheel wells.

I have a SPC rear camber kit on the way to try and fix some of my negative camber in the rear. And here are a couple more recent pics w/o the Hankooks with NYJon's car. More pics in: NewYorkJon & Seeyabud 86 (PW 370Z Photoshoot)

What did Marazzi charge for the install? They installed the exhaust and the HFC?

You ever finish sexting one of your female friends then immediately text one of your bros. It's like how do you make that transition, do you even want to? I've said too much.

Cool story and pics bro, looking good.

The Hankook V12's are the most popular street tire for the performance/money. A lot of forum members went with these.

So I'm debating on getting the TE37 SL's. Do you guys think it would match with my front lip? Or look goofy?
