Project Pearl Necklace - toxik's journal

toxik

Hai guise! This thread will outline the progress of my car... I decided to go with the project name of Pearl Necklace, due to the color code of the car (White Pearl) and a few other reasons.

I bought the car on May 01, 2010. After 1 year, I decided to take the car in a whole new direction, hence the start of this project. My original journal thread can be found here (Started modding my PW 370z). I will outline some of those mods that are still in my car in this thread as well.

June 2010

First mod. OEM Nismo CBE + Berk High Flow Cats:








July 2010

Added a Stillen License plate and did a few small mods. Painted OEM badges with VHT Nite Shades, for a black pearl effect.






August 2010

Added 20mm Spacers and dropped the car on Tein S-tech springs.






September 2010

Added Pioneer X920BT Double Din unit w/ backup camera




Bought the EVO-R Matte Black Rear Diffuser.







White LED reverse lights







2011

January 2011

Bought OEM 370z Nismo wheels powdercoated in Matte Black. Replaced 20mm spacers with 15mm H&R spacers all around






March 2011

Custom Rotora 8/4 BBK installed. Drilled/slotted Rotora rotors, Rotora SS brake lines.











April 2011

Custom Gloss Red painted Injen intakes installed. Will update pics, once I take some DSLR shots, cell phone pics is best I have right now






Bought a custom made X-pipe for the Nismo CBE. This replaces the OEM H-pipe on the nismo exhaust. The new x-pipe has 2.5'' piping instead of 2.0''. I'll take a video of it and post it here soon.

can you explain a little? Pm if you would rather

toxik

You just need to put the right tape (VHB 3M) in the right spots and have someone help u apply pressure to both sides of the diffuser equally. My biggest issue was the right side tape didn't hold as well as the left side due to me installing it myself. It just creates a small gap, but thats all.
