Glokwork's Journal
 
Well guys I bought my new 2011 magnetic black 370Z on May 29 2011. Base 6speed none of that extra junk I don't want or need. I'm pretty late getting this started but I'm trying to remember each mod I've done and I'll try to keep it updated! Any feedback is appreciated, thanks for looking and enjoy!

Current Mods
CNT HFCs
Nismo chrome open O shift knob
FI SS Non Res TDX (Still waiting)
Injen CAIs
Swift Spec R Springs
Avant Garde M310 Matte Black Wheels
Hankook Evo V12 Tires
GT-R Start Button
Black Chrome Burgers
Hood Dampers
20% Window Tint
20% Vinyl Taillight Overlays
Pioneer 7" Touchscreen DVD

These were taken right after I left the stealership!

After 1 month and 900 miles it was time for the first mod. CNT/ERZ HFCs is what I went with...the swap was 'fun' you could say. Lots of beer was consumed and many unkind words directed to the workers who decided to use gallons of loctite. Still loving these, there's rasp on a cold start but the sound is great once they heat up.

I decided in was time for some new shoes so I contacted Eric at getyourwheels.com and he hooked me up. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for wheels/tires! Also, had to purchased angled anti-foulers for the CNT HFCs, CEL every 10 miles and now 2,000 miles later NO CEL!!!:happydance:

The next day after I put on the wheels and tires, I swapped out the shiny burgers for the sexy black chrome burgers :tup:

The following day it was time to drop this beast on Swift Spec-R springs.
1.25" drop front and 1" drop rear. That small drop made a huge difference IMO to improving the appearance and stance! The ride is a little harsh but thats part of the game. Cruising on a decent road is great, but the rough stuff is definitely amplified now. Ironically I scrape less with a drop than I did before, because I took the front air guards off. The only thing that has gotten me after springs is a huge deformed speed bump. Anyways heres the pics :happydance:

Thanks fellas I definitely do appreciate it! Those wheels are sweet and to be honest I don't think there's anything better for the price.

The following week it was time to go dark :yum: Went to a local graphics shop that does amazing work and went with 20% 3M tint all around (ha stupid 50%/35% VA limit). Two days later slapped on the Bluebatmobile 6/10 20% vinyl taillight overlays with reverse cut out for that different look. Turned out great and after about 2 weeks still no trouble from the man :driving:
