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:

FI SS non res TDX will be installed within a week or two, trying to acquire magnetic black door handles, once winter comes I'll be shipping the headlights to either 180 or MRWorks to go full black with possible dual led orbs and demon eye(red or green). Hopefully late winter early spring I can have the money to go fi, I would love to do turbo but damn I just don't have the bankroll to pull it off and I'm worried about the reliability of it since I dont have a tuner within 3 1/2 hrs of me. S/C will probably be the route I go, I'd like the gtm stage 2 but also been talking to Raul about his stillen setup. From there who knows what else, kinda depends on the economy and how well I can stay afloat.

Glokwork 08-30-2011 03:46 PM

Today my Fast Intentions SS Non-res CBE is supposed to ship out! I'll never be happier to see over a grand appear on my credit card! Been 12 weeks and I'm sure it will be worth the wait :tup:

MR works is outta business FYI. The stage 2 SC you will enjoy if you go that route. No issues there.

SPOHN 08-30-2011 06:55 PM

Nice ride. Love what your doing. If you go the FI route I'd be looking at some brakes first.

TheGreatOne 08-30-2011 06:56 PM

Very nice, the Avant guard rims really set your car off.

All tasteful mods and you'll be really happy with the FI Exhaust.

I didn't know that about MR, thanks for letting me know. 180 seemed like the better choice anyway. Stage would be great, also looking at a used stillen sc too.

Thanks buddy, I do need to get a big brake kit. I'd like to find one that would also fit with the stock 18s.

Thanks man! I definitely need an oil cooler, I can hit 220 in less than 10 minutes from a cold start driving like a grandma. I'm thinking at least 25 row, maybe 34 if I go FI next year.

NYBladeZ 09-07-2011 08:30 AM
