My First Mods were the installation of a R35 Start Button (Which was extremely simple) and the installation of a PWJDM Balanced Shift knob (not so simple). I didnt expect it to be such a difficult job, but it ended up taking two people to make sure the linkage wasnt turned when i removed the knob.

Below are the remnants of the stock shift knob... haha

Yeah im still trying to think about what i want to do after that.. Picking new wheels is probably the hardest thing in America to do. If i can come up with enough doe ill most likely purchase a Stillen Supercharger.

Default FI exhaust installation

The next thing i did was purchase and install a Fast Intentions Cat-Back. The install was extremely easy and straightforward. Great build quality and i love the sound this exhaust makes.

Im very lucky that my dad has a lift, thats really what made this an easy job!

The most recent things ive done are install Z1 intake tubes, HKS drop-ins, and Paint my Engine Cover. Cut my finger on something in the engine bay so now i literally have blood and sweat in my car, but no tears as of yet.

The Tubes were a little difficult to slip on because they dont really bend like the factory ones do, but i found that if you pull the air boxes, it makes the install a little easier.

Update: The Engine cover was painted with 3 or so coats of Krylon Fusion plastic paint, and it has held up perfectly for around a month or two now. It look the exact same as when i first painted it.. I was actually surprised because it gets immensely hot underneath that hood.

EVO-R Spoiler should come in tomorrow, but after looking at the forums (especially what RCZ said) about removing the sport spoiler, I have decided just to let the body shop do all of the work. I really didnt want to screw up the hatch and then have to get them to fix it, so this route seems a lot easier. I know the people that own the shop, so im going to see if they'll take some install pictures for me.

Got the Z back today from the body shop. The Spoiler looks really good on the car. Really glad i let the shop do it for me because they had a hard time removing the sport spoiler and BROKE IT IN HALF when they were taking it off. But the new wing has perfect fitment and im really happy with it... Now im just waiting on the EVO-R Front lip to come in.

Here a couple pictures of the EVO-R Nismo wing after i washed my car today. I do think that the spoiler is a little aggressive for the rest of the car, but that should be fixed when the Front lip comes in. I may also get some side skirts.

I also did the "penny trick" because the springs werent strong enough to pop up the heavier spoiler. Easy to do and it hasnt gotten stuck yet! <-- thats with three pennies
