HKS air filter
NRG 370z steering hub adaptor
NRG quick release Takada edition
OMP 350mm steering wheel

Pros:
10 lbs weight saving.
more comfortable and gripper steering wheel

Cons:
Lost all the features on stock steering wheel.

I always feel the stock Z steering wheel is too thick and it takes away the road feedback. The OMP steering wheel is the thin version with bigger size than average steering wheel, so I can run 275/35/19 at front's without heavy steering feel. So far I love the turn out. We will see how does it perform at the track.

Looking forward to following this! Loved the first one!

Nice build! Why and how did you get a new Z so fast?

Actually I had been looked for the right z over a month..

Thank you! It will be similar but different. Looking forward to have it done in 2 months.

Damn, sell the amuse and build another one? Baller man !!

Love it! Keep it up can't wait to see the road you take with this one. Loving the steering wheel, just don't know if I'm ready to lose my steering controls, mainly the cruise control.

takada green matches well!!! What kind of wing are you doing? Can't wait to see this at the track, you forgot to mention the DBA 5000 rotors LOL!

that's one dirty *** filter!!!

Forgot to mention, I need to check out that recaro SPG XL see if my fat *** fits lol

Weight saving started.

SPG in.
Take out the spare wheel. LOL


Thanks buddy. I just the Z too much!

You can always relocate the cruise control on side. It's easy. I don't do it because I rarely use the cruise control.

Haha, GO GREEN!!!
DBA 5000 are still sitting on the floor, waiting more parts to come in so we can install all of them together.
You probably wont see this car at the track in a month or so. The shop is busy, not much time to work on the Z.

That is a very nice Recaro seat...........

Sub'd love what you did with the first one i have your seats :driving: cant wait to see what you do to this one :tup:

OK, oil cooler arrived. BIG *** one! Putting the new hood on today too. No wasting time.




Thank you buddy!! Hope you like your seats, they are my favorite for DD. Now I don't like getting in and out the car with SPG in it. LOL

Thanks!

Seibon TS hood review:

Quality for the price: 10/10
Direct bolt-on fitment: 6/10
After adjust fitment: 8/10
With hood pins: 9.5/10

The hood didn't fit very well without some mods to the stock hood hinges. The driver side pops a little bit. Hood pins should fix this issue.
Overall, I'm happy with it consider the price.:driving:

What oil cooler is that?
