Nice build!

little experience update:

I drove the Z until the shop on wednesday and it was amazing, every single one in the street were looking at me lol

I was nervous like never before but i felt like i knew the car already, same thing that happened to me with my old 350z. So friendly, so responsive, so fun! way more than the old Z that had a Supercharger

There is a hissing that i always hear when i press the gas and it is because of the HFC but it doesn't bother me at all even tho i like it.

When i pulled out the car from my garage i felt like i was encapsulated inside but after following the road it was very comfortable to drive and very smooth (middle position on sway bars).

Got very excited and i went from 2krpm to 8krpm forgetting about the enging break-in LOL

For now and on i need to get used to the cluch pedal again, because it is almost 1 year since i drove a stick, mostly Q7, CR-V and gran vittara and all auto around that time.

The only thing i got in mind when i was on the street was not to **** up when i was in 1st gear so the car won't shut off haha but again i felt that i knew the car and that it was so gently to be driven.

Don´t know if you guys felt this the 1st time you drove your Z stick/auto

I need to do this DIY: Weight reduction/Fix hatch not opening issue

Having a trouble with the trunk. I must open it 2 times and i will change the springs for the nismo springs. I think it is because of the amuse wing but the wing is very light.

My wifes car has this issue and it got worse once we added the Amuse Wing. I still have not fixed it though, I just pull a little as I press the release button.

Yeah, push and lift. :/

Mr&Mrs · 12-28-2012, 05:55 PM

Oh and if you didnt get better struts you may want to now. Ours are getting very weak from the extra weight.

Edit: Nevermind I see you mentioned Nismo springs.
