New Z: 2011, MB, 7AT, touring+sport+nav

Power-ups coming soon... :excited:

Fook. Sorry to see that, man. But glad you've got a new black one!

Thanks :tup:

Long story short, swerved to avoid somebody who cut me off on highway, avoided collision with anyone but careened off the concrete barrier.

Body damage looked workable, but I managed to rip the front axle apart and twist the frame in the rear, so... TOTALED.

Baseline dynos and mods to come... first thing I need to do is tint and oil change :p

I'll have a few left over items from the old zed for sale soon too :D

Welcome to the dark side. :)

Yikes. Poor Z.

Wowzers, glad to see it worked out in the end!

Ouch

At first, I was like :(. Then I was like :). Glad to see you stayed in the Z!

Terrible and awesome all in the same post :)

Says the guy that jumped ship. :p

Glad you're alright, Jordo. :tup:

Nice new Z. :tup::driving:

Thanks, gents :tup:

Will be doing a few things a bit differently.

Probably going with PPE headers instead of TP's and spending money (eventually) on stickier tires rather than different wheels.

That new intake project I had mentioned in other threads is still on, but moving slowly, so eventually that.

Also planning on koni's + swifts and a few other suspension mods that I have been accumulating... I'll share details as things get done for those who may be interested.

First thing I need to do, other than tune the shift speed and throttle response is get a baseline -- back to stock for the moment.

Glad it worked out, and glad you're okay!

Ouch. Glad it worked out, congrats!

Dang sorry! At least you got another one!

Glad you're OK. Congrats on the replacement though

That sucks man, but glad to hear you're ok. Now you get to go through the modding addiction all over again :icon17:

Now we know where that came from haha. Enjoy the new Z :)

glad you're ok, and :tup: on getting another Z

Man very sorry to see :(

Glad you're OK and back in a Z :tup:

Thanks for the well wishes, guys -- much appreciated :tiphat:


Heh heh -- eh, not the first toy I've managed to break in some way.

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, it's actually a line from an old Slits song -- it fits :tup:

Glad you are ok and back in a Z!

What items are for sale?

That's allot of work to get a new car!:tup:

People drive like sh!t hope the new Z treats you well:driving:

glad to hear you are alright after the wreck.

Nice color for a new Z. :tup:

shamless plug: if you're interested in picking up a lightly used oem nismo exhaust, hit me up. :tup:

I had illuminated door sills, but just sold them.

Might be selling my EVO-R cf license plate garnish, and local would be preferred.

Set of OEM cats.

That's about it ATM.


:tiphat:

I might be! Are you nearby? I could pick it up or we could maybe meet in the middle. PM me with details on price, please.

/\ check your pm's :tup:

holy crap bro!!! i was wanted to look at your z because i remembered you had s-tune wheels and felt like looking at them and then i see this... crazy... glad you stayed with a z bro and it worked out...

Thanks :)

Some new (crappy phone) pics -- tinted, body matched solar wing II, shiny EVO-R emblems, swift spec R springs, Koni yellows, and spacers (20 mm F, 25 mm R)

If anyone is wondering, alignment is set with -1.65*camber in front, -2.38* in rear (thanks, in part, to SPC adjustable rear camber arms), and +.1* toe all around -- feels like a go kart! :tup:

Better pics later on.

Baseline dyno on Saturday and then on to the power-ups :D

Looking good! :tup:

Dang Jordan!

Glad to see you're back up and running though. Car looks great with the few things that have been done already. Looks like you'll be getting in touch with Martin soon.

:D

That was quick!

Why, thank you :tiphat:


Oh, neglected to mention this but also picked up a 4-point ladder brace and Nismo sways (the latter was plenty of bar for me before, and a legitimate upgrade from stock), Project Mu HC+ brake pads (they rock!) and a set of SS brake lines from Z1.

PPE headers and (in all probability Nismo take-off) cat back coming soon. Bellmouth SRT intakes coming eventually... will do the tried and true smooth tubes + K&N filters in the meantime :tup:

Lots of new dynos coming soon!

They make those break pads for the Z?

How did the wheels holdup in the accident?

They look like they were bent but fixable, just curious...

Yep. But tough to get -- had to special order them. Got the rears before I totaled the old Z and the fronts like a week ago.

Just as well... they would have been lost with wreck.

Wasn't really an option for me -- they adjusted the claim to account for them, so it all worked out.

I missed your red Z's fate until today. Sorry. Most pleased you took up another Z.

Good thing for those albums at the top of the site page or I'd have gone on ignorantly.
