oh man, your headlights look awesome! :tup:

Thanks! I pm'd you some details

For you and Jlo and everyone else who's asked for a parts list on the lights.....

I'll put this together here and try to update it with links. Again though, I have to say that this thread, http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...-w-videos.html , by Nut_N_Much has been the most helpful when doing your headlights.

Looking good brother:tup:

Car is down.... :( Had a sensor go bad. Unfortunately, what seemed like a quick sensor change ended up being a bigger ordeal. The sensor took some threads out with it on the bung. So now I'm looking at dropping the header so I can get a tap in there and clean up the threads.....ugh!

Not good :(

Damn bung holes!

it was just beggin' to be tapped! :icon18:

Thanks Nissan for cross threading the O2 sensor from the factory. This was a much bigger job than it should've been!!

Nissan dealerships:shakes head:
They will never learn will they:icon14:

I've got a full warranty and didn't bother with them on this. Lol. This was cross threaded from the factory

what are you installing?

My O2 sensor went bad. Just putting in a new one.

Looks like his bung hole put up a fight.

After a long project finishing my basement I FINALLY got back to work on the Z!! Wired up that controller for the demon eyes ...

All that extra work just to fix factory errors.

woah! that phone pic turned out terrible once I seen it here! lol

Ive had a bad 02 sensor, pre cat for about a year. I keep clearing the code ever 500 miles cus Im not wanting to deal with this lol

Stopping POWAAAA!!

Went with Z1 2 piece rotors and steel braided lines. Install wasn't bad at all.

Very clean job!
Is there a great difference in stopping power?

Thanks! Let's be honest! Our sport brakes are pretty damn good. I'd say they are about the same right now. However, I probably haven't worn the oil coating off the rotors yet and I haven't heated them up with any spirited driving to take advantage of the SS lines. So when I do...I'll report back.

Nice! Good upgrade for sure. I think the main benefit over stock is their light weight

Learning some lessons over the weekend!

Tried my hand at some plasti-dip.

Sprayed flat black on the front fangs. Thought my experience with auto body would help me make it look pretty good. But this product is pretty hard to get perfect. I didn't like a line I cut on the EVO-R CF lip either. Good thing I guess is it can come off.

I also tried the smoke on the taillights. It's a little dull for more liking. I sprayed some glossifier at the end and that shined it up. I may take it off and try again with a glossifier coat between each cot of smoke. But it took 7 coats to get it where I wanted so that may be an all day project!!

Say no to Plasti Dip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plasti dip for garden furniture!

thumbs down brotha, thumbs down!!!!

LOL! I think you're right on this one brother! Like I said, I thought being I've painted some national show winners before I went to college and became a desk jockey, I thought I could make it look good. Problem is, this stuff sticks to the tape and pulls up the edges. Hard to make it look nice.

thank god it peels off, i think if something is suppose to look like plastic, it be plastic

I wouldn't 'try" it if it didn't come off!

actually though, I may try the tint again. I tried the glossifier on the last coat to see if it would clear up the cloudy/flat look plasti-dip smoke has. It kinda did! and I'm wondering if I add it after every coat if it wouldn't look nice and glossy like real tint!

So............. I've got a little project build going on that relates to the Z. I've been getting into RC drifting. I purchased a car a few months ago and have been building it progressively as I learn to drive it. Last week I ordered Wheels/coil overs/ and a 370z body. I figure it will be a nice touch to have a mini clone! LOL

I wish I had more updates for the real car! Unfortunately, I'm waiting and waiting on some evo-r parts to come so I can get them to my painter. I've also got my fingers crossed for another reason. Got a Mountain bike I'm selling that has been getting interest. I'm hoping the guy that is going to look at it this week buys it, because that may move up my coil over purchase some!!! :)

what RC car did you get? I've been looking to get back into the hobby too lol

I got an HPI E-10 ready to run car. But like anything, I ended up doing a lot of upgrades on it right off the bat. It's a good car to learn on, but had I know I was going to enjoy it this much I would have bought a better one right off the bat. RC Drift Tools & Guides RC Drifting Countersteer DriftMission.com is a great resource for info.

I saw the like from Luciano. How did I know he would be all into that! LOL

Project mini Z coming along nicely! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...69c0b2019f.jpg

Very nice!! Can't wait to see te new goodies ;-)

Me neither!!! Now that Nick has let the cat out of the bag!!!! LOL :icon18::icon18: ..........


there is a big change coming thanks to NuGen hooking me up with some killer stuff and guiding me through the purchase! Thanks again for all your help Nick!

TEAM NUGEN!!!:tup:

LOL...no worries! glad you stopped by the thread!

Missed the darn delivery on Monday!!!! Hoping the wife is home today when they re-attempt. I'll have to take some pics when it comes.

I went through your last few pages.....nothing mentioned, only NuGen....
what u getting brother???

haha! NuGen hooked me up with a great price on some coil overs. Gettin' some stance! btw, now that the rotors are broke in and I re-bled the brakes a few more times the stopping power is very noticeably better than stock!
