hyunsoo1803's PW 370z Photographic Journal
 

Hello all, I've owned my car for just over 3 years now and I guess starting a journal is a little too late. Better late than never right? Instead of my journey with my 370z, I'm planning on doing photography journal where I would post photos of my recent shots so that I can keep track of how my car changed. :tiphat:

That's all I can think of on top of my head and I have ruled out a few minor mods that I did.

Now let the picture do the talking for a few moment

1. Started out with simple mods. Powder coated stock rays and went on the local mountain top for night shots. This photo was taken by my friend who did photography for fun. Since then, I got into photography and started my own shooting.

2. A few months passes by, my car had an exhaust (T1R), wheels (Volk G2), and suspension (T1R). For people who are not familiar with the brand T1R, it's a local brand that sells variety of different car parts.

3. As this is my first car that got me into car modification, the modbug bit me hard. VERY HARD.

I believe one of the photos above were posted on Stancenation. I don't see any stance though :bowrofl:

4. Like I mentioned earlier, I started photography not too long ago, but apparently, it was making some progress.

5. At this point of my journey with my car and photography, I got into HDR. I guess not that I think of it, it's a love or hate thing.

6. Got my first sponsorship from Status Racing. Their seat quality is AMAZING. Now that I look at photos, I added custom splitter on the bumper and AP BBK. This is why I need to keep track of my work :ugh2:

7. I got tired of typical automotive shots. So I tried to be more unique than usual. But turned out typical yet again :ughdance:

Let me just slow down here with pictures as it is not my intention to stress or bore out the viewers of my thread :p.

My camera gears:
5D Mark II
24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
50mm f1.4 USM
16-35mm f2.8L II USM
70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM

Others include tri-pod, sliders, mics, flash etc :)

Great shots, you are catching on quickly. What kind of camera do you have?

Oh yea and nice car, it looks great. I really like the rolling shot at the end.

Lovin it! Question: what seat brackets/bases did you use with the Status seats?

Sexy a$$ z!!! Love thos hre's.

Very nice pictures! Sexy Z

Love the photos and the car. Both are very tastefully done.

how do you get sponsored?

For my driver side, it sat too high even with lowest settings. So I got rid of planted seat base and status side mount. Instead, I got bride FO rails. Passenger side still has planted / status mounts.

Talk to them :tup:

I have a list up there somewhere :tup:

:tiphat:

:hello:

Slowly getting there ;)

I know this is not Z-related but me and my friend went out for a quick photoshoot and here are the results. Bare with me people, as I will be posting more photos of my car since there is a car show coming up :)

Damn dude, mad jelly, thats some seriously good $hit.

Excellent !!

If only these gears came with the skills you have :bowrofl:

:tiphat:

Fantastic photos!!!
Do you happen to know your friend's wing choice on his Z?

Also, how are your Status seats holding up?

It's Ings+ only one in B.C where I live as far as I know of.

Status seats are holding up well. No rips no nothing. Though the seat base has been replaced to Bride FO rails :tup:

amazing car man. makes my heart skip a beat everytime i see it lol

A little video that local guy made for me.



Special thanks to "Galeforce" for awesome custom gauges for my needs (52mm,60mm) and "Michael@Statusracing" for yet again custom seats.
Though it's not featured in this video, I would like to thank "Joe@Zspeed" for awesome SC supporting parts.

:tiphat:

I'm sad, confused, yet little excited about the new project thoughts.

I've been tossing the idea of selling my car and move onto a next project. I think I have a viable buyer who is a friend of mine.

As the 370z being my first project when modifying cars, I think I have overdone it to the point that it has lost its character. I wanted power, I wanted the looks, I wanted too many things at once. During the very first period of attendance of road course track, I slowly leaned towards functionality of the components. Chose harder parts, stiffer stuffs and what not.

Is it daily drivable? Yes and no. Everything rattles, it's loud, RE11's just don't feel safe in heavy raining season, seats make me tired very fast, but it is still very drivable.
Maybe it is because I only own one car being the 370z.

With that being said, I do not intend to own 2 cars and I want a car that does EVERYTHING well. I want it to be able to hold more than one person. I want to be able to drive it everyday without tiring myself. I want to be able to kick *** on trackdays and be able to go for wings right afterwards. I don't hate my car and especially all the 370z's here on the forum. I think every Z has its character and it's such a great car to enjoy. In fact, I love my car. Everytime as I walk away from a parking lot, I can't help but to look back several times. I think it's a love and hate thing.

With that being said... I think my 3 page postings of picture journal ends here.

Well, who knows, maybe I will keep my car :p

I smell an evo coming in the near future lol.
Well I hope you will share your next project with us. :tup:

Definitely on the sharing part.

Evo? maybe :driving:

My mind is pretty much set for e9x m3 (no e93) for its all around balance. :p

Meanwhile, I went out and got some fog shots for my car.

Nice setup. I sent you a PM with some ???

keep it man! one of my favorite 370z atm. all these shots are money lol

Hopefully it helped :) I don't come to the forum as usual now :(

:driving:

The hunt for the e90 m3 is really hard in here.... Might have to extend my search to US

For those in Canada with U.S imported cars, what are your thoughts on those cars in Canada? :)
