Looks good Jim!

jlo370z 09-05-2014 06:52 PM

So my Fujimura side skirts are here, and I must say they have me scratching my head. Not at all what I expected, in fact I had to call Sean @ Vivid to see if I got what I was suppose to get. He has never seen them before either so I guess tomorrow morning we will see. Ill go grab a pick now maybe someone here has them and can verify it is correct or not.

jlo370z 09-05-2014 07:03 PM

So here they are still in wrap till tomorrow. I plan to take lots of photos tomorrow incase they are correct as they are pre drilled and come with bolts. Not sure exactly where the bolts go but we will know tomorrow

if it is screwed up im selling the car!!!

I hope its just a lot of wasted carbon fiber but i dunno its massive and oddly cut.

jlo370z 09-05-2014 07:26 PM

oh and it would be the 3rd time but who is counting. ordered these (not exact ones) back in April!

Please note........ issues are not at all related to Vivid Racing, they have been great throughout the ordeal.

axmea? 09-05-2014 08:55 PM

Holy Stark! Those lights!

jlo370z 09-06-2014 12:11 PM

I'll have more photos later but the fit and finish is great!

I agree, I got some ground clearance back. can now fit a floor jack underneath it again. those sunshine/aerojacket (not sure what they where) horrible. im going to clean those up and take some pictures of them. so people can see why you pay and wait for quality.

jlo370z 09-06-2014 04:35 PM

oh on a sad note............. I am no longer waiting for parts. I need brake pads and lines, but after that nothing!!!!! OMG what am I to do?

jlo370z 09-06-2014 05:14 PM

Lots of photos here
 
So here is the Fujimura Side skirts from the underneath. All holes are predrilled, the larger holes you see are for access to screws already on car. Notice the cut out for the jack, there is even cut outs for the plastic flaps in back.

here is the side skirts from above now installed. very easy to install on jack stands. recommend an extra set of hands to hold the one end while you secure the front end.

I like that it's subtle, and very clean. People would have no clue you have a 500+ hp monster... until it's too late. :tup: :rofl2:

jlo370z 09-13-2014 09:27 AM

Wing, or add-on?
More low, coilovers?
rear spats or diffuser?
Stereo?
Seats?
Roll cage or half cage?
Different badges?
Nismo conversion?
Amuse conversion?

Hope this helps spark a few ideas! :tup:

jlo370z 09-13-2014 10:11 AM

Wing, or add-on?..... I have thought about the INGS +1 wing but would need to find a Solid Red base model to trade hatches with my sport version.

More low, coilovers? I bottom out every 10 feet now LOL

rear spats or diffuser? Have the Fujimura rear diffuser now

Stereo? Done

Seats? Seriously considering this one

Roll cage or half cage? If i start to track days i would consider this

Different badges? have gone back in forth putting on gloss black badges

Nismo conversion?
Amuse conversion? im full Cf all the way around car now and like its look, though id do the zelle rear bumper if i could find away to make quad tips out of my exhaust

The new Nismo front bumper looks :yum: Actually the old Nismo front bumper looks :yum: too.

Have you done the RJM cutch pedal assembly? I think you did, but can't remember.

I agree on the nismo front bumper from the new model. do they ship that painted already? or frp

I do have the RJM clutch pedal but havent had a chance to install it. I also have the bung extenders for the o2 sensors that I need to put in to see if it will drop the code.

makstraw 09-13-2014 02:47 PM

Word.

I was just spit balling ideas brother. I would say full CF would mean complete CF bumpers, but everybody has their own opinions :) yours is clean, good job. And personally I like the look of the Aero Jacket type M add-on wing. Still keeps a clean look. I believe Aero Jacket is offering those free with a amuse kit purchase, or $575 shipped in CF.

I like your build, once again, good job!

jwick 09-13-2014 03:05 PM

How's the leg?

Oh and the G is no longer a DD so it'll be pretty hard for me not to have my tuner turn the boost up when I retune for the V1.5 upgrade

jlo370z 09-21-2014 09:08 PM

So after being able to put some mileage on the Z now with the sway bars installed. I must say, the sways teamed with the swift springs.... this car feels incredible cornering at any speed now, plus the skittish feeling over rough roads are now gone because of the sway bars. I recommend anyone to do either one of these mods, but suggest to do them together, probably the best performance mods other then boost available for the car.

ordering rotors.lines and pads tomorrow ;)

Jason..... steering wheel cost?

jwick 09-21-2014 09:12 PM

I have eibach springs and hotchkis sways. I love em. Thing handles like on rails :tup:

So you recovered?

Im a long way from recovered , but have enough strength for some light duty driving on weekends. I start rehab in 8 days, cant wait to get to that stage.

I didnt really think i would notice the sways that much, but I honestly notice them more then the spring change, the car rides so awesome right now. cant wait for next spring to try it out on a track:driving:
