GT-R Push Start Button
 
4 Attachment(s)
This was fairly easy to install. I didn't even have to use a screwdriver to pull out the original OEM button. I popped it out with my fingernail. The total process took me 10 minutes.

Sun Visor LEDs

I installed these sun visor leds. I was really careful because the glass is easy to break and the clips to put the lens back on was fragile. They are from JDM toy.

Stillen Gen 3 Intakes
 
8 Attachment(s)
I installed my Stillen Gen 3 Intakes and they helped a lot with throttle response and hp. The notice was instant. I love the sound of the intakes as well. The air sucking in from the intakes can be heard very well from 2K-3K.

Tein S Tech Springs Installed
 
18 Attachment(s)
The Lowering Springs made a big Difference. They are the perfect daily driving height and it sits much lower than factory. The ride quality is a lot better than stock and the handling is actually improved a pretty good bit.

Stillen Sway Bars Front and Rear

I installed Stillen sways and i set them to the middle setting on both. They made a huge difference going through the turns. The car handles much better.

Berk HFC's
 
13 Attachment(s)
I believe this is my best mod to date. These HFC's made a world of difference in sound for the car on a stock exhaust. It roars when it comes to life at 3.5k to 4k. The sound is pretty awesome and the backfire is nice to hear as well. These gave a pretty nice power gain.

carlitos_370z 11-17-2014 06:44 AM

please post some vids if you can :)

Have you checked the Vimeo link?

Best Time
 
2 Attachment(s)
This was my best time when I was Bone Stock in the 1/8. The 9.0 was my first time to ever drag. The 8.5 was after a few runs.

Glad to know that you like the sound and power gain by swapping out just the cats. I recently picked up some Stillen HFCs, but plan on leaving the rest of the exhaust stock for now. I was a little apprehensive about how it would sound/perform, but it sounds like it worked out for you. Any problem with your CEL coming on after the install? I plan on installing the O2 extenders, so hopefully I won't have any issues. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind posting a video of a cold start so that I can hear what your exhaust sounds like?

I see you're just down the road from me. I'm in Memphis, but travel all over MS for work. What part of the state are you in?

Lastly, your car looks great and congratulations!

I am actually in Biloxi, MS area. The stock exhaust with HFC's i am very pleased with because it can be heard that the car is no longer stock. It is very aggressive at a cold start for it to have a stock exhaust. I will post a cold start video next week as soon as I can because I am not driving the car at the moment. I had a problem one time with the HFC's throwing a Service engine soon light, but after the local auto part store cleared the codes it went away. There was one code that the auto part store couldn't clear and it was a permanent catalytic converter code, but after i started the car it went away. Thank you for the compliment and I am no where near done lol.

I really appreciate the input. What did you notice over stock with the SPL rear camber kit? I ordered SPC for the front.

Greeting's Mr Rajmangal7,

Please note I will send you a private message of what my own experience
with the added SPL camber kit was.

You gentlemen do not need a technical write up from me taking up your
valuable build space. Also their are many other experienced members here
on the forum who are master mechanics and have written many articles
about the SPL camber kits.

Wishing you the best during your build... -Clifford :tup:

Superbright Leds
 
13 Attachment(s)
I finally got around and placed an order with Superbright for cool white LEDs. They made a huge difference over stock. They match my interior's frost leather color and they really bring the color out in the leather. The lights are much brighter than factory and this mod was well worth the money. It took me ten minutes to switch out all the bulbs involved. The only thing that I was personally disappointed in was that the doors are reflectors and not lights.

SPC Front Upper Control Arms

I just installed SPC upper control arms. I am not really noticing anything in ride quality, but it was a good mod to adjust camber.

SPL Rear Camber Arms
 
19 Attachment(s)
I got my SPL rear camber arms installed about a week ago. They didn't make a ride quality difference or handling for daily driving to me. This mod was well needed because now my back camber can be adjusted! This was a pretty easy install. I did this install alone in about 2-3 hours. I had a mishap so the driver rear camber arm was bent. After install, alignment time!!!

cigarclifford 12-06-2014 05:23 AM

Greeting's Mr Rajmangal7,

Great progress report and the many added photos......:iagree:

O2 Extenders
 
3 Attachment(s)
I'm not sure if this even counts as a mod, but I installed O2 extenders. Awhile back I installed my berk HFC's and they kept throwing a SES light pretty much every time i got past 5k. I did a test run and the extenders seem to work. 35$ from ebay shipped.

Memphis370Z 12-18-2014 07:35 PM

Glad to see the O2 extenders solved the CEL issue. I'm about to install some HFCs and have the same concern. Let us know if the problem pops back up.

Will do, I would advise going ahead and buying O2 extenders. I got the ones with a 90 degree angle so it might help trick it better. I can send you a link in a pm if need be. They work great so far.

Memphis370Z 12-18-2014 10:43 PM

Done. They actually came with the HFCs I ordered, so I should be in good shape. I was debating as to whether or not I should install the extenders, but seems like a no-brainer at this point. Again, thanks for posting this info and good luck with your ongoing mods!

OP, did you get that airbag issue resolved?

Dragon_Ball_Z 12-19-2014 12:46 AM

No MJB I haven't, my car is down to get some goodies painted :) I'll post pics Saturday/Sunday upon reinstall :) in going to look into the connector under the seat first before I take it in. I hope the connector is loose so I don't have to take it in.

Dragon_Ball_Z 12-22-2014 06:30 PM

Well. I'm throwing codes for high flow cats left and right. Not even pushing the car throwing a code every 20 miles or so. O2 extenders didn't work for me. Not sure what to do next.

Memphis370Z 12-22-2014 06:37 PM

Man, sorry to hear that. Seems like it may be time for a tune?

Dragon_Ball_Z 12-22-2014 06:42 PM

Yea, I'm trying to get an exhaust, intake plenum, and headers before that. I'm not sure why HFCs throw a code so easily.
