My Nismo Wants/Wishlist/Project

torpedo2k · 08-16-2011, 11:03 AM

Just some notes on what I want in the future and what I am working on.
Might update periodically with pics, etc.

Here are my current wants for my Nismo:

-Center caps for the NISMO wheels.
OK Nissan, you have the supersized hamburgers front and rear. I want you off my wheels.... I have searched everywhere for replacements to no avail. Something simple. Even a color matching disk would be better. Need to measure to be sure.

-Front/Rear Hamburgers
OK Nissan. Love your products. 'nuff said. But I want to customize the car to my liking. I want the hamburgers gone. A nice big aluminum Z anodized black would be nice. Not impressed with the current offerings. Dont want a side marker that looks strange or the carbon fiber. I heard Z1 was working on something? Anybody?

-Overflow Tank
Would like an aluminum tank that could be powder coated to match my intake.

To Do
-Upgrade radio/speakers - Done (link)
-Stillen Gen3 Intake - Done (link)
-Z1 Oil Cooler Kit - Done (link)
-Stealth bulbs
-Finish titanium bolt dress install (in progress)
-Finish Z1 silicon install (in progress)
-LED lights
-Fix hatch latch rattle
-Nismo oil filler cap
-Springs(?) (still sitting on the fence)

What are your wants for the Nismo?

You could get them painted / colored depending on what you want the look to be. Its simple but could make a diff

Get one. You can never have too many Z's.

daisuke149 · 08-16-2011, 11:25 AM

im not getting enough Z's at night atm. : / thats thats the kind i need atm.

specZ · 08-16-2011, 10:10 PM

oil cooler,motordyne art pipes,uprev tune,headlights- not necessarily in that order.

FL 4Motion · 08-16-2011, 11:21 PM

To do list: (not necessarily in order)

1. intake (either PMTs, R2C, or Motordyne when it comes available)
2. Motordyne M370 IF I can see some convincing evidence that's it's really worth it, seems to be a hit or miss mod so far.
3. Nismo finned diff cover
4. Quaife LSD
5. 3.90 or 4.08 gears (maybe on this one, haven't made up my mind)
6. A.M. Performance extra capacity baffled oil pan
7. Front Brake ducting (if it ever becomes commercially available)
8. UpRev retune to maximize whp and optimize a/f ratio post new mods
9. VVEL tuning if/once it becomes available
10.Volk TE37SLs (one of only maybe 2 wheel choices that will actually drop unsprung weight off the car and still be as strong as the OEM nismo wheels)
11.A.M. Performance JRZ coilover setup as per their race cars (maybe and also IF they make it commercially available)
12.Z1 power steering cooler
13.Nismo extra body brace kit (or whatever it's called)
14.Lightweight clutch/flywheel combo+upgraded CSC
15.Lightweight and/or underdriven crank pully (still on the fence about this mod)

Sh!t, I went into writing this thinking I'd only have a few things and now my list is 15 items long. Dammit!

I agree with your mod list........the ones in red are the ones that I will be focussing on once my Greddy build is complete. Well, a built motor as well.
