...I saw another Z and it sounded, looked, and performed better than mine. Also, I like being different than the Z's I do see from time to time...

This forum was a big influence.
Going to meets was a big influence. I asked myself why change up my sport rays? they looked good. Until I saw a bunch of 370's and 350's with great looking wheels when I went to Cerritos. But what truly inspired me to mod the Z goes back to my childhood. All my matchbox and hotwheels toys were tinted and had blacked out wheels using my dad's markers.

looks- keeping stock because all the kits for this car look like crap
just did the basics like the stereo becuase OEM is crap, drop in filters + post MAF tubes, and the only other mod i plan is FI exhaust. once the tires wear out i will upgrade those to better ones same with brake pads.

I've always liked Carbon Fiber and its a great contrast with the color of the 40th Anniversary, so thats partly why I have many CF pieces.
Outside of that, in terms of members, Nitrouz was a big inspiration. I didn't want to do exactly what he did and didn't but he had his 40th set up very nicely. Everything else, just tried to do right by the Z and get the best parts to make it more aggressive but also just keep it clean and classy.

Seeing overly done or hacked cars inspired my mods and list of mods to do. I like discrete. So as you can see my mods in my signature are pretty discrete. I want the extra power, without having an overly loud car or a car that appears to be modified. Right now I can tell pretty much anyone my car is 100% stock and they wouldnt know the difference. Other discrete mods on my list to do are Pulleys, UpRev Tune, 4.08 gears and a lightened flywheel and some rear window tint. With practice I hope to be able to run a 12.6.. in my "stock 370"

I wanted a OEM Black Edition 370z Touring/Sport, but they didn't make it like the GTR's...so I kitted a OEM Nissan Z34 S-tune front lip, side skirts, and rear spats...along with blacking out the wheels, tint, stereo..... I've been extremely happy with the results thus far...and yeah I like the OEM fitment of the kit...Was designed and made for the car by Nissan.

To make the car mine, to learn new things about the car, to learn by wrenching, and to have fun doing the work then reaping the rewards when I drive it.
Check out the pics of my car I posted 4/2/14 in my album

I found out I was living in the same city as Sasha. Went from 100% stock to his Boosted Performance kit in the span of like 2 months. He needed a car and I wanted power. haha
