Zerafians G35 build..clone of my 350z.

Zerafian · 07-03-2016, 09:35 PM

Starting this thread here a bit late but here it goes...apologies for the big pics. This site isnt auto resizing like g35driver and my350z

Got the car in Jan 2013 and started modding 6 months later, very slowly.

Started with Motordynes ART pipes 6/30/2013

Then I got the TDX2 7/18/2013

Got the install 7/20/2013...video taken in september
Motordyne sways 9/1/2013

Stance SS and spc camber arms 9/12/2013

Muteki SR48s

Due to my ordering of very expensive wheels I took it upon myself to grab a garage spot at my complex. Chattanooga is NOT a very safe city when it comes to theft % so it was pretty much common sense to get one before my wheels came in

after 18 weeks my wheels are finally here!

Zerafian · 07-03-2016, 09:36 PM

mounted and lowered...few pics before I find a nice spot for a proper photoshoot...and cooperating weather.

went out and snapped a few pics today. Took a break from work so I didnt have time to find super pretty locations. Out of 30 pics this is the only one I liked

only had my iphone 4s so quality isnt so hot at the distance the car was at

Zerafian · 07-03-2016, 09:36 PM

Installed! Ill take it back to the shop next week for further fitment clean up and prepping the hood and trunk. Wont be until July that I take it to ATL for the pearl white wrap

Zerafian · 07-03-2016, 09:37 PM

Fast forward to a few days ago

Car is prepped, primed and ready to go for the wrap!

Got my 06+ heads coming in this week(thanks to UltraBootz) and working on my gloss black grill at home. Exterior is almost done. Just need legit clear side markers, new taillights and a front and side splitter.

After that Ill most likely dive inside the car for interior updates.

Going with 3Ms new pearl white gold sparkle wrap. Recently saw a Fisker wrapped in it by the shop doing my wrap and its gorgeous

for anyone curious, this is how my old 350z looked before its end in 2011

Zerafian · 07-06-2016, 06:22 PM

Headlights and black grill installed!

Nice ride. If you're in need of a strut bar, I have one for sale.

Good job and good luck with your project car.

thank! I do plan to do engine bay work eventually but after I spend $2200 on a wrap, Ill be hard pressed to spend any money on the car, besides fixing the window motor and getting new bulbs for the headlights...at least in the near future.

Zerafian · 08-05-2016, 10:05 PM

So yesterday I jumped on the interstate...hit a dip in the road at about 60mph and one of my exhaust tips fly off, bounces and go over the car behind me and roll into the median.

Luckily it didnt hit anyones car and Im not sure how since there were a good 10-12 cars right behind me.

Last week I was doing work on my car, removed the tips and the only thing I can think is that I didnt tighten all 3 bolts that hold the tips on the piping. I took the remaining tip off the car and only one was tight as well. I guess I should say Im doubly lucky since they didnt both pop off.

Anyways, now Iv got 2 new tips on the way to my house. The current ones are nearly 3 years old and pretty worn so I figure what the hell.

The tip ended up with some deep cuts and the opening is now shaped like an egg. It took a beating, could probably be repaired but Im not about to drive around with it like that.

Went with ConceptZperformance since each tip was only $75 a piece after shipping. Motordynes site wanted to charge $111a piece after shipping. Nothing like saving $70 on something I shouldnt have had to replace.
I guess my new duradal center caps will have to wait!

Zerafian · 08-05-2016, 10:05 PM

New interior LEDs. Doors, trunk, license plate and over head/courtesy. Made sure to wait until night to get the true brightness. So much better then those garbage dim yellow lights. Makes the car feel a bit nicer too.

Zerafian · 08-20-2016, 11:35 PM

random pics taken from a meet today. Cant wait until this thing is all pearl white in September

Zbrah · 08-21-2016, 01:45 AM

Nice G build. Didn't see this thread until now. Subbed to follow your progression.

It's too bad about the tips, I had to installed new tips on my motordyne last week and was thinking to myself how retarded the way these tips are secured by three bolts. I guess you gotta keep checking them every now and then to make sure they didn't come loose. My old bolts were rusted and seized up and I rounded with the Allen wrench...finally had it removed using a flat head and mallet wedging the old tips out. Did you pick up the Gt-r tips? I got the 4.5 but it seems small lol now thinking I should get the 5"

thanks man!

Yeah, it did suck but it was definitely 100% my fault. I stuck with the 4.5", it already kinda feels like a tight fit near the rear bumper.

Zerafian · 08-27-2016, 09:46 PM

finally got to see clear side markers with the bump in person and decided they looked good....so I bought some!

Zerafian · 09-22-2016, 06:27 PM

Car dropped off at the shop for the wrap! Body shop apparently missed a few things and now Iv got to pay over x2 as much in labor cost for them to go ahead and fix it....

anywho, 7-10 days, optimistically speaking and $2500 later
using these guys
