I think it looks good so far. What do you mean by modified 350z suspension? How did you modify it?

Well on the bottom of the front struts there is a shaft that's 3 inches long with a fork on the bottom to bolt to the control arm since I found the 350z suspension to high I cut the 3 inch shafts to 1 1/2 inches and welded the fork back tu the shaft thus maintaining spring rate and shock of the 350z. All in all I think it was a little over a 3 inch drop from stock

Ok from what I remember front rims are 8.5 x 18 zero offset running 225/45/18 and 9.5 x 18 +35 offset running 245/40/18 but I find the front tires are missing a bit of stretch so next time I will go with 215/45/18 instead and might add a 1/4 inch spacer in the rear that I have lying around

Ok so this weekend I got the dreaded climate control and radio death problem so decided to look into it more. I found a thread that explained that the power supply was to blame which is located under the tape deck. There was 3 resistors that had a cold weld so I welded them back up and booyah everything works fine still get the cd error message but at least everything else works the fix time took me about 2 hours total with breaks and searching for the resistors but still it cost no money and I like that
