Berk HFCs came Fri, Stillen Z-Tube and MD 5/16th Iso Plenum Spacer came in today. All will be installed in a few wks when I take it to Hills Garage in MD for a full tune up.

 

New wheels, winter set up since I hate the stock 17s. 18" 350z Ann wheels. Plasti dipped black then painted Black Pearl and finished with clear. Ichiba 25mm spacers all around, 5et Front 8et Rears. I have S Techs to put on but debating due to winter coming. Forgive my dirty pics.

 

man i hate black wheels. hate black oem wheels even more lol. so the cars not dropped? looks dropped i guess becus of the spacers?

 

I need to measure my fender height from center hub. This coupe has always looked lower than my 1st coupe. May be... I looked at the springs yesterday and they look like OEM. Oh well, doesn't matter too much at this point.

 

stock the g should be noticeably way higher. maybe its got z springs

 

I like how you update after you do something, it's really cool to see the progress you make on your car each step at a time. Looks amazing. Are you thinking about smoking the tail lights?

Where you blacked out the headlights, did you have chrome before that? I do on mine and at night it's black by itself so I'm not sure if I should black it out like yours or not.

 

Right now I want to debadged the rear fully. I am debating smoking or applying a light tint to the tails. The red looks really bright to me now that I put the black wheels on. I'm not following your question. My entire head light housing was chrome. I taped off the center because I wanted it to remain chrome then sanded the rest down. Couple coats of primer, sanded, couple coats of black pearl then clear. Done.

 

Where'd you get stock 17's from. I've only seen stock 18's and 19's on G's. But stock 17's would be great dorifto wheels. I mean, I know the 350 has'em and I could just use those, but I didn't know the G had'em.

edit: nurrrrmine. I'm assuming they came with the car when you bought it.

 

Car came with them. My original did too. I think they come with all 5AT coupes and sedans... Don't quote me on that tho. I think the 18s came with 6MT from 03-05 then the 19s from 06-07 on coupes. I'm getting rid of my 17s as well.

 

Just measured and the car is lower than stock height by about 1 inch all around according to a thread on here that I found. Camber looks corrected though. I'm gonna check to see if I have aftermarket camber kits this weekend when I put my black lugs on. Good eye

 

That'd be a win for sure. Car looks great, and what a steal!

 

Thanks Seymore!
A few off topic pics from my trip to Hills Garage for my tune up and breather mod installs.

 

Repainting my grill since I forgot to add clear coat to it the 1st time and blacking out my emblem as well. In the meantime I threw my Gialla grill on and hated the wideness of the holes in the mesh and the metal bar running down the center. Sooooooo... I bought some thinner, smaller hole mesh from home depot this wknd. I removed the old mesh and the center bar then put on the new mesh and painted the grill black pearl of course. Will get some better pics once this bright a$$ sun goes down.



Also fully debadged the rear. Pissed now tho! The emblem left a rust outline so I have to buff that **** out.

 

Finally swapped out my parking light bulbs to bright white LEDs.

Also, swapped out my fogs for "Ultra White" H1 bulbs... They are just as off white as the OEM bulbs. Just ordered my HID Kit for that.

 

Picked up a VERY lightly used AAM True Dual Exhaust today. Originally made for the 350Z so my muffler guy will have to add some piping to make it work.



After this installed I can get my Osiris Tune and hopefully be up to around 260-270WHP like my previous coupe.
